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 1663 Views
He didn't say if she did or did not. - 11/11/2009 05:27:34 PM 640 Views
I definately did not see conclusive evidence; in fact... - 11/11/2009 05:32:20 PM 717 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 339 Views
That still doesn't say if she did or did not. - 11/11/2009 05:39:12 PM 619 Views

That's quite a leap of logic... - 11/11/2009 06:31:21 PM 757 Views

Er? I think you're reading it wrong. - 11/11/2009 06:32:17 PM 585 Views
I can't follow your logic - 11/11/2009 06:33:41 PM 539 Views

I'm sorry but you are terribly wrong. - 11/11/2009 08:34:56 PM 575 Views
That is a fallacious leap of logic. - 11/11/2009 06:50:13 PM 590 Views
Yes, but... - 11/11/2009 07:49:39 PM 566 Views
That is still erroneous. - 11/11/2009 08:10:15 PM 544 Views

There's nothing in those quotes that even touches on who killed Asmodean. - 11/11/2009 06:40:31 PM 581 Views
This logic is lacking as well - 11/11/2009 10:17:48 PM 619 Views

But do you agree that Graendal cannot reveal herself if she got balefired? *NM* - 11/11/2009 08:07:53 PM 312 Views
Sure she can reveal herself! Even if she got Balefired! - 11/11/2009 08:52:49 PM 626 Views
this is what happens when you get interrupted in the middle of a post *NM* - 11/11/2009 09:28:01 PM 302 Views
What? Did you double post? - 11/11/2009 09:49:15 PM 516 Views
According to Etzel, this is impossible - 12/11/2009 04:14:47 AM 565 Views
Why is it impossible? You can't have parallel timelines? *NM* - 12/11/2009 11:29:45 AM 288 Views
I don't say it's impossible... - 12/11/2009 03:11:17 PM 564 Views
This was done in the series before... - 12/11/2009 03:40:58 PM 508 Views

Not so suspicious if he's read some fan reactions/theories. - 12/11/2009 11:48:30 AM 534 Views
Which he clearly said he did and LOL'd at. *NM* - 18/11/2009 11:33:58 PM 294 Views

Yeah, BS will reveal it either in ToM or AMoL. *NM* - 12/11/2009 03:12:16 PM 240 Views
