I agree that the set up for her death was rather lame darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 25/01/2010 06:14:07 PM
Not only does she leave Kerb sitting there for no reason, but her weaves aren't even inverted! Then she sends Rahmashalam back to Rand with yet another non-inverted weave and just sits there?

I'd like to at least have closure on her death in ToM ... RJ finally gave us a "Sammael is toast" and an explanation that getting eaten by Mashadar prohibits transmigration ... BSand's unwillingness to outright tell us she's "toast" makes me think Graendal's story line still has more to unfold.

Graendal's death would imply a major logical flaw in the story. fionwe1987 - 25/01/2010 05:18:23 PM 2732 Views
