Graendal survived to provide us with a small surprise in this book. She revealed herself as Asmodean's killer. She interacted with Moridin and revealed things about the other Forsaken. She's also alive and well for the Last Battle. That's plenty...
All of which could have been done without her frankly pathetic escape. Except for her last minute conversion to the light that is no doubt on the way.

It's pacing and editing was bad, I see and agree on that. But the story overall was great.
