ORB, SCEPTRE, THRONE, a MALAZAN novel by Ian Cameron Esslemont

It’s very Steve Stone-y, but should ignite the fires in the hearts of Malazan-fans everywhere. Weird title. I like the colours. Reminds me of a mildly more successful version of Mark Charan Newton’s City of Ruin.

    I kind of enjoy the title, the cover not so much…

    I like the cover, though I’m more interested in the background than in the central character …

    I’ve been a fan of the depth of Steve and Ian’s work since I got into the Malazan series last year. It’s nice to see more material coming out. I agree on the colour combo as well.

    It looks A LOT like the cover to THE CRIPPLED GOD.
