That last image is made of so much win.
Looking at those early covers for the first two Kencyrath books… I’m so happy I found them in the UK collection first ^^, and I can even reconcile myself to the current BAEN incarnation.
And YAY for The Women of Nell Gwynne‘s! I became a Hugo voter just to get that novella in ebook format ^^.
Spider’s Bite is on my to-buy list. It looks really good.
