Thanks to Joe Abercrombie<\/a>, we’ve got a look<\/a> at the new cover for Before they are Hanged<\/strong>, the second volume of his First Law Trilogy<\/em>. Similar to the paperback release of The Blade Itself<\/strong><\/a>, this new cover is a definite departure from the original cover<\/a>. That said, I’m a fan of artist Chris McGrath, and don’t mind the figure-centric cover \u2013 it fits the tone of the novel and, though he doesn’t look at all as I pictured him in my head (he’s described as being much uglier, for one, which is the same criticism I had for Logen Ninefingers on the paperback release of The Blade Itself<\/strong>, but it’s nearly impossible for every reader’s image of a character to line up), the image of Glokta with Dagoska burning in the background is certainly compelling.
