Hey now saving throw vs marketing is like 15 on two six siders, they cheat. I like all the titles, and I may be a bit prejudice because I like Sethra's character a lot. So to me naming the books after her propper name and not her referenced title doesn't really do any harm if for no other reason than the first book somone reads from Steve happens to be 'Sethra Lavode'(and that spurns some intrigue like who is this sethra and why does she have a book named after her?!) Marketers have jobs becuase they help make a product sell better if they didn't they'd be out of a job.
