  • A Crown of Swords (By the Cover): Alone in the Darkness

    I was expecting a bit of goofy fun today. That’s what I look for in a Wheel of Time cover. Unfortunately, I was disappointed this time around. Now, I wouldn’t say it’s an awful cover. But of the Wheel of Time covers so far, it is definitely among the weakest. There isn’t a whole lot…
