Only in Generic Fantasy do women suffer from a very specific variety of frostbite: pectus congelationis.

If BAEN has any brains at all, the stalking of Priapus chapter will be profusely illustrated.

This artist has never tried to get bloodstains out of velvet or chiffon. And the author’s agent might have thought about getting whoever wrote this to pick a byline less like a policeman in an Agatha Christie.

She’s going to have trouble stalking anyone with headlights like those.

Why is there a portcullis in a window or door that high off the ground?

I wonder which god she’s stalking. Whoever it is should get a restraining order.

Not only that, but her thumbs are, uh, extra large as well.

@B. Chiclitz
She has thumbs? I’d not noticed…

@Ryan – and why also was it built to remain in a fixed, half-open position?
To keep out taller dragons, maybe?
(I had to look up “portcullis”)

I don’t know about the rest of you girls, but if I was out stalking gods and crawling around on dragon gargoyle architecture (which is inexplicable vis a vis portcullis), I am darn well covering myself in clothing of less bagginess and wearing a really good bra, maybe a nice sports bra? Those devil’s dumplings* swinging around loose like that are definitely going to throw off her trajectory when jumping to/from footholds, and be a good target if she gets in a knife fight. And in full moonlight, they’re not going to be at all stealthy.
But we expect no less from BAEN!!!whateversoundthosemelonsmake
@BC: It’s like thumbs/fingers in AI art!
*Missing tag, along with “cleavage”.

Tv tropes – bifauxnen. BAEN knows what sells.

I am not sure whether the hand at the end of her left sleeve is her hand. It might be part of the gargoyle sculpture she is crouching on and she is merely resting her left stump on it.

Because when I think of Jame the first word that comes to mind is “boobs.”
Perhaps they keep the molten-lead-to-pour-through-the-gargoyle’s-throat equipment behind that portcullis so people don’t steal it. (I don’t know if she opened it coming out or someone messed up).
@fred: it’s actually decreasing my desire to buy, although I have in fact read and enjoyed “God Stalk.” But maybe they’re aiming for a younger (and hornier) audience.
