Hi!
I had new artwork created for the upcoming boxset, and wanted you to see it first. I have a feeling this cover might not be popular with everyone. I've had to remind myself that bookcovers are marketing, and are only meant to reflect the spirit of the story.
I hated this growing up. I wanted the scenes on the covers of the books I read to be part of the story. And for the Divine Apostasy covers so far (and in the future) I've done this. But for the boxset, I wanted to do something a little different.
The problem is, three books in (almost four for you) you've constructed a picture of Ruwen and everyone else in your head. Now, seeing a depiction of him on the cover facing you will certainly not be what you pictured. My daughter hates it. Other details are wrong as well. There is plenty to nit-pick.
But, for someone who has ignored the previous covers, and therefore hasn't had a chance to meet the characters we love, this cover may get them to try the series. We shall see.
I am really interested in what you think. I bet there will be strong opinions.
Anyway, I'm trying something new. And there are some really cool elements on the cover I love. I hope you find something to love as well.
Thank you as always for supporting this series. It means the world to me.
AFK
