Happy New Year, all. It is official—I have begun working on A Memory of Light , fourteenth and final book of The Wheel of Time.
I have updated the progress bars on my website with this year’s tasks. I’ll try to be better about keeping them current.
The first step is to re-read the entire Wheel of Time. Towers of Midnight had some small continuity errors—mostly me forgetting who knows what.
We fixed them for the paperback, but it is a sign that I’m starting to forget details. That means I need to re-read Mr. Jordan’s work.
I fully expect this re-read to take until April. I need to divide my time among reading, outlining, and studying the notes.
By the way, I did get a Nook for my birthday. So I’m in the process of getting e-copies of the WoT uploaded.
Since people are asking, the continuity errors were things like Grady telling Perrin about the Cleansing as if for the first time, but…
…there’s a line in Knife of Dreams where Perrin notes that they’d mentioned it to him. We don’t see the conversation, but it’s there in narrative.
Need a devout reader of the Wheel of Time to watch over what you are writing so they can be like: “He died in book five.” “oh.”
The thing is, I had eight of those for Towers of Midnight . They all missed these too. It was the time crunch that did it to us, I think.
No biggie, but did you fix for ebook by chance?
Yes, it should be all fixed for the ebook.
Also the fact that Min’s viewings aren’t always around Aes Sedai when they are supposed to be.
I’m working on the assumption (as she’s said before) that she doesn’t always pay attention to them, as there’s so many of them.
Is there a list somewhere of the continuity changes made for the Towers of Midnight paperback?
Not yet. Many things fans pointed out weren’t actually errors, but the Theoryland thread caught most of the things we changed.
