Fish-man looks pretty hungry.

I’m sure I’ve seen an act like that in a Las Vega casino.

This artist can really get the stares on people done right. And it reminds me of:

Love it. =D
Looks very similar in design, from the art to the typeface, to the Thieve’s World novels published around the same time.

This is what will happen if you allow women to join the clergy.

It was then that the party got really weird…

I bet you five bucks the fish guy is named Mr. Leech and he’s soon going to yell at Paddington the Bear for something.

“Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl,
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there…”

This conversation ensued. Showgirl-”I want my own seat! I can’t take this anymore!” (Storms out) Fish-Man-”Now wait a second! Come back in here!”

The area those thrones are sitting on looks only about half a foot deep.

Showgirls with freakishly long arms …

Looks like the tagline at the top was written by the same person as the one from Ms Wrede’s last novel.

“WASSUP LADIES?!?”

*peers* I think that’s a fish-lady, actually. Not sure. (Also, I remember looking at this book in our library a zillion times as a kid, and being terribly annoyed that it was not as interesting as the cover made it look! Too much human stuff! Bring on the catgirls and fishladies and let them do interesting things!)

Hmmm. Another Patricia Wrede cover (see April 11th), same awkward syntax of tagline, same cover artist, and …
Different three people, but same setup and color scheme. Instead of a white-clad desert nomad with a dagger in the middle lifting the back of his left hand to us it’s a barely white-clad showgirl with a wand making the same gesture. Instead of a green-clad sword chick on the right it’s a green-clad cat girl. And instead of Mr. Not-Doing-Anything-But-Staring Prince on the left, it’s the Creature from the Black Lagoon in a bedsheet. And instead of a plain brick wall behind them it’s modern church architecture circa. 1965.
