I've made it a point to read all of her books (I'm not there yet, but I own them all!) and I didn't even know her final book was going to be published. I'm so sad that this will be the last of her writing the world sees, but I hope that Ursula completed it true to Diana's vision. (I agree, by the way. The UK cover is WAY better. The US cover doesn't even look like Diana's style.) <br /><br />C.J. <br /><a href="http://www.sarcasmandlemons.com" rel="nofollow">Sarcasm & Lemons</a> <br />C.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03239098373565351135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-56567596362581171942013-11-20T11:40:51.582-05:002013-11-20T11:40:51.582-05:00I haven't read any of these books, but I know ...I haven't read any of these books, but I know they are popular in my library.

No one could world-build like DWJ. <br /><br />The British cover does have more of a Jones feel to it.<br /><br />I think I'm looking forward to this one with a bit of trepidation. <br /><br />Sage Blackwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847897945969895906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-48607012822409422862013-11-20T09:42:41.108-05:002013-11-20T09:42:41.108-05:00Ah, I'm looking forward to this one today, too...Ah, I'm looking forward to this one today, too. I hadn't seen the UK cover, but I too like it more. I think the UK has done a better job overall with DWJ - the US covers can be truly terrible. *shudders*Ceceliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249223364936344560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-1489355472548642492013-11-20T09:36:06.782-05:002013-11-20T09:36:06.782-05:00I'd also note that the US cover only has a gir...I'd also note that the US cover only has a girl, and the UK has a group of three people, presumably boys and girls.Livianiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479932701589363306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-62420829900797720512013-11-20T08:21:41.973-05:002013-11-20T08:21:41.973-05:00I'm quite a bit sad about this book.

But this one really, really is the absolute last one and there won't be any more after it, and that breaks my heart.<br /><br />(I agree with you about the covers.
