- Well I would have liked to have seen Parkinson do the cover for DoF, since
- I think he is one of the better artists in his genre. Unlike Larry Elmore
- who is just mediocre and prolific.
-
- Sounds like the UK cover is cooler, if it is Parkinson who actually did
- it. Too bad American's got shafted with well, poor cover art.
-
- Sure I should not judge a book by its cover, but I do not like the DoF
- cover and find little interesting, intruiging or exciting.
-
- Well as for the insides....it seems Dave is up to his usual writing style.
- While good and fun its nothing terribly special, anymore. Which is too
- bad because he is a good writer, just apparently a "one trick pony" in the
- fantasy realm.
