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 2243 Views
Almost definitely. 13 towers in the complex. *NM* Werthead - 19/09/2009 01:35:49 AM 961 Views

It's the place in Seanchan where the a'dam was first used. Werthead - 19/09/2009 03:46:46 AM 1641 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 922 Views
Yes, there seem to be quite a few towers in this series, huh? *NM* Fantasy - 20/09/2009 11:16:27 PM 681 Views
A series of towers, one might say. *NM* fionwe1987 - 20/09/2009 11:39:56 PM 665 Views

I agree. This was the 1st thing I thought of when I saw this. Cannoli - 19/09/2009 05:56:50 AM 1449 Views
Doesn't have to be a major arc though Rurouni_Kenshin - 19/09/2009 06:37:55 AM 1279 Views
I can't find the relevant comment from RJ, but... RandAllThor - 19/09/2009 12:40:03 PM 1393 Views
Thanks, I thought I remembered RJ saying as much. *NM* RandAllThor - 19/09/2009 12:25:20 PM 641 Views
But RJ can change his mind right? redhand - 19/09/2009 01:38:54 PM 1256 Views
Of course. It would be nice to know where/when the comment was made. *NM* RandAllThor - 19/09/2009 01:53:35 PM 776 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 653 Views
I think AmoL is one the better titles ever to grace a fantasy novel! Dragonsworn - 19/09/2009 11:46:19 AM 1321 Views
It's a sweet title Fantasy - 20/09/2009 11:17:56 PM 1147 Views

Typical title... Etzel - 19/09/2009 06:03:48 PM 1333 Views
I think "Dance of Lightnings" is way too reminiscent of GRMM *NM* NaClH2O - 19/09/2009 08:26:12 PM 789 Views
He'd probably go with "Lance of Lightning". *NM* TaskmasterJack - 19/09/2009 09:42:11 PM 660 Views
That sorta sounds like a...er...adult cinematic feature title NaClH2O - 20/09/2009 02:59:51 AM 1145 Views
Perfect for Martin, then. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 21/09/2009 01:33:45 AM 558 Views
Well... Etzel - 20/09/2009 11:36:03 AM 1190 Views
But a Crown of Swords came before a Storm of Swords. *NM* fionwe1987 - 20/09/2009 05:35:34 PM 633 Views
Hmm, so what? Etzel - 20/09/2009 05:52:38 PM 1190 Views
It's a bit 'generic fantasy title'...... *NM* MikeyMikeyMikey - 19/09/2009 09:52:17 PM 692 Views
