The View from the Mirror ebooks have just come out in the US with new covers, which will in future be used on other editions as well. Here they are. It’s a nice change, I reckon – I loved the original covers, which were used all over the world, but they came out more than 15 years ago and it’s time for an update.
Especially now that I’m working on the long-awaited sequel…
I love them too, Chris – especially I had a big hand in designing them – but unfortunately covers that have been around a long time lose impact and the books stop selling, whereas new covers encourage new buyers.
Thank you for saying so. I'm hoping that with the relaunch and new covers they'll get a new lease of life, which often happens. I enjoyed the first book of the Wheel of Time very much, butI must say the late ones felt as though they'd been written by a different writer – very little seemed to happen in them.
