Towers Dominic Send a noteboard - 19/09/2009 05:39:53 AM
So, what do you think of the title? And what do you think it refers to?!


ok so my guess is it will be based on the fact that this book will focus on all the different towers... I think with gathering storms its gonna be a book of mostly tying up things **spoiler like what we see happen to Masema in the prologue....** and setting the framework for the second book which should contain the major events I think many of us agree are coming... Saving Moiraine from the tower, dealing with both the white and black towers, dealing with the seanchan, which can refer directly to the towers of midnight, **spoiler Moridin's fortress is described as a black tower in the prologue....** I mean damn thats alot of towers that major events need to happen in... Gathering storms can be a book initself seting all those major events up and towers of midnight is getting all those things wrapped up so we can go full steam in to Tarmon Gaidon in a memory of light... midnight besides again the obvious seanchan tie, being the the middle of the night, the darkest time before the dawn...

Just thinking outloud...

Does "Towers of Midnight" refer to the Seanchan fortress? - 19/09/2009 01:24:56 AM 2530 Views

It's the place in Seanchan where the a'dam was first used. - 19/09/2009 03:46:46 AM 1892 Views

But RJ can change his mind right? - 19/09/2009 01:38:54 PM 1459 Views
Of course. It would be nice to know where/when the comment was made. *NM* - 19/09/2009 01:53:35 PM 874 Views
I think AmoL is one the better titles ever to grace a fantasy novel! - 19/09/2009 11:46:19 AM 1521 Views

I think "Dance of Lightnings" is way too reminiscent of GRMM *NM* - 19/09/2009 08:26:12 PM 889 Views
He'd probably go with "Lance of Lightning". *NM* - 19/09/2009 09:42:11 PM 758 Views
That sorta sounds like a...er...adult cinematic feature title - 20/09/2009 02:59:51 AM 1352 Views
Perfect for Martin, then. *NM* - 21/09/2009 01:33:45 AM 646 Views

Hmm, so what? - 20/09/2009 05:52:38 PM 1405 Views
It's a bit 'generic fantasy title'...... *NM* - 19/09/2009 09:52:17 PM 780 Views
