Darrell Sweet understood the assignment: make the journey look older than memory and larger than everyone taking it. The moon fills half the sky, Moiraine rides forward like she already knows how badly this will end, and Lan towers behind her in enough armor to make the black horse look nervous. The details may not match every reader’s mental picture, but that hardly matters. This became one of the defining images of modern epic fantasy, promising hidden bloodlines, ancient evil, long roads, and a world far bigger than the farm boys about to inherit it. Pure bookstore-rack destiny.

Casts Moonlit Departure. Range: one quiet village. Duration: fourteen books.
This is the cover that kept me from ever reading this series. I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but was so over the kind of fantasy that they put DK Sweet in the cover of that I was never going to give it a chance. And the more I heard about WOT the less I was interested!
I definitely remember be struck by this cover. I was torn about it being "too" fantasy-y (which I don't think was fair) and also being a LITTLE curious but not very. In the end, I loved the series lol
