Hmmm....that looks familiar
Ran across this the other day, I couldn't help but thinking I've seen something like it somewhere before...
Then it occurred to me. Oh, yeah. This is where ;-)
Just thought that was interesting. The "double crossed" swords symbol also looked remarkably similar to the icon used for Theft of Swords.

That does look uncomfortably similar. If I saw that in the store I would think it was yours until I saw the authors name.
Uh oh..."uncomfortably similar" indeed.
Well, the author voted for The Crown Tower (best Fantasy in the Semifinal Round of the 2013 Goodreads Choice Awards). A fan of yours obviously ;)
Similar, yes. But the artwork in yours is far superior--full of movement and mystery. The "pretender" artwork is static and lifeless. Just my 2 cents, of course. ;-)
Yeah, I'd be grabbing it off the shelf thinking it was one of yours. Now I have to go look at the book :)Michael Whelan cover art will have me picking up a book I know I don't like, just because I love his artwork.
At least it's not a hooded assassin on the cover.

Michael Whelan - does indeed have a great following. I loved Way of Kings illustration.

And it looks like book 2 in that series should have been out last year and isn't. As much as I hate the wait for your First Empire series, at least I have the comfort of knowing that I will get to read the entire series and not get stuck partway through never knowing how it all ends.
