That’s the least rampant lioness I’ve ever seen.

CRIMSON RAMPANT

That is some major sunburn.

And I have to say, the image on the previous Best of All Possible Wars would surely better suit a title like Lioness Rampant.

@Smith: true. So, the best of all wars is one that takes place in front of the kiddies, in a cave underneath a castle? I’ve heard worse ideas…

I thought “What’s Macaulay Culkin doing on the cover of that book?”

THE COWARDLY LIONESS RAMPANT

Admit it, this is the Bizarro World edition, right?

If covers were songs this would be a Celine Dion Barry Manilow duet of “You Light Up My Life”.

As long as artists keep on doing it, I’ll keep on saying it:
Behind you!!!

Saddest thing is, I think that’s supposed to be a short-haired woman…

PHOTOSHOP RAMPANT

I think Phil has a point. Maybe there should be a Behind you! tag.

This was actually one of my favourite books ever as a child. The woman in the foreground and the wizard are twins who switched places as children so she could become a knight, while he went away in her place to a lady’s finishing school that also trained boys as magicians.

its supposed to be a woman. I love this series but this is the worst cover of it I’ve seen by far.

Lets take an exciting book about a (very active) Lady Knight (who didn’t wear her hair short) and make it look extremely boring. Oh, and lets make her wizard brother look like a total idiot with a stupid hat that wizards in their world DON’T WEAR.

I wish the cover artist had actually made the girl, who I assume is the lioness, rampant.
Then again, it seems the artist seems to have only changed the background of a photo taken at an entrance to a costume party.

You have to watch Game of Thrones to see her getting rampant.

This is an awesome book. Clearly whoever designed the cover didn’t actually read it, given as how the cover model is clearly a blonde boy, rather than a red-haired woman.
And no self-respecting mage (or indeed mage in general) in Tortall would ever be caught dead in such a stupid hat.
