But... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 25/01/2010 11:44:49 PM


Greandal just couldn't beleive that some 20+ age girl could figure out her weave and that's why she considered herself to be safe from Kerb-guy.



If that was so, why kill off the messenger? She couldn't have changed her mind about Nynaeve's competence half way through her plan!

Graendal's death would imply a major logical flaw in the story. fionwe1987 - 25/01/2010 05:18:23 PM 2703 Views
I think Graendal's death was a great scene Etzel - 25/01/2010 05:26:51 PM 1401 Views
