Given that I saw Sweet's covers when I was 14, and desperate for something that allowed me to delve into any fantasy (thanks to Tolkien), I'm not sure that I'm the best "critic" of them. But I'm looking at the cover of The Power That Preserves right now - the whole book itself glowing radioactive green, all of them on the "promontory" of the Colossus, dead Elena with the Staff, Covenant on his knees, Foamfollower locked in captivity to dead Elena's Foul induced madness, his muscles SURGING, screaming to break free...
I'm not a fan of Sweet, but that was a GREAT cover.

What's interesting, to me at least, is that I was extremely frustrated with Fatal Revenant for quite a while, and didn't entirely overcome it until I finished the book. I'll be interested to see what this re-read does for it.

After about chapter 5 or 6 of Part One, I called Fist and said "By God, SRD had better start answering some of these damn riddles soon or I'm gonna be mad as hell!" Or something like that. Anyways, yeah Burgs, I was frustrated for about the first 1/3 of the book also.

where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.
