I swear to god, these covers just get less accurate every time! I feel like there's a character or thirty missing from this scene. I'm only half certain about what's happening here. We've got four characters front and center; Rand in red (I think), Mat in green (I think), Egwene (I think), and... is that… Continue reading The Shadow Rising (By the Cover): Into the Wastes

Is it just me, or do these covers just keep getting sillier? Like, this one is just a straight-up comedy, dudes! Look at this! "Hey guys! Check out this cool thing I just found!" "Whoooooaaaa!"

Guess what I'm reviewing next week. Go on. Guess. You'll never get it. Up until recently, Warbreaker was one of the last gaps in my knowledge of Sanderson's Cosmere. That, and the second Mistborn series (which I'll get to sooner or later... after another Wheel of Time book or two). And now that that gap… Continue reading Warbreaker (By the Cover): Colors! Colors! More Colors!
