The Bonehunters UK Cover - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Hi all.

I saw this posted recently on another forum, the UK cover for Bonehunters.

Here's the link, I don't mind it, although it does seem a little basic, reminds me a bit of the WOT covers.....

He looks more like the kind of covers the US versions have

It's not quite as good as the covers of the previous ones (except for GotM), but it's not too bad either. It hasn't fallen to the lows of the US covers fortunately, but it does look more like a decent cover for a Feist novel than a decent cover for an Erikson novel - it fails completely and portraying any sense of epic scope. The disappointing thing is that the bonehunters is set in Seven Cities, and the covers for the last two set in Seven Cities were amazing.

I agree this isn't as good as the previous 5 covers, but I actually quite like it now... it grows on you

Brys, you've said the 6th volume will be set in the seven cities... so probably it's going to be a direct continuation of the House of Chains? (I'm currently finishing Memories of Ice, so still 2 volumes to go, but I'm curious anyway).

The cover is OK, although pretty standard, nothing especially intriguing. BTW Have all the volumes already been released in the US? I don't think they have, but I may be wrong..

finvarre, its likely that Bonehunters will be a direct continuation from House of Chains, yes. "The Bonehunters" is the name gained by one of the Seven Cities armies during the fourth book...

Only the first two volumes have been released in the US so far, initially, American publishers thought it was too complicated for their audience, but its popularity in Britain, Canada and Australia has changed their mind for them

They're still catching up on releases...
