It's a pretty poor cover I think, but then we've come to expect that from the American Malazan covers. It conveys absolutely nothing of the sense of the book, again making it seem more like a Salvatore book than an Erikson. They're putting a lot of people off the series with these kinds of covers - it was better than the other two (the artist read the book? Or was at least told who two of the main characters were this time), but still nothing like as good as the UK covers (and I think the UK Memories of Ice cover is one of the two worst UK covers).
