Without knowing just what happens in GS I would speculate something about Tar Valon. Also, I'm rusty on WOT lore, but wasn't there a tower in Seanchan too? So maybe it is about the two towers and the war for Tar Valon?


If Egwene only has five or six chapters in the book, I would guess that most, though not all, of the battling over Tar Valon would happen in TGS. Still, it seems likely that the Rand-Eg confrontation will happen in TV in the course of the book, so it isn't out of the question that the Tower could have a role to play.

The Seanchan idea is an intriguing possibility, but didn't either RJ or Sanderson say somewhere that we wouldn't be seeing Seanchan proper in the remaining books (debunking the theory that Rand would literally kneal before the Crystal Throne), or am I dreaming that up?

Also, any thoughts on the significance of Midnight in the title, beyond reenforcing the absence-of-light motif of AMOL?

Does "Towers of Midnight" refer to the Seanchan fortress? - 19/09/2009 01:24:56 AM 2446 Views

It's the place in Seanchan where the a'dam was first used. - 19/09/2009 03:46:46 AM 1814 Views

But RJ can change his mind right? - 19/09/2009 01:38:54 PM 1392 Views
Of course. It would be nice to know where/when the comment was made. *NM* - 19/09/2009 01:53:35 PM 838 Views
I think AmoL is one the better titles ever to grace a fantasy novel! - 19/09/2009 11:46:19 AM 1458 Views

I think "Dance of Lightnings" is way too reminiscent of GRMM *NM* - 19/09/2009 08:26:12 PM 859 Views
He'd probably go with "Lance of Lightning". *NM* - 19/09/2009 09:42:11 PM 723 Views
