Tower of Dawn cover musings...
My box is flooded with Q's for my thoughts on this cover. Here they are. Short and sweet. [Ahem] It looks like an owl/parakeet/hawk/eagle thingy. Chaol is from Anniel—a people known for their guardian warriors. And yes Chaol carried around/threw away his eagle pommel sword when he chose loyalty to Dorian over the king. It could be the pommel. I still think the ruby in Damaris is a maybe witch mirror which has nothing to do with this cover other than if this is a sword pommel then all the emphasis on swords in this series is probably not a coincidence. Last thought: We still don't know if the creepy owl that sometimes follows Maeve around is a person or not. Was it @sparkleywonderful who thought it was her "dead" sister? (And before you all start to post that the owl is Maeve's shift form, go back and reread. It chills in the room with her in HoF and it's never clear when it flies off if it's Maeve in a shift form or the owl that chills with her.)
