Interview #860: Goodreads Interview with Brandon Sanderson, Entry #5

Goodreads

Many plot points are in motion at the end of the next-to-last book in the series, Towers of Midnight . Can you set the stage? What can readers expect in the final book, A Memory of Light ?

Brandon Sanderson

A little bit of spoilers here: One of the big things we got going on is Rand and Egwene on opposite sides of the big decision regarding what needs to happen with the last battle. It’s a power struggle that has been brewing for a long time behind the scenes. Some may not have noticed it until I brought it to the forefront in the last book. We’ve just had a main character who has been gone for a long, long time show up again in the end of Towers of Midnight , and there are ramifications for that. Can we work together? How do we work together?—that’s going to be one of the themes.

And, of course, this is the last battle, which means there’s a lot of war in this book. And that’s actually very different for a Wheel of Time book. There have been big battles before, but not ones that span half of the book or more.
