Greetings -
Just for information, some of the booksellers now are taking pre-orders for ACtV. I placed mine two days ago. In conjunction with that, a full-sized image of the book dust cover also is now on the Web. I do hope that Mr. Weber is pleased with the artwork, because it features a very large upper-half version of Honor, with the best detail of her face and form that I have seen yet in canon material.
She's quite beautiful, exactly as I pictured her in my mind from the descriptions. Even if she does look reservedly ... annoyed, she still is gorgeous. How she ever could have thought of herself as being homely, I never will understand. Although I suppose that most women will want to hasten to tell me that they also have felt that way at some time in their lives, that only seems to me to bear out Mr. Weber's genius in his character descriptions and development.
