As often said, a Graendal PoV in ToM from before her death is highly unlikely Etzel Send a noteboard - 25/01/2010 05:05:15 PM
RJ never did something like this before in the WoT (e.g. letting Rahvin have a PoV from before his death in LoC, or Sammael having a PoV in PoD). I also didn't find such a plot device in BS's Mistborn series (spontaneously, I don't know any fantasy series, where something like this happens). On the contrary, in his annotations on Mistborn, BS even states that he doesn't like hopping back in a specific timeline, and tries to avoid it (of course, he has to bring Mat, Perrin and some other characters behind Rand's plotline forward). If BS wanted yet another Graendal PoV, it would have appeared in TGS. If we need further informations on Graendal's plot, she will be mentioned by other characters, like Moridin, maybe SH or Aran'gar. This is also supported by BS's statement that only Graendal's name will be mentioned a few times in ToM. Plus, that he wants to make ToM more to work on its own, and not feel like "All of the stuff that didn't go in TGS thrown together" (which a Graendal PoV from before her death would precisely feel like).

All in all, nothing supports the pretty far-fecthed idea that Graendal will have a PoV from before her death in ToM, besides the feeling that it might be "cool".

Graendal can't be ruled out yet *NM* - 25/01/2010 12:39:25 PM 494 Views

Brandon took special care not to confirm her death though. So there's a chance. - 25/01/2010 03:39:58 PM 497 Views

Actually he took special care to confirm her death IMO - 25/01/2010 04:28:40 PM 561 Views

Yup, I think we'll just see Moridin think of her. - 26/01/2010 08:35:31 AM 495 Views

This is going to be a really tedious wait until the next book, isn't it? - 26/01/2010 07:33:18 PM 483 Views
