So just in case, you guys haven't seen it, this is the cover:

And don't get me wrong - it's pretty amazing - but am I the only one who thinks that Sophie looks

And don't get me wrong - it's pretty amazing - but am I the only one who thinks that Sophie looks... well not like Sophie? If you look closely you can see it. I'm not sure what it is but she kinda looks weird.

It's still amazing. The goblin throwing star thingie looks super cool. My favourite is still Exile though.

I was really hoping Marella was going to be on this because we haven't seen her yet but Wylie is really good too. 

Also, can we talk about the fact that Dex has only been on ONE cover and Tam's been on TWO?!? I mean I love Tam but he was just introduced in Neverseen while Dex has been here from the beginning and he's only been on one. I just realized that Tam has been on the same amount of covers as Fitz.

The fact that Sophie is using a throwing star is probably part of the training mentioned in the blurb.

So this is what Shannon said about it on her Instagram:

"Here it is—the *incredible* cover for FLASHBACK! 🎉🤩✨👏🌟❣️💙 I swear, I get goosebumps every time I look at it. Seriously. Seeing my little girl looking so grown-up and fierce and flinging deadly weapons—not to mention her outfit. And Tam's bangs. And WYLIE. AHHHHH! Jason Chan totally outdid himself once again. I hope you love it as much as I do! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I know there's always intense debate about who you guys are hoping to see on the cover—and believe me, I'm right there with you. I wish I could see all the characters every time—but like I'm always trying to remind you: covers are chosen for the scene. We have to pick a moment that captures the feel of the story, and if there's one image that sums up this book to me, it's my brave, fearless girl standing up and fighting while Tam and Wylie do something super cool in the background with shadow and light (and no, I can't tell you what's happening! You know I never give spoilers 🤐.)"

The thing that Wylie and Tam are doing in the background definitely looks like they're opening a portal using their powers to me. Idk where it goes though. Maybe Atlantis?

Anyways, what do you guys think about the cover?
