So, the first shot at a cover for Steven Erikson’s upcoming science fiction novel, Willfull Child, was a bit of a whiff. This new one is… better, at least?
While better than the last cover I saw true it’s still a very blah cover. Not as bad as a Baen cover but I would have loved to see someone like Stephen Martinaire do the cover.
So they blew up the bottom of the cover, and cut out the smirking guy with the blaster? I guess it’s better? I’m still surprised that’s the cover Erikson gets.
Yes, its better, clearly.
Better, yes. More than a little uninspired though …
