...it's likely to be the fastest-pased battle we've seen in WoT yet for a battle of its scope, assuming Egwene really only does get four or five chapters in the book. I also think that chapter count would leave little room for things that in my view need to happen after that battle and before TG, if the first does end before the second, like her confrontation with Rand and Rand's breaking the seals. In short, I think the entire battle of TV would be very hard if not impossible to squeeze into ToM. It might be, though, that we will see it start but not end in TGS; I wouldn't put it passed Sanderson to end TGS on a TV-related cliffhanger.


Rand's actual campaign against the Seanchan in PoD was also told in a few chapters (after it was build up to this point for some time, of course).

Besides that, the battle at TV certainly wouldn't solely told from Egwene's PoV, e.g. also Gawyn, Bryne, other AS or Seanchan could contribute.

Finally, BS is just writing ToM and even stated that he tossed a section, because it didn't work in a way that he thought it could. Therefore I wouldn't believe that everything will be written in the way he indicated before, i.e. there might be more Egwene chapters, if it won't work otherwise in BS' view.

He "fantasys" them up a bit- I think that aspect will be ok, at least - 08/10/2009 05:31:07 AM 816 Views

Sorry, Sidious, but someone else's name has been 'chosen' - 10/10/2009 03:33:25 AM 820 Views
Yes, because the Younglings will not exist after that battle? *NM* - 08/10/2009 11:17:31 AM 371 Views

There are sometimes interesting tidbits to be found, though. - 10/10/2009 10:02:44 AM 656 Views
