Josiah Jubilee said...: Dude this is by far the best cover art for the last year. It is amazing the way the colors are realized, and the knights are amazing as well.

The only thing that comes close in my opinion is the Servant of a Dark God cover, or maybe Warbreaker's cover. Seriously this cover turns me on . . . LoL; 12:01 AM

Dan Smyth said...: I agree that the front cover itself didn't do very much for me, but you HAVE to see the entire print to really appreciate it (it's a wrap-around). Check it out on Tor's website. Looks sooooooo much better than what this front cover portrays.; 11:44 AM
