murphy Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Yeah. The art is a little too busy for my tastes. Still, I have seen worse and West's name makes it a guaranteed buy for me.I've read the book, but I still haven't figured out who that cover picture is supposed to be.Towers of Midnight (eBook) by Robert Jordan and Brandon SandersonI take it that is Perrin? He looks too old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebenstone Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 That may be my favorite book cover of all time...and I'm not a a huge WOT guy.Towers of Midnight (eBook) by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Agreed, that looks fantastic, stunning. Yes the character looks far too old, but that's only a niggle compared the whole of the scene.They should at least reprint the WOT paperbacks with these e-book covers.

Old Nan Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 He's supposed to be a few months away from 22 years old in this scene. With the harsh light... I could buy that, for his face. His body is more developed than you'd normally see in someone that age, but it's not like he's a teenager.The WOT e-book covers as a general rule are pretty good, even measured against something other than Darrell K. Sweet's god-awful baseline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Hat Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I hate the new cover; it's pretty much exactly what I hate about most tie in covers. It's related in as much as there's an actor from the show on it, but there's precious little to suggest anything about A Song of Ice and Fire in that image.

It's related in as much as there's an actor from the show on it, but there's precious little to suggest anything about A Song of Ice and Fire in that image.I imagine it was chosen based upon the brilliant marketing logic of, "Pretty girl on the cover = attracts more teenage male readers = $$$"If I just saw that in a bookstore, though, I'd think it was a light fantasy novel about elves or something. It doesn't represent the grittiness of the actual novel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 It's meant to attract people at the grocery store who've heard of the show, not random Fantasy readers browsing at the bookstore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switchback Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I notice they dropped the "A" from the title. I'd known they were doing that for the show, but surprised to see the novel itself with a name change. Though I really have no feel for how those kinds of decisions are made....

chitman13 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Here's the cover for The Departure, the first novel in Neal Asher's new Owner series due in September. I really can't wait for this one, his short stories set in the Owner universe are among my favourite stories I've read.Also, here are all the new UK covers for David Weber's Safehold series. Not so keen myself, too CGI for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
