I've certainly posted more than my share of thoughts on the issue... especially <A HREF="http://deadcities-icon.livejournal.com/14112.html" REL="nofollow">here</A> and <A HREF="http://deadcities-icon.livejournal.com/15081.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>.

I liked the first one in the sense that it had potential, but it was just too dark. I love the autumn leaves and the colors, but there wasn't enough differentiation in the tones to make the image coherent. I had to actually look at the book in the bookstore to see it clearly. The second book cover is illogical. I would think that heterosexual males make up the bulk of the fantasy readers out there...could be wrong...and this looks like a badly drawn romance cover for women. I don't get it.Carl V.
