Comments on: Cover of Black Prism leaked! http://www.brentweeks.com/2009/11/cover-of-black-prism-leaked/ Author of the Night Angel trilogy and The Black Prism Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:38:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: mike http://www.brentweeks.com/2009/11/cover-of-black-prism-leaked/comment-page-3/#comment-1591 mike Fri, 26 Nov 2010 10:47:54 +0000 http://www.thewayofshadows.com/?p=450#comment-1591 Honestly i feel like the change in the cover art was a smart move. it brings more thought into what the book could be about. To me a new reader i some times choose books on there cover art. One with a thought out cover to me generally has a pretty good story behind it.

It conveys the story more. And what I suspect is the whits luxin dagger, actually looks white!! In my opinion this cover makes more sense than the one that was published! It conveys the story more.

That would imply being adult and my inner child still rules my body. I came across the fisrt book of the trilogy by chance in a second hand book store and being a fantasy fanatic, loving to read new Authors and conciddering the price was just right i bought it. Let me tell you, i think i fell in love with Brent within the first 50 pages. By the time i finished the book i had already planned an attack on all book stores in and around my area to locate the next 2 books! Paying R156.00 for each of the new books put a pretty big dent in my budget but i'd do it again 1 000 000 000 times! I really look forward to the next book and, slight of saying my life depends on it, i'll settle for I MUST POSSES IT!!!!! (I agree about the colors of the cover ..... everything else is pretty awesome!) I am a 24 year old South African …… well, let’s stick to female ……. i’m too young too be called a woman yet.

I loved the night angel series but the ending was extremely quick and left me feeling like your fatalist.

However I can't say that I ever identified the cover character from the Night Angel series. To me the character illustration looked created by someone that had not read the book,(books) The weapons didn't make sense to me, I didn't know Kylar ran around with a samurai sword. Also if your going to only have one character on the three covers and not hint to the world or other characters, why not show how the character evolves or deteriorates across the covers hinting to me the peril and triumph ahead? And also i'd say fight the good fight! I think the cover is the first opportunity for communication to potential readers, you should be involved with its look, finish, etc, as much as you are with writing the actual books. Just my opinion buddy, I loved your night angel trilogy and will be looking out for whatever you write in the future regardless of the cover!

Your covers are what grabbed my attention and your writing is what kept me coming back for more. As a professional artist, I think this is a start to a wonderful cover that will catch readers eyes; however, I do think the man looks like he is holding the blade a little awkwardly (Although that might be because the blade is going in front of the Best Selling Author. I think it should go behind it.) You may want to darken his face and clothes a little more and perhaps make the bags under his eyes less noticeable. Hello, I love your novels.

Sorry, I forgot to say this last time there.. If you keep this cover, I love the multi-colour thing going on there, but I think the red should be toned down. Maybe add a different colour, or enlarge the purple. Also! Sorry, I forgot to say this last time there..

Okay, while the cover is freakishly amazing, you have to notice one thing! It's a copy of how the Night Angel books were made in their cover! (bad grammar, shh) If you wanna do that, fine. But you should find a way to make that your signature cover. That wasy if somebody sees it, they don't need to check it closely to know you've written in! Is it posible to copyright it? I dunno. But I think if you publish any books outside the Night Angel Trilogy with that cover, you're going to hav to do it all the time. Just a warning. If this book is even half as good as Beyond the Shadows, I will faint after reading it :) Alright man. Okay, while the cover is freakishly amazing, you have to notice one thing!

Well I don't know any better, and you don't really need some snazzy cover to sell a book. Your writing is brilliant, your characters even more so, and I am forever envious. Just doing my part to inflate your ego.
