+Wax he/him Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 Anyone wonder why the sun is so big in the cover? Made me wonder if she's visiting Ashyn... Assuming it is Roshar, I give up. It's a very non-revealing cover. She's not wearing any regal dresses, so I am assuming she hasn't reached any Alethi lands...

Maybe to give an Eastern/Asian feel to the cover?

Kered he/him Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 I think it's okay. I think it's Jasnah. I personally feel that the US cover is more visually stimulating than the UK one. I think the US one tells more of a story. But, the UK version does kinda make Jasnah look like a boss.
Oversleep Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Which one is the true cover? The one on the left was taken from post on Brandon's site, the one on the right from TOR article. There are some color differences, I advise opening both of them in new tabs and switching between them. Edited July 19, 2017 by Oversleep
Carcinios he/him Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 As with all the UK/US cover differences I have a preference for abstract over detailed covers. This is really just because I like to give my imagination full freedom to interpret what I'm reading. That said I think the US covers are artistically much more pleasing than the UK ones. 1
Guest Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 I personally prefer the UK cover. I like the art and how the character was drawn much better.
+Wax he/him Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 I'll take the US cover thanks. I like the detail, and the physical drawing of Jasnah looks a bit unrealistic in the UK cover. 1
Aminar Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 I have to say I really dig the detail around the safehand. That's some topnotch indication of how desperate her situation is. Has me hyped for Jasnah's story in this next book.

I agree that it's probably Jasnah, but I certainly did not imagine her with bangs. About her safehand, it does say in the epilogue of WoR that she had "sewn herself a glove out of something improvised" but also that her clothing was in tatters and her face burned. Based on that, she's probably not going to care much of her glove gets ripped. Of course, she could have Elsecalled or somehow traveled somewhere where safehands are often uncovered.
Djarskublar he/him Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 I think the 'claws' aren't part of her cloak either. The cloak stops where her leg begins. It looks like a rip in her leggings, maybe with some blood on them. I personally prefer the US cover, but I think both could have been better. At least somewhat.
adrainsmith Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 I have a collection of cover reveal. You can view at FANdemonium Network at free of cost.
Velvet Thunder he/him Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 Looks like a great deal of smoke. It's doubtful but I would love it to have something to do with the Dustbringers/Releasers. I need to know more about them, and there is something we haven't learned about them that makes them even more unique than other orders supposedly.
