UK Cover and a (semi-exciting) Blurb

[Deadsy 19]

I meant blurb, but it won't let me change the topic title.

Approaching Ebou Dar, Mat Cauthon plans to visit his wife Tuon, now Fortuona, Empress of the Seanchan.

 

 

Sounds familiar

That cover is nice. All the UK covers have a clean, minimalist look.

 

As for the blurb, the only way I will enjoy that scene is if

Mat tells the whole Seanchan court that their Empress is a marath'damane and/or the Seanchan finally confront the notion that all their sul'dam are just marath'damane. I know I've harped on this before, but Seanchan are my least favorite culture, and I really want to see them change their ways, especially since that values conflict has been building since Bk 2.

 

Also, I'm torn on whether I want to see "Suffa" again...

I hope hope hope 'Suffa' comes back and gets a chance for redemption.

I want to see her too but not for that reason

 

There is no redemption for this, imho. Remember that she can't lie:

 

"I can offer great bounty, powerful Empress! If I am returned, I will give you ten women to take my place. Twenty! The most powerful the White Tower has. I-"

I would like to see Elaida again, too. And Rand die. But mostly, at this point, I just want a lot of Moiraine to make up for the smidgen we got in the last book.

I've decided Rand will make her sleep in his bedroom so they're literally never separated again. They'll have separate beds, of course. Thom can sleep outside.

I would second Thom sleeping outside Moiraine's room any day!
