I was assuming Delana was mind-dead compulsed to weave the complex weaves by guttering flame Send a noteboard - 10/12/2009 06:34:09 AM
I have no answer in terms of the Compulsion. Nor can I immediately deduce why Delana would weave it instead. But the whole trail leading to her being found and games within games is more interesting than the plot as it reads now.

I appreciate the need to get this book out and the enormous job Sanderson had/has on his hands. But too I think he is rushing through things (or not paying enough attention to details--Egwene getting a sa'angreal when none of the Forsaken have, Semi's personality, Mesaana suddenly revealing her strength when before she hasn't) or not being really good about carrying though with plot lines woven over books and books and books (I think of DomA's comparison of Arad Doman to a madhouse).



This brings the puzzle together for me. I was sure Greandal didn't get discovered accidentally. The whole compulsed poisoner plotline was ridiculous in its noticeability. I figured Greandal implanted him to fake her death and that she used some compulsed black sister to impersonate her and weave the compulsion on Rashomon. And now Delana's is mentioned and of course she'd be the perfect candidate.

I wrote a theory about Greandal role behind the scenes in this book by the way

I think the weaving was too complex for a n00b like Delana. Nynaeve's comments point to Graendal. - 09/12/2009 10:52:55 PM 485 Views

She'd have had to ask the right questions to get the right answers. - 07/12/2009 12:44:29 AM 592 Views
