Yesterday, Tor.com<\/a> hosted one of their ongoing #TorChat<\/a> twitter conversations, and invited Brandon Sanderson, co-author of A Memory of Light<\/em>, the final volume of Robert Jordan’s long-running Wheel of Time<\/em> series, to answer fan questions. And, well, it being Sanderson and<\/em> Wheel of time<\/em>, the questions were endless. And spoiler-filled. Egads, by the end of the chat, my virgin ears were stuffed full of more spoilers for A Memory of Light<\/em> than I cared for. They were popping up on my twitter feed left and right. Ah well.<\/p>\n

To save those of you still waiting to read the book from unwanted spoilers, I’ll hide them behind the jump.<\/p>\n

For those who couldn’t make the live twitter chat, Tor.com created a summary of Sanderson’s answers, which ranged in subject from Boa’s pre-A Memory of Light<\/em> adventures, where Wheel of Time<\/em> fits into his Cosmere universe, the identity of Nakomi, and why he’s just as puzzled about Rand’s lit pipe as you are.<\/p>\n

Some highlights include:<\/p>\n

\nRand\u2019s bond with Min, Elayne, and Nynaeve transferred with Rand when he took possession of Moridin\u2019s body, although Brandon didn\u2019t know how or why.<\/p>\n

Cadsuane does end up being the next Amyrlin.<\/p>\n

Some things, like the characters that Demandred kills, were supposed to be abrupt to convey the emotion of sudden loss and because often that\u2019s the way things are in war.<\/p>\n

Not everything that Min foresaw was supposed to be significant in the series, according to Jordan\u2019s notes.<\/p>\n

Verin\u2019s Black Ajah identity was the most shocking revelation that Brandon learned while going through Jordan\u2019s notes on the series.<\/p>\n

Jordan left some notes on how Callandor was initially created.<\/p>\n

Taim was recruited by the Forsaken, so his becoming a Darkfriend happened after the Forsaken were freed from the Bore.<\/p>\n

What does Brandon see if he imagines Rand five years from now? \u201cI see him happy.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But, these are just a small portion of all the questions answered by Sanderson. If you’ve finished the book, and are interested in learning more about some of the aspects that were left vague\/untouched-upon in the novel, Tor.com<\/a> has you covered. Fascinating stuff, all around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
