If Graendal died - and IMO there are no convincing reasons to believe otherwise - she wasn't Asmo's killer.

But the simply reason is then, that Graendal certainly won't have another PoV, and it makes not much sense to let another character than the killer reveal who murdered Asmo. Also RJ said in an interview that, if he will reveal it in the books, the killer will probably think about killing Asmo in the own PoV. This simply makes the most sense to create a powerful revelation scene to the most discussed mystery in the whole series. I see no reason why BS should do it in the less probable way. Since Graendal had the chance to reveal it in her last PoV in TGS (and in her several poV before..), but didn't do it, it follows that she most likely wasn't the killer (of course, the Graendaldunnit theory was anyway always very tenuous, if you really look into the mystery of Asmo's death).

Graendal might have sent Slayer, though (she or Lanfear, most likely).


and if she did kill him, then why not reveal it outright in her PoV from the Prologue? It would have been as good a time as any, really.

Sanderson eliminates a particular somebody from consideration as Asmodean's killer - 11/11/2009 05:18:48 PM 1830 Views
He didn't say if she did or did not. - 11/11/2009 05:27:34 PM 795 Views
I definately did not see conclusive evidence; in fact... - 11/11/2009 05:32:20 PM 862 Views
Yes, Brandon did. I edited my original message to add in another quote from Brandon...see above *NM* - 11/11/2009 05:33:27 PM 410 Views
That still doesn't say if she did or did not. - 11/11/2009 05:39:12 PM 814 Views
It eliminates for the following - 11/11/2009 05:44:29 PM 799 Views
That's quite a leap of logic... - 11/11/2009 06:31:21 PM 913 Views

Er? I think you're reading it wrong. - 11/11/2009 06:32:17 PM 739 Views
I can't follow your logic - 11/11/2009 06:33:41 PM 685 Views

I'm sorry but you are terribly wrong. - 11/11/2009 08:34:56 PM 735 Views
That is a fallacious leap of logic. - 11/11/2009 06:50:13 PM 749 Views
Yes, but... - 11/11/2009 07:49:39 PM 725 Views
That is still erroneous. - 11/11/2009 08:10:15 PM 694 Views

There's nothing in those quotes that even touches on who killed Asmodean. - 11/11/2009 06:40:31 PM 744 Views
This logic is lacking as well - 11/11/2009 10:17:48 PM 773 Views

But do you agree that Graendal cannot reveal herself if she got balefired? *NM* - 11/11/2009 08:07:53 PM 382 Views
Sure she can reveal herself! Even if she got Balefired! - 11/11/2009 08:52:49 PM 786 Views
this is what happens when you get interrupted in the middle of a post *NM* - 11/11/2009 09:28:01 PM 368 Views
What? Did you double post? - 11/11/2009 09:49:15 PM 663 Views
According to Etzel, this is impossible - 12/11/2009 04:14:47 AM 714 Views
Why is it impossible? You can't have parallel timelines? *NM* - 12/11/2009 11:29:45 AM 367 Views
I don't say it's impossible... - 12/11/2009 03:11:17 PM 733 Views
This was done in the series before... - 12/11/2009 03:40:58 PM 671 Views

Not so suspicious if he's read some fan reactions/theories. - 12/11/2009 11:48:30 AM 705 Views
Which he clearly said he did and LOL'd at. *NM* - 18/11/2009 11:33:58 PM 363 Views
Maybe I missed something. - 12/11/2009 03:02:59 PM 665 Views
Yeah, BS will reveal it either in ToM or AMoL. *NM* - 12/11/2009 03:12:16 PM 324 Views
