I found Rand/Lews Therin's attitude to this Forsaken to be very interesting in this book. I've always thought that she was one of the most dangerous people in the world, but Lews Therin amplified this to a level I didn't expect.
The funny thing about this is that Lews Therin has absolutely no idea how to beat her. He knows that she can't be baited into a duel. He admits that she is more intelligent and crafty than he is. You can literally feel how every step he anticipates, he expects her to have already countered. Lews Therin is not subtle in saying that she knows more about the mind and humanity than any other person. He knows how to fight Rahvin or Sammael, or other Forsaken, but he can't fathom this one.
For this reason, he was forced to commit a mass atrocity to capture her. It was the one thing she wouldn't anticipate... or would she? Either way, although Lews Therin established his fear of falling into Semirhage's hands, he made a big scene about Graendal and her lethal nature.

Graendal wasn't that deadly...

I think she's the most deadly and intelligent. The others are idiots, IMHO.

This whole Graendal is alive-idea

Here's the deal, though. Semirhage actions actually followed part of the theory to a tee.

I just don't understand the logic here

It's quite simple logic.

Some points no one addressed, a.k.a. Graendal lured Rand in...

Still no answers. I think I'm correct in feeling she is alive. *NM*

I think she escaped, but it says something that he had to become worse than a Forsaken to do it

Thanks for reminding me. Oh well, then I'm stuck with the whole tearing apart the Pattern thing

In this case, Moiraine's comment doesn't really matter.

I don't think it's acceptable to tear apart the Pattern to save it.

Difference between being dangerous and hard to kill--but, she is dangerous

Not to take away from Graendal, but my vote goes to Semirhage or Aginor
