I totally disagree, Darryl K. Sweet's covers have always been the definitive Wheel of Time covers for me. Maybe that's just cause those were the first ones I read. Eye of the World and the Great Hunt were by far my favourite covers in the series. Obviously there's loads of things wrong with his artworks, but I think they just add a better feeling to the books for me. Can't stand the bland UK covers. Then again that's mostly because I love traditional fantasy illustrations. The eBook versions are alright, but I don't really like the differences in style of the different artists. All a matter of preference I guess.
Why are the US covers so awful?
