This cover image was released while I was away at Comic Con, but I thought I’d better post it despite it being on several blogs already.
I always enjoy a good cover. This one is almost there for me. Usually Robin Hobb’s UK covers kick the US covers butt, the UK done by artist John Howe. This year the UK took a different route though and it is easy for me to post that I prefer the US cover for Dragon Keeper.
That said, it still needs a bit of work. The artwork is okay but the fonts and the colors used in those fonts should be revisited. I know, I know, they match what has come before but that is not always a good thing.
The yellow used in that cover deadens what could be a very good presentation.
For me.
What do you think?
