The Ways of Mages

It’s like every single design option was decided the wrong way.

This is what happens when two uninformed authors say, “And then, we should add this!”

OH.MY.GOD. ‘We’ve got some space left. Why not add a cat? People love cats, no?’

And wolfie. And a headless torso (though they tried to hide her face, I still see it.)

Some floating eyes would really set this off.

And of course it’s the first book in a series. There are never just one of these things…

That dragon looks really pissed about the girl and the cat photo bombing.

Shall I eat them plain or with ketchup?

The dragon is deformed and out of focus – at least to my old eyes. And the cat is just a cat, doing his thing and photobombing the hell out of this cover, with no relation at all to the rest of the image.

Also, I love how the rule left of the word “The” is yellow, and the others are grey/white.

I must be getting tired because when first scrolling down, I didn’t notice the lady’s face. What I DID notice: where the top of her dress strap falls on her arm; a veiled Muslim woman hand puppet dressed in white. God, my eyes must be weakening.

Why is the photobombing cat my favourite part of this cover? What has this site turned me into???!
