If Graendal died - and IMO there are no convincing reasons to believe otherwise - she wasn't Asmo's killer.

But the simply reason is then, that Graendal certainly won't have another PoV, and it makes not much sense to let another character than the killer reveal who murdered Asmo. Also RJ said in an interview that, if he will reveal it in the books, the killer will probably think about killing Asmo in the own PoV. This simply makes the most sense to create a powerful revelation scene to the most discussed mystery in the whole series. I see no reason why BS should do it in the less probable way. Since Graendal had the chance to reveal it in her last PoV in TGS (and in her several poV before..), but didn't do it, it follows that she most likely wasn't the killer (of course, the Graendaldunnit theory was anyway always very tenuous, if you really look into the mystery of Asmo's death).

Graendal might have sent Slayer, though (she or Lanfear, most likely).


How much stock do you put in RJ's musing during an interview about what he would "probably" do? It's not like he left notes for the next author that declare "Asmo's killer must think about the murder in their own POV". What you're talking about is Jordan's original intention of what he might do.

Sanderson eliminates a particular somebody from consideration as Asmodean's killer - 11/11/2009 05:18:48 PM 1655 Views
He didn't say if she did or did not. - 11/11/2009 05:27:34 PM 632 Views
I definately did not see conclusive evidence; in fact... - 11/11/2009 05:32:20 PM 702 Views
Yes, Brandon did. I edited my original message to add in another quote from Brandon...see above *NM* - 11/11/2009 05:33:27 PM 335 Views
That still doesn't say if she did or did not. - 11/11/2009 05:39:12 PM 612 Views

I'm sorry but you are terribly wrong. - 11/11/2009 08:34:56 PM 563 Views
That is a fallacious leap of logic. - 11/11/2009 06:50:13 PM 580 Views
Yes, but... - 11/11/2009 07:49:39 PM 557 Views
That is still erroneous. - 11/11/2009 08:10:15 PM 534 Views

There's nothing in those quotes that even touches on who killed Asmodean. - 11/11/2009 06:40:31 PM 568 Views

But do you agree that Graendal cannot reveal herself if she got balefired? *NM* - 11/11/2009 08:07:53 PM 308 Views
Sure she can reveal herself! Even if she got Balefired! - 11/11/2009 08:52:49 PM 618 Views
this is what happens when you get interrupted in the middle of a post *NM* - 11/11/2009 09:28:01 PM 298 Views

According to Etzel, this is impossible - 12/11/2009 04:14:47 AM 553 Views
Why is it impossible? You can't have parallel timelines? *NM* - 12/11/2009 11:29:45 AM 283 Views
I don't say it's impossible... - 12/11/2009 03:11:17 PM 554 Views
