There Really is Something…Very Exciting About A New Cover!
And as well as the overall ‘effect’, including the drama of that line of fire through the shield, it’s also good to see that very nice quote from SF Site getting the front cover limelight.
It’s very difficult, after all, to be anything but enthusiastic about:
“Helen Lowe’s Wall of Night series has the potential to become a classic right up there with the likes of George RR Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire.” ~ SF Site
w00t, in fact! 😉
The other quotes used for the US cover include:
On the back:
A Gemmell Award-Winning Series
“A richly told tale of strange magic,
dark treachery, and conflicting loyalties,
set in a well-realized world.”
Robin Hobb, on The Heir of Night
And on the inside front:
“This is an author with
a gift for fantasy.”
Nebula Award-winning author
Catherine Asaro
plus:
“[Lowe] reinvigorates
the epic fantasy
with appealing
characters and a
richly detailed world.”
Library Journal
All very nice — & of course, thank you very much for the vote of confidence!
Oh, this is interesting! A departure in style from the others. Very cool.
It “is” a new look—& believe the re-release covers for HEIR & GATHERING will be in synch.
