Aren’t we all unteleported? What makes the mage so interesting? Weird.

If the mage hasn’t teleported, then where the heck is he?

Um… the mage ain’t there. So what happened to him? Maybe the author meant “The UN Teleported Mage” The give him a baby-blue helmet and send him as a Peace Mage to stop magical wars.
I used to always argue on this site that if a simple red cover with words on it was good enough for J.D. Salinger, it should be good enough for a lot of the trash that parades through this site.
I was wrong. At least if this is the result. Maybe it is the silly texture and clouds, but this is a terrible cover.
Bonus: I really dislike any book that has a title with meaningless made up words, or titles that just don’t make sense.
I recently re-read Dune. A book with all kinds of “made up” words and crazy ideas. So, did Frank Herbert think, “The tale of the na-Duke Atreides, Unteleported Kwisatz Haderach” would make a good title?
Maybe. If so, I’m glad the good folks at Chilton (CHILTON!! The automotive repair manual publisher was the only publisher willing to risk publishing Dune!) talked him into going with a title normal folk could understand.
Dune – one word. Actually means something. Actually conjures an appropriate image (or images) in the reader’s mind. What a concept.

I like that image, EricL.
