Well, at least its better than the previous ones. Actually, I quite like this cover. It's nearing the quality of the originals. Maybe for House of Chains they'll manage to not have a token warrior woman on the cover... Nonethelass, and improvment on their attempts for GotM and DhG

Looks okay, but vast improvements could have been made.

What is that supposed to be? Rejected cover art from Uncanny X-Men? I'd swear that's Wolverine and Jane Grey.

WHOA! someone just posted this cover art a few days ago on another forum. Apparently the dude with the swords is Grendel, which makes sense. It's OK but I much prefer the UK coverart!!

LOL! You mean Gruntle, I felt the jacketart could have used more darkness and gloom for the siege of Capustan (which is more the best rendered battles I've ever read in fantasy literature). Maybe even include Buke, Bachelian, and Broach somewheres on it too *wink*.

Exactly, hehehe. Haven't given Steven Erikson a recent re-read which equates to a brain aneurysm. Hahaha! Seriously, this is rich and complex fantasy full of some serious drama *sniff,sniff* and action.

Well it's always nice to see another Erikson fan on the boards!

Signing off till next time, take care..

Same sentiments here, take care in return!

It's a pretty poor cover I think, but then we've come to expect that from the American Malazan covers. It conveys absolutely nothing of the sense of the book, again making it seem more like a Salvatore book than an Erikson. They're putting a lot of people off the series with these kinds of covers - it was better than the other two (the artist read the book? Or was at least told who two of the main characters were this time), but still nothing like as good as the UK covers (and I think the UK Memories of Ice cover is one of the two worst UK covers).

The Uk cover is better

 

[Rosemary]

The British cover is much better. I just hope he doesn't decide to change the style of his cover art midway through the series!

The u.k covers do look better but GotM cover doesnt make sense to me!!
Who's the dude with the lightning sword?

Anomander Rake with his cool sword Dragnipur outside the city of Pale.....

 

[Rane Longfox]

Yup, tis Rake Its not actually a scene from the book, but when has that ever stopped cover artists?

Yes you're right Cal, it's really more a conglomeration or pastiche of images from the book.

So what are you still doing up Night Owl?
