Were it slightly more legible, this might be something suitable to go on the inside of a fantasy novel. I’ve seen a lot of fantasy novels with maps on the inside as a bit of flavour before the novel, but never one on the front. As a recommendation, the illustrator might try to draw an actual sorcerer with a crystal staff, which might look more fitting for the genre.
Also, it seems a bit odd that the map is drawn with an edge, but the writing that appears to belong on the map is surrounding it as well as on it.

Protip: Nowhere, outside of bad fantasy, is a map labeled “Map”.

Shame the sorcerer didn’t use the crystal staff to conjure some decent art for the cover.

Are we seriously making fun of the work of 13-year-olds now?

Never mind.

This seems an apt place to mention there’s a new Maradonia book coming out in August.

I think this is the Israel-Palestine “Road Map to Peace” that the Bush Administration was preaching 20 years ago. At least somebody found a use for it.

Someone really badly wants to be J. R. R. Tolkien.
