The final US cover art:

That is, even by Sweet's standards, totally fecking awful.

Dear God that is absolute shite

Poor American chums, I feel for you.

Looks like Rand has just farted a hole in the house and is celebrating by doing an N-SYNC dance routine.

I reckon any of the artists in the Maz art forum could do a better job, seriously.

Well at least I won't have to look at it

Behold! Rand's increased control of the True Source allows him to shoot balefire out of his ass. Rock on!

Why do they have to make it so bad? Seriously.

the first thing i thought when i saw it was "Welcome! To Medieval Times!!!"

I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

How the hell could they take a shit cover, and then make the damn thing look even worse????

Even his "good" hand looks fucked up in that picture. US WoT covers are unrelenting fuckups.

Don't fuck with the Culture.

Seriously, though, by now I wouldn't have the WoT covers any other way. We've had 11 awful covers, and it would mess with my need to have things in a collection stay similar to one another to have the WoT covers all of a sudden become amazing works of art.

What the hell is wrong with his hand in that picture? And his arm, for that matter...? In fact, it looks like all his proportions are out of whack. It's like Sweet just gave up and got his dog to paint it or something. Truly appalling.

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

Absolutely terrible. I don't feel like rereading the past couple of pages, but has a release date been finalized? If so I need to start reading the books again and getting caught up.

I still heart Goodkind.

Should be in Nov. I think.

Its funny, on Rober Jordans facebook fan site, all they talk about is how awesome the cover is. More great stuff from Sweet.

Maybe i just dont get it.

With all due respect, the cover is awful. An atrocity towards WoT.
Hope they don't put it on leather bound copy.

As with all the Limited edition WoT books the Cover art will be inside the book.

Holy shit! Chris W back on the forums, isn't that one of the Seven signs of the Aptocalypse?

I thought he'd left after that thread mocking Jordans death!

Also that cover is shite, even for WoT.

In case you didn't know, Little Pony. Chris W started this thing we love. He's one of our founding fathers.

He abandoned the forum when the scary mob got too scary for him.
