Trust me, Graendal won't be seen; only her name will be mentioned a few times (as BS said). *NM* Etzel Send a noteboard - 15/07/2010 09:03:33 AM
Such a flashback device with a dead character never happened in the books before. It's the same as stating that it is likely that Semirhage, Elza, the BA in Caemlyn or any other dead characters will yet get a revealing scene in ToM where they chat about something. Completely absurd and also contrary to what BS said on this topic.

If there will be more info about Graendal it will come in the PoV from other characters, like fellow Forsaken or SH (or BS will reveal in in a Q&A). That is the way it is always done in the series, if a character died, and just makes the most sense.


In the end only the author can decide what is necessary for the plot. Are you going to write a complaint card if Graendal is seen in ToM?

This... Etzel - 12/07/2010 04:54:28 PM 1039 Views
how do you get there from this? darius_sedai - 12/07/2010 05:47:42 PM 915 Views
Right. There could easily be a scene like this: beetnemesis - 12/07/2010 06:22:45 PM 843 Views
Because... Etzel - 12/07/2010 10:40:29 PM 862 Views
You're brilliant, Etzel, but Brandon is NOT robert jordan newyorkersedai - 13/07/2010 01:18:44 AM 809 Views
He said it won't be 100% flashback like book 10 Rurouni_Kenshin - 13/07/2010 05:30:18 AM 721 Views
But obviously not for the timelines, which are up to date. Etzel - 13/07/2010 08:41:37 AM 835 Views
the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:39:52 AM 807 Views
Re: the only reason you say this is because you think it makes Slayer dacole - 14/07/2010 04:54:16 AM 764 Views
Graendal is part of several plot lines. Aran'gar at the very least is unseen in TGS, but involved darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:40:09 PM 787 Views
No... Etzel - 14/07/2010 08:10:12 AM 717 Views
so it's not possible for anything that has never been done in the series to happen... ok darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 02:38:08 PM 681 Views
Again, there is no sensible reason for a scene where Graendal is shown again before her death. *NM* Etzel - 14/07/2010 04:47:21 PM 652 Views
sure there is ... to tell us she killed Asmo darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 04:56:09 PM 858 Views
Again... Etzel - 15/07/2010 08:57:34 AM 624 Views
or it could as easily be a scene from Aran'gar's POV that includes Graendal darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:36:21 PM 783 Views
The point is... Etzel - 15/07/2010 01:55:43 PM 703 Views
that is 100% your interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:51:49 PM 720 Views
Noal was involved with Ishy; a connection to Graendal is pure speculation. Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:19:38 PM 657 Views
I'm pointing out that she had more than just Rands plot line darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 03:59:36 PM 632 Views
As far as we know... Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:06:56 PM 679 Views
she also knows what Cyndane and Moghedien are up to and may be involved darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 01:58:36 PM 849 Views
There is nothing to support your view, that Graendal was directly involved in any other plotlines... Etzel - 16/07/2010 02:31:01 PM 612 Views
She doesn't have to be in order to make an appearance in them darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:26:44 PM 751 Views
We will see... *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:36:21 PM 941 Views
Indeed Sidious - 13/07/2010 08:49:43 AM 641 Views
The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:14:04 AM 862 Views
give up Eztel...they think they know Asmodens killer...we know they are wrong dacole - 13/07/2010 09:45:15 AM 760 Views
I agree regarding Graendal, but have to disagree concerning Lanfear. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 09:51:00 AM 872 Views
Re: The "flashbacks" are obviously related to those characters, which aren't up to date yet... Sidious - 13/07/2010 10:03:14 AM 781 Views
It's completely unlikely and unnecessary Etzel - 13/07/2010 10:25:36 AM 850 Views
you keep trotting this point out like it matters darius_sedai - 14/07/2010 09:07:36 PM 737 Views
a very irritating habit indeed!! Sidious - 15/07/2010 05:29:19 AM 832 Views
There is no indication that Graendal & Aran'gar did anything, except for exchanging infos! Etzel - 15/07/2010 09:01:58 AM 659 Views
where do you get this stuff from? darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:41:07 PM 875 Views
Eh, no Etzel - 15/07/2010 02:08:56 PM 734 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:56:02 PM 679 Views
Graendal actually tells that she learned interesting things from Aran'gar Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:14:54 PM 816 Views
pure interpretation darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 04:00:31 PM 749 Views
Well, it fits RJ's theme that the bad guys actually aren't that competent. *NM* Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:12:19 PM 817 Views
No really since it would make Aran'gar look pretty competent *NM* darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:27:40 PM 328 Views
Aran'gar just had the luck that Rand wasn't after her Etzel - 16/07/2010 03:34:53 PM 548 Views
Exchanging info is not doing nothing Sidious - 15/07/2010 06:54:17 PM 666 Views

IMO... Etzel - 16/07/2010 08:46:03 AM 613 Views
And... Etzel - 16/07/2010 11:35:44 AM 738 Views
you continue to ignore that Graendal died about 2 months after she darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 02:06:48 PM 753 Views
Usually the Forsaken meet in neutral TAR... Etzel - 16/07/2010 02:22:34 PM 802 Views
not really darius_sedai - 16/07/2010 03:58:57 PM 884 Views
Good, then we agree, if you consider it unlikely as well. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:56:50 PM 861 Views
Trust me, Graendal won't be seen; only her name will be mentioned a few times (as BS said). *NM* Etzel - 15/07/2010 09:03:33 AM 745 Views
You should really just write it for BS since you clearly know exactly what's going to happen darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 02:57:59 PM 739 Views
Ok... Etzel - 15/07/2010 03:17:02 PM 651 Views
When did I say there would be a Graendal POV? darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 04:03:54 PM 737 Views
I also just said that... Etzel - 15/07/2010 04:10:32 PM 632 Views

Re: I think Datakim - 16/07/2010 04:37:20 PM 791 Views
Yeah, RAFO! I predigt however, that we won't have another Graendal PoV. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:59:26 PM 708 Views
Etzel, you're making an assumption that might not be true. Logain - 16/07/2010 05:47:39 PM 826 Views
I admit the possibility, but consider it highly unlikely for the reasons I pointed out. *NM* Etzel - 16/07/2010 05:58:01 PM 790 Views

Rand used so much baelfire on her that he zapped them all back to the last 3rd Age darius_sedai - 15/07/2010 01:38:48 PM 871 Views
I wonder if their big role means Rand and Eg will get more chapters than first thought. *NM* RandAllThor - 12/07/2010 05:27:44 PM 778 Views
Yeah, seems so. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 12:19:53 PM 741 Views
Brandon's "Mostly" answer makes it less likely we see the Land of Madmen as Demandred's base Logain - 12/07/2010 07:36:49 PM 877 Views
hrmm, not necessarily Kieran - 12/07/2010 09:28:00 PM 681 Views
I agree. *NM* Etzel - 13/07/2010 12:24:21 PM 358 Views

On a somewhat related note, Sanderson says ToM consists of 80 chapters as of now. Ginormous! RandAllThor - 13/07/2010 01:54:15 AM 665 Views
