OH OH OH! Let’s have a half naked man grasping his magic electrified sword around waist height. That sounds suggestive? Of course it is, he’s holding a sword right next to his baby maker. A ha ha ha. Don’t forget to overload the whole cover with text, a lot of text, in all shapes and sizes.

Wow… I mean this really is an embodiment of everything bad.
Good magic tattoo too.

The magic tattoo is pretty cool. And by cool, i clearly mean gay.
There is a disproportionate amount of text on the cover. There is also a disproportionate amount of buff dudes chest. Surely the ladies would like to see more of his face too? And maybe more of his weapon?

I think I could live without more of the face really….or the weapon for that matter.
I am totally blown away but the quote, however,…’fascinating, thrilling and deeply romantic’ and let’s not ignore ‘fabulous world-building and sexy romantic-adventure’…cor, well that’s me sold. Anything with that many adjectives must be good…right..

Atlantis… Is that what you call it?

Its a bit of a strange nickname, perhaps the sequel is a bit more direct but alot less mystical “Meat Truncheon Unleashed”
I have to say, this is one of the worst romantic fantasy covers just because of the overload of information on the cover. Surely all that crap is what the back of the book is for?

As I recall (and I draw on my detailed knowledge of ancient myth in saying this) the problem the fabled city of Atlantis had was that it was leashed. They put a great big leash on it, and that was its, er, doom. So, unleashing it, is, eh, obviously going to, um. Ah.
In sum: pork sword.

It’s got a really big hilt too. It’s a shame someone has sunk his legs.
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:28 pm
It’s because he’s a really big hilt with the ladies. A HA.
Though the erect nipples were one tweak I could have done without.
A HAAARRRRR.

Now come on guys. Obviously when Poseidon wanted warriors he didn’t want any old school boy he wanted a real man. With a shaved stomach…. and no armour… hmmm….
