WoT 13 title: "Towers of Midnight" Dodge Send a noteboard - 19/09/2009 01:04:23 AM
On his blog (linked below) Sanderson writes:

"As for that book . . . well, it's time for it to have a title. We've been calling it Shifting Winds up until this point, but that was never intended to be the final title. After a long round of conversations with Tor and Harriet, we settled on TOWERS OF MIDNIGHT as the title. There are various reasons for this, which I'll go into more once the book is out next year. I'm pleased, however, as this was the title I suggested. It's actually appropriate in an interesting way. Harriet was the one who came up with the name for the first of the three, and the second one gets the title I proposed. And so, we will (as I've been saying for a while) use Mr. Jordan's title for the final of the three, A MEMORY OF LIGHT."

So, what do you think of the title? And what do you think it refers to?!

Does "Towers of Midnight" refer to the Seanchan fortress? Dodge - 19/09/2009 01:24:56 AM 2530 Views
Almost definitely. 13 towers in the complex. *NM* Werthead - 19/09/2009 01:35:49 AM 1056 Views

It's the place in Seanchan where the a'dam was first used. Werthead - 19/09/2009 03:46:46 AM 1890 Views
It would be nice place for Seeker Morr to torture Demandred, IMHO posing as General Galgan *NM* Curie - 20/09/2009 09:57:11 AM 1022 Views
Yes, there seem to be quite a few towers in this series, huh? *NM* Fantasy - 20/09/2009 11:16:27 PM 782 Views
A series of towers, one might say. *NM* fionwe1987 - 20/09/2009 11:39:56 PM 762 Views

I agree. This was the 1st thing I thought of when I saw this. Cannoli - 19/09/2009 05:56:50 AM 1657 Views
Doesn't have to be a major arc though Rurouni_Kenshin - 19/09/2009 06:37:55 AM 1474 Views
I can't find the relevant comment from RJ, but... RandAllThor - 19/09/2009 12:40:03 PM 1607 Views
Thanks, I thought I remembered RJ saying as much. *NM* RandAllThor - 19/09/2009 12:25:20 PM 729 Views
But RJ can change his mind right? redhand - 19/09/2009 01:38:54 PM 1459 Views
Of course. It would be nice to know where/when the comment was made. *NM* RandAllThor - 19/09/2009 01:53:35 PM 874 Views
I ask that you put spoilers in your title, whether they're in white or not. Thank you. *NM* Palatine - 19/09/2009 07:16:20 PM 744 Views
I think AmoL is one the better titles ever to grace a fantasy novel! Dragonsworn - 19/09/2009 11:46:19 AM 1520 Views
It's a sweet title Fantasy - 20/09/2009 11:17:56 PM 1355 Views

Typical title... Etzel - 19/09/2009 06:03:48 PM 1527 Views
I think "Dance of Lightnings" is way too reminiscent of GRMM *NM* NaClH2O - 19/09/2009 08:26:12 PM 889 Views
He'd probably go with "Lance of Lightning". *NM* TaskmasterJack - 19/09/2009 09:42:11 PM 758 Views
That sorta sounds like a...er...adult cinematic feature title NaClH2O - 20/09/2009 02:59:51 AM 1350 Views
Perfect for Martin, then. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 21/09/2009 01:33:45 AM 646 Views
Well... Etzel - 20/09/2009 11:36:03 AM 1386 Views
But a Crown of Swords came before a Storm of Swords. *NM* fionwe1987 - 20/09/2009 05:35:34 PM 727 Views
Hmm, so what? Etzel - 20/09/2009 05:52:38 PM 1403 Views
It's a bit 'generic fantasy title'...... *NM* MikeyMikeyMikey - 19/09/2009 09:52:17 PM 780 Views
