The US cover in colour.

Oh, well done, Jussi!
It almost seems strange after seeing the black and white version for so long!
EDIT: As I am helping out Mervi as moderator of the forums only, I can't actually do anything about adding items to the news page so this, or any other updated info, will not be seen there anywhere until Mervi is able to come on and add it all.

Sure does seems strange. I'm not sure if I like it better in colour or in black and white. The yin-yang symbol is black and white, so...

Sorry, I don't get all the Tweet and Twitter stuff
so I may not credit this correctly but here's a pic doing the rounds from The Voyager of The Inheritance all boxed up. As you will notice, it appears that the barcode moved from the spine onto the 'back' or the ML side...I am sure that that will make many of you very happy!!

I just read the Twitter alert re Cat's Meat!
I was hoping...

Finished reading the book today. I know, took me way longer than expected, but "real" life is still trying to be a bit overwhelming for me. Somedays I just have to give it a side-eye and declare that this is the day for some fine hobbling No Matter What. Anyway, if you want to read my thoughts, the review is here - no huge spoilers but some plot details (character names, themes etc) are revealed.
RE: The Inheritance (short story collection) - Farseer - Mar-21-2011
WOW Mervi...what a FANTASTIC review!!
I especially loved this intro:
Quote:I'm a big fan of the author, and would gladly read even grocery lists written by her - so don't expect unbiased opinions.
Good stuff!!
In fact, I should write that before every one of my posts here...!! My copy is on its way...I got notification from the TBD today! *squeals!*

Hmm...possibly the colours are representative of two firmly-connected Farseer characters, who also have a connection to the return of "balance"?
RE: The Inheritance (short story collection) - Mervi - Mar-21-2011
What, they've started posting them? That means I need to put in my order NOW too. (What, did you think that one copy of this book would be enough for me?!
No, my UK Firsts collection needs to be complete! 
)Yeah, I thought a fair warning would be in order since I'm incapable of comparing Robin's books to other fantasy/anthologies etc etc, and a lot of people review books with those things in mind.
I think you guys are going to LOVE [[Cat's Meat]]. It gives a new and thought-provoking* pov to the Wit magic.
*I use that word too much, but I'm a sucker for that stuff.

No doubt about it, being the only RH work I haven't read, it will be the FIRST thing I turn to, especially after the hints!! I'm thinking it's rather ridiculous that someone could be this excited over a book release but...there you have it....*congo voice* I am so excite-ed, I am so excite-ed...
...bring on thought-provoking!
