Via Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist, I just ran across the US cover for Scott Lynch’s upcoming novel, The Republic of Thieves.

It’s keeping with the style of the US paperback release of The Lies of Locke Lamora, but I’m not really sure if that’s a good thing or not, I was more a fan of the Gollancz editions of the novels. If you ask me, CG Art and Fantasy don’t mix. Ever.
Take a look at the cover for Lynch’s upcoming Novella collection, The Bastards and the Knives for an example of what Gollancz is doing.
I’m more of a fan of the Gollancz artwork as well but I’m all about what between the covers. I found ‘Red Seas’ to be a little flat in places so I’m hoping for better things from ‘Republic of Thieves’…
