fans are also the ones who put money in Tor's pockets, so I think that gives us the right to voice our opinion. And just because a business is entitled to milk a franchise for all its worth, it doesn't mean they should.

This doesn't feel like a Wheel of Time cover. I'm wondering who is responsible for these cover decisions. If its the same person who kept allowing Sweet to produce the covers, they should be fired. Still though it IS better than Sweet's works.. Though to be honest, I'm not sure how they could've been WORSE.

I'm a bit, discouraged to hear the release date being pushed back, but, if its being pushed back to make the book better,I don't really have a problem. If its being pushed back because Tor wants to put out another Wheel of Time project before the last book, shame on them. I have to say the only Wheel products im interested in after AMOL, would be Jordan's notes and outriggers. I think that Tor releasing trade paperbacks with new art is a joke, as i don't think Tor EVER cared how those covers looked. Also, from looking at this thread, whats up with all the corporate stooge types defending Tor and their greed? Tor owes US, NOT the other way around. We put the money in their pockets. Ive heard a few people mention they didn't have to put this book out after Jordan died. Well, yes they did have to release it, as the company would be nothing without the Wheel. Had they not released it, something tells me, you'd have a boycott of their other products. Something also tells me, that even if Harriet HADN'T wanted to release the book, Tor would've done so anyway. There is no reason for a Wheel fan to have allegiance to Tor. Because this book was destined to be published if not by Tor, than someone. And for all I know, another publisher may have done a better job than Tor(after all it WAS Tor who let Daryl Sweet get away with crappy cover after crappy cover.. the very same ones, they want to re-do on the trades)
