I believe "weeks" is an exaggeration, but Graendal already knew where Perrin was at that time, she just hadn't told Moridin yet. She's a planner, we all know that. She had already come up with the plan to ambush and kill Perrin, and so she would have started working on it by turning Gill. She thought it would work without the dreamspike; she told Moridin about it with confidence before she knew he had it. The dreamspike was not part of her plan until Moridin gave it to her, but she had the plan long before she got the dreamspike and Slayer. The dreamspike just didn't go in place until after Tam left.

I cannot respond to the last question in that paragraph unless you specify what continuity errors you mean. But the one about Graendal is not a continuity error.



Please specify some of this "juvenile, childlike and hamfisted prose", because I didn't notice any. I've enjoyed Sanderson's prose far more than any of the prose Jordan had written since A Crown of Swords.

Care to name any ridiculous and senseless metaphors?

How is Galad out of character? As for Ituralde, to be honest, Knife of Dreams bored me so much that I don't really recall how he was characterized in it, compared to how he was characterized here, but I was fine with him.



I don't see this one either. The other Aes Sedai have always been idiots. Gawyn has always seemed like a bit of an idiot to me too. Nynaeve didn't seem like an idiot to me. Elayne seemed like much less of an idiot than she did as written by Jordan, and since she still did some pretty dumb things that's saying something. I can't think of any other important supporting characters who interacted with Egwene. Again, please specify.



You're so cute.
