I’m a huge fan of Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson series, and although I don’t love how much skin the covers have Mercy showing, I otherwise very much like the covers, since Mercy is typically shown being a mechanic or doing some other activity.<\/p>\n

\"Night-Broken\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Orbit just released the cover of the next Mercy Thompson book<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Silence-Fallen\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I. Hate. This. Cover.<\/p>\n

If I were coming across this series for the first time, I would most likely not give this book a second glance.<\/p>\n

This cover tells me nothing about the book, and the model doesn’t look at all like Mercy. Mercy doesn’t have fancy hair. Mercy is usually covered in either grease or blood.<\/p>\n

I have no idea why they shifted from an artist’s rendition to this photograph thing, but I do not like it.<\/p>\n

No sir, don’t like it at all.<\/p>\n

I also despite BOTH the title font and the author font. They’re fussy and unappealing and also do not suit Mercy.<\/p>\n

To whom it may concern at Orbit: Please go back to the original style of the covers. This is simply not appealing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
