Healer - Paul R - 01-08-2008
Jut finished reading this again. I first read it about five years ago when I discovered the wonders of buying books over the internet and subsequently overdosed on FPW.
Anyway, I'd forgotten how great it was. I mean, I always liked it, but didn't rate it right up there with my other favourites... until now. Great stuff!
Except for one small detail which is niggling at me. I'm not usually the sort to point at mistakes in books, but this one really should have been seen and changed.
Can you spot it? In case you can't, here's a brief description of our protagonist: snowy white patch of hair, flamestone around the throat and yellow gold skin on his left hand.
I thought it only right that you guys could share in my annoyance as well!

I've not seen that cover before.... yes, it would bug me...

Been bugging me since it first showed up in my mailbox about a year and a half or so ago. Didn't figure it was worth mentioning since it probably can't be changed (and if it can, I'd have to buy the book again =grin=), but I noticed it even before I cracked the cover.

Same thing happened for the Stealth Press edition.
I just say to myself that they incorrectly reversed the photo.

You must have left the approval of the cover to your right hand man. :eek:

The cover is supposed to be The Healer looking at his hand in the mirror.
See, now it works.

The way it's done, it looks like the entire hand and arm have a yellowish tinge -- as well as the background. So to me, it's just the lighting.

LOL! Yes, I like that idea. That's how I'll think of it from now on.
