Oops. You posted between me starting a post and posting it. Admins: you can remove mine now.


Always a risk with big news!


As to the cover:
I had the same thoughts about the Aes Sedai (the "Two Aes Sedai follow the Dragon Reborn into the mouth of darkness, two women who have been with Rand since the very beginning" was a dead give-away), but I have to disagree with the stance with you. He looks like a martial artist in a B-movie, reading to slice up all the nameless grunts. If it's just a sa'angreal, it feels more logical that you should hold it to your side: it's heavy to hold iit upwards, and it serves no direct purpose to lift it.

Anyway: way cool to see it. I'm getting excited!


Well, if the sword shines enough to give light, that could be a reason to hold it up like that. I don't remember if it does. But either way the hand-grip he's got on it looks weird, no argument there.

What books have you been reading? fionwe1987 - 11/05/2012 01:57:31 AM 2564 Views
Egwene made many things "clear;" I dug up all the ToM quotes for a post near this time last year Joel - 11/05/2012 01:12:05 PM 2379 Views
