I cannot wait to buy this particular paperback 1 volume edition. It really conveys all the best aspects of the trilogy and its Norse-inspired setting.

I think penguin is always consistent with it's interesting book covers. I wish they did more with them, but they are always a joy to look at.

not a bad cover, represents the content well
>>19413657
>le renaissance painting with text
overdone
>>19413694
Would've been good if it weren't for the fact that the drawing doesn't cover the whole front
>>19413843
Very pretty, super good if it's a vanity cover, if it's an official cover then... it's pretty shit
>>19413968
boring, overdone
>>19413975
Pretty good, but I don't like having quotes on the front. I'll formulate my own thoughts on the book, thank you
>>19413997
Simple, but not bad
>>19414059
The text up top gets drowned out by the art, other than that not bad
>>19414180
Very modern, not my taste

unironically agree, i've never read the book and Ma seems like kind of a juvenile pseud edgelord, but the art on the cover and the font makes for an incredible aesthetic
