You have no idea how uncomfortable it is to carry arrows around like this...Click for full image

You know what I love about Ireland? All the dwarfs, the mysterious dark riders on horses, the barmaids that insist on carrying a bow and arrow with them, the extreme landscapes and, of course, the rainbows so I know where to find my pot of gold. We should turn that into a cover someday, my boy.

Actually, that cover is a visual feast!I would pick that one up.Neaaa, I\'ve seen worse.Interesting, but I would still take it on a train.It is somewhere in between the awful/good scale.Would not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just Awful...I swear, that\\\'s my flatmates!Gah... my eyes! They are burning!Good Show Sir.... Good Show! (Rating: 6.04 out of 10)

    Silly author.. doesn’t she know it’s spelt Enniskerry!

    Guess it must of been written in times before we could check things on the internet ;-)

    Sometimes being a dwarf just doesnt cut it, you also need to have a peg leg.

    I love the random diamond at the top of the cover, and the wee flowers at the side.

  3. SI Says:

    Wow never noticed the peg leg. Amazing….

  4. Roses Says:

    Why is she carrying her quiver that high up at her front? Talk about inefficient. Especially if she tries to run, her skirt and quiver are going to tangle her up.

    She looks bored.

    The gold border, the diamond in the middle and all that scenery…too much.

    I’m wondering how I never noticed the mountains of Ireland before. Which coast are they on? I never realised Ireland was over a subduction zone!

    (That rainbow is ridiculously low, too. Yes, you get rainbows in waterfall spray, but this one is *to one side* of it. No.)

  6. SI Says:

    One word Nix.. Magic.. who needs an explanation when you have magic :-)

  7. Roses Says:

    You mean someone conjured the mountains in Ireland?

    Si, is that really going to be your final word on the subject? Magic?

    Really?

  8. SI Says:

    Well, I guess it could be some sort of metor impact site… but you know, rainbow, evil castle, snowy mountains. Pretty much all points to magic for me.

    It’s her face that freaks me out. It’s so flat. It looks less like a human face, and more like a lifesize photograph, cut-out, holes drilled in the side and elastic threaded through, worn over the real face. Which in turn makes me wonder what she actually looks like, underneath …

  10. Nix Says:

    What do you mean, ‘she’? The whole body looks flat. This is *it*. (Or perhaps ‘Sidhe’). The Sidhe can project glamours, right? Well, this is what happens when a Sidhe just can’t be bothered.

  11. SI Says:

    “Lets just see just who you really are.”
    “Why its, old man Winters who runs the haunted amusement park.”

    To be fair, she is showing a bit of leg, well.. knee… what a tease…. in fact come to think of it… isn’t her knee freakishly low? Gah, I can’t stop staring.

    How refreshing to see a female giant for a change! Young, erm, giantlings need more empowered female role models to look up to!

  13. Aude Says:

    “Limbo of the Lost” kinda feel anyone ?

    Could swear I’ve seen bits of that cover all over the place…
