However, I find it even more illogical, that Graendal basically wanted Rand to find her, so that he could balefire her palace and Graendal could fake her death, or how do you explain it then? It makes more sense that Graendal simply didn't think that Kerb would be found by Rand, or - if he were found - could help Rand, because of the strong Compulsion.

Graendal's death would imply a major logical flaw in the story. fionwe1987 - 25/01/2010 05:18:23 PM 2892 Views
