Yay. I liked Whelan's short review of the book. Can't wait.

If only the Wheel of Time had this kind of art work.

Whelan is amazing.  His covers for Melanie Rawn were awesome.  So were the covers of C.S. Freidmans Crown of Shadows and the covers for Memory Sorrow and Thorn, by Tad Williams.  So many others too.

One thing though.  Don't you think the new cover for Way of Kings looks awful similar to the cover for Destiny's Road?  Just sayin.

In the UK, we are fortunate enough to have decent covers, not the crap the Yanks have or rubbish like this for Way of Kings. The British edition of WoK might well end up with a decent cover as well.

Yea the UK gets all the cool covers that is for sure,I get sad when I see the UK and USA covers posted side by side The UK covers makes the U.S covers bow down and beg for mercy. I am really looking forward to the new series and I heard TOR has signed a deal for 4 books so far. This should be a fun read...
