Towers of Midnight phade Send a noteboard - 23/03/2010 11:32:20 AM
I would have to say that this title is a touch drab.

You do be naming this not for another well known but for who do be the greatest of all time.

I speculate that this will in the end be a reference to shayol ghul or some other structure(s) in the blight. My reasoning is simple. We begin book 12 with a gathering storm in the blight with clouds of the deepest black streaked with silver as described by Renald Fanwar. These clouds are not in seanchan, they are in the blight and as indicated, but not stated, attempting to move southward. I suspect these towers of midnight will be found there. after all, who is to say that all of these towers are to be found in seanchan to begin with....

Does "Towers of Midnight" refer to the Seanchan fortress? - 19/09/2009 01:24:56 AM 2469 Views

It's the place in Seanchan where the a'dam was first used. - 19/09/2009 03:46:46 AM 1831 Views

Of course. It would be nice to know where/when the comment was made. *NM* - 19/09/2009 01:53:35 PM 846 Views
I think AmoL is one the better titles ever to grace a fantasy novel! - 19/09/2009 11:46:19 AM 1478 Views

I think "Dance of Lightnings" is way too reminiscent of GRMM *NM* - 19/09/2009 08:26:12 PM 866 Views
He'd probably go with "Lance of Lightning". *NM* - 19/09/2009 09:42:11 PM 733 Views
That sorta sounds like a...er...adult cinematic feature title - 20/09/2009 02:59:51 AM 1299 Views
