Ana asked Mark Lawrence:

Hello Mark. First of all, thank you for the work you do. There was a question about the covers of the books but I need to ask, because I currently work with the team who will produce the Prince of Thorns in Georgian language. What kind of covers do you prefer, which cover (original or foreign is your favorite) and how do you feel about artists illustrating the leading characters on the front jackets? Thanks

Mark Lawrence Hi Ana - you're the first foreign publisher out of 25+ to ask!

I like the Jason Chan covers the best, in the dark format.

There have been many covers:

The recent Chinese ones are interesting:

But publishers know their markets and choose art that fits both their budget and the tastes of their readers.

Thanks for asking. I hope the book does well for you. My advice would be NOT to change the title. That never seems to go well.
