Pre-release City of Dragons (spoilers Farseer, LST, TM and RWC)

['thul]

So far as these beings can see, the character by the doors is more or less human. At least it has brown/black hair and a human skin tone.

As for the door... Unless the second door panel (the right one) is made of stone, there is only half the door present. If it is open, as evidence indicates, then it would be visible, yet there is a clear stone block pattern to the wall where it should have been.

These beings do truly like the way the dragons are drawn, even if they did not quite imagine Heeby that way. They are anatomically realistic, with a wingspan sufficient to keep such large creatures in the air.

The way the buildings look also supports the idea that the city is long abandoned. Aged building stone, leaves and soil matter on the ground, a feeling of near-emptiness.

Is this truly for once a cover artist that has actually read the preceding books? (optimistic)
Or is it merely RH giving the artist detailed specifications? (somewhat pessimistic)
