The cover of The Girl Who Looked Up, a picture book by Brandon Sanderson.
Feb 13, 2026
The Girl Who Looked Up asks what happens when someone dares to question what they've always been told. It's a story about walls, and what it costs to cross them. Over the next four weeks, we'll be exploring the other stories in Hoid's Storybook Collection the same way.
Darrel K. Sweet's original Eye of the World cover is included in the end papers of the Dragonsteel Leatherbound Edition

Dragonsteel has pulled out all the stops for The Eye of the World. The genuine Italian leather is striking in bright red, with exquisite pressing and gilding layered with symbolism from the Wheel of Time. The endpapers show off the original cover art, contrasting the red and gold exterior with the familiar midnight blue of Darrel K. Sweet’s 1990 epic fantasy painting.

Brandon Sanderson and The Eye of the World

BRANDON: Why should you read the Wheel of Time? Well, the Wheel of Time is excellently written. Robert Jordan’s mastery of prose is unparalleled in writing. I think he’s one of the best with viewpoint and with just descriptions that we have.The Wheel of Time feels kind of luxurious in its writing compared to a lot of contemporary sci-fi/fantasy. There’s just a feel to them that I really like that you might enjoy as well.

Dinniman presented on the last day of Nexus, a raucous celebration of Carl and Donut’s adventures and the very last panel of the convention. Maude Garrett hosted and drew together an onslaught of content and questions for Matt to confront. Matt brought backup, though. The audiobook narrator with a thousand voices, Jeff Hays, joined him on stage.
