If I remember correctly they were doing an illustrated version of the book each year and then the series got delayed because they fell out with the orginal illustrator.
So it would make sense that this one would be shit, because even if its not AI errors like this are basic shit to get right, because I believe the dispute was over money.
It’s like illustrated editions are cursed or something…
Bloomsbury was doing gorgeous Harry Potter illustrated editions. They got through 5/7 and the illustrator burned out and stepped down. 😟 In theory they have a replacement and #6 will be out next year.
The Folio Society was doing a fantastic illustrated sets of the original James Bond books, then their artist got caught stealing the work of other artists in their Wizards of the Coast work, that de-railed the final book in the series, but it DID finally come out.
Yeah i am reluctant now unless I know the artist has finished the series. Wish I spent the extra for the folio versions of GoT series as those are at least complete and far nice

Complete for now… Martin is the hang up at this point. 😉
But serious shout out to Folio for doing some of the best books in the business. I’ve spent way too much money with them. LOL.
