Oh I do like those last few titles, I didn’t think you needed to change the title until I saw those, verrry nice!
I see everybody’s already noted the symbolic and plot-relevant angle for titles but another thing you might consider is looking up on Amazon your niche genre and get as niche-y and niche-y can be and look at the pattern for how the titles sound there. Like @sparrowhawke observed every YA seems to be named “the BLANK of BLANK and BLANK” and that may be to market? Just look at what the best-sellers are entitled and tweek some if you want.
Also SMOKE CIRCLET PLEASE DO SMOKE CIRCLET IT SOUNDS WAY COOLER THAN SMOKE CROWN!!!!! Or at least…it looks way cooler XDD …a slightly more abstract noun I feel like I’ve heard “crown” everywhere but “circlet” have a bit of freshness to it.
And like @obrian-of-the-surface-world pointed out, give a “unity title” too, like some book series I love reading is the Inkheart Trilogy (Inkheart, Inkspell, Inkdeath) and the Land of Elyon books (Dark Hills Divide, Beyond the Valley of Thorns etc) and the Inheritance Cycle (Eragon, Eldest, Brazinger, Inheritance) but they have individual titles but with unity and now that I’m talking about this I’m itching to change my titles AGAIN!!!
Right now the running titles individual titles are: Antihero (no look, the word is gorgeous and dramatic it’s fiery red and hint of blue cos ‘hero’ is blue and…nevermind XDD), Ash, Reprisal, Firebird. It’s got the dark hero edge and fire-themed symbolism so that’s…that. Maybe I should call the series the Burn-Soul, Burnheart (the word burn looks really epic too XDD) Cycle, Chronicles, Saga…Or maybe the Edge of Fire, or Soul-Tip Phoenix, Fireborn Saga, Storm-Soul, or the Soulfire Series…now I’m thinking outloud…Dang now I wanna change my titles!!!
(Maybe it doesn’t need to be one word, maybe it’s…Cold-Blooded Blaze, Line of Consent, Hero’s Crime…sounds too much like a modern psychological thriller, mine’s a YA high fantasy, psychological thriller…Crackling Blood, Edge of Fire still goot, Wingtip Blaze, Burn-Fade…heh, I’ll see myself out now 😁)
