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).


and if she did kill him, then why not reveal it outright in her PoV from the Prologue? It would have been as good a time as any, really.

Sanderson eliminates a particular somebody from consideration as Asmodean's killer - 11/11/2009 05:18:48 PM 1719 Views
He didn't say if she did or did not. - 11/11/2009 05:27:34 PM 693 Views
I definately did not see conclusive evidence; in fact... - 11/11/2009 05:32:20 PM 767 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 361 Views
That still doesn't say if she did or did not. - 11/11/2009 05:39:12 PM 685 Views

Er? I think you're reading it wrong. - 11/11/2009 06:32:17 PM 648 Views

I'm sorry but you are terribly wrong. - 11/11/2009 08:34:56 PM 628 Views
That is a fallacious leap of logic. - 11/11/2009 06:50:13 PM 646 Views
Yes, but... - 11/11/2009 07:49:39 PM 630 Views
That is still erroneous. - 11/11/2009 08:10:15 PM 607 Views

There's nothing in those quotes that even touches on who killed Asmodean. - 11/11/2009 06:40:31 PM 642 Views
This logic is lacking as well - 11/11/2009 10:17:48 PM 681 Views

But do you agree that Graendal cannot reveal herself if she got balefired? *NM* - 11/11/2009 08:07:53 PM 339 Views
Sure she can reveal herself! Even if she got Balefired! - 11/11/2009 08:52:49 PM 678 Views
this is what happens when you get interrupted in the middle of a post *NM* - 11/11/2009 09:28:01 PM 325 Views
What? Did you double post? - 11/11/2009 09:49:15 PM 572 Views
According to Etzel, this is impossible - 12/11/2009 04:14:47 AM 621 Views
Why is it impossible? You can't have parallel timelines? *NM* - 12/11/2009 11:29:45 AM 314 Views
I don't say it's impossible... - 12/11/2009 03:11:17 PM 624 Views
This was done in the series before... - 12/11/2009 03:40:58 PM 565 Views

Not so suspicious if he's read some fan reactions/theories. - 12/11/2009 11:48:30 AM 587 Views
Which he clearly said he did and LOL'd at. *NM* - 18/11/2009 11:33:58 PM 317 Views
Maybe I missed something. - 12/11/2009 03:02:59 PM 574 Views
Yeah, BS will reveal it either in ToM or AMoL. *NM* - 12/11/2009 03:12:16 PM 264 Views
