Why do so many fantasy covers have someone holding a blade and a bow? How are they supposed to draw it? Is it wrong that it is things like this that keeps me up at night? #MiddleEarthProblems
The title makes a bit more sense than her last effort, apparently. Unless ‘Witches with the Enemy’ is a mishearing and it’s really about the early careers of Julie Birchill and Pennie Smith.
The sequel’s going to be called ‘Go Set a Witchman’.
(Seriously, there’s one they don’t mention in the blurb, ‘The Witches in Red’ and the first book is about a girl choosing between two princes. So that’s Chris de Burgh and the Spin Doctors. What 90s MOR hell awaits in this book?)
Looks like one of the boring execrable can’t act her way out of a paper bag badly written why the hell did HBO go to Dorne in the first place any book reader could have told them their revision would be laughable crap Sand Snakes.
Are we sure that is a bow? I don’t see any bowstring. Maybe her pet snake died and is in rigor mortis. Or maybe she is really regretting buying her magic wand from that discount site.

… you need a Pot Witchfinder General?

I’m not prejudiced, honest, but I’m getting a definite witchy vibe from this cover. Don’t know what it is, but there you go.

At first I thought her midriff was really badly photo shopped on… now I see its a belt.

That is one nasty fingernail on her right hand.

@SI: Me, too. Between that, the six different fonts and colours, and the cutesy title, I thought the cover to be GSS worthy.
Try saying ‘Mist-Torn Witches’ or Móndyalítko aloud, it isn’t easy.

What do they have against good cooking? Or good tea, for that matter?
And what kind of bow is she holding? It doesn’t look like it would serve its intended purpose particularly effectively.

How to kettle a witch is a section of the new police training manual.

Well isn’t this a fine kettle of witch.

@ Mel – Not only does she have no bowstring, but I don’t see any arrows, either…
unless you count the ones holding up the title.

Talk about stingy publishers — they wouldn’t even pay for fixing her hair before the photo shoot!
