The Way Of Kings Words Of Radiance Oathbringer Rhythm Of War... 

TWOK-WOR-O-ROW... KOWT. Right? Knights Of Wind and Truth? WRONG!

It has been changed from its original title to Wind and Truth, which I have nothing against as a title... but it BROKE the ketek!!!

I know its a small thing but... it was 14 years coming... I NEEDED that closure...

I'm going to go cry now.

Hahaha! It's super important for authors to express their freewill and ability to change course is all. Plus...acronyms are bad for people's brains. 😋

I still say that『Knights of Holy/Unholy Truth』was a great title.

And it complies with the rules of ketek

Our bit of compensation is I think the in world book will be KOWT so at least we have that.

But....scoot over so I can cry next to you

Considerations:

  • Few fans use "the" - so the "Ketek" could have been WoK|WoR|O|RoW|KoW
  • If the palindromic convention was abandoned, I'd have rathered he return to the Original Szeth Title: Stones Unhallowed
    • Unfortunately he said it wasn't an option because while it fit for Szeth as book 3, it would not fit for Szeth as book 5
  • Either way, we still have the center: WoRORoW
    • Even looks a bit glyph-like in that form

To reduce my brain capacity would be, like a certain Terrisman once said, "Like trying to divide by a null set."

And it might be poetic/symbolic that the symmetry is broken.

I was thinking along this line too 

 

WaT spoilers

Considering the change from parts to days, the chapter headings breaking, etc, it feels purposeful to break the pattern here.
