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.

w00t! It's here it's here!
Now the big question... is this a wine book? If so, red or white? Good German fest bier perhaps.... sigh.... what awful choices I have to make.

Hey: The release of FR has not even made the news page at StephenRDonaldson.com! Should someone tell SRD that his book was released?!?!

Thanks! I didn't include any spoilers. Perhaps I'll edit my review and state that clearly.
Harriet is closing in on 15,000 reviews. We all know that she's not reading the books.

And I need to re-read it now, to catch up with you guys! I have a feeling this is going to be the kind of book that's better the second time through.

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.

...after the frustration of getting ahold of the book, I'm going to be frustrated reading it?
