Also they whitewashed the cover, that's not cool. The Ashawala'i were sort of Amerindianesque. Not blond.

[leathansparrow]

Yeah I was confused by that. I read it and I was like waaaaaait..... isn't Zanja like... well, I get North African/Middle Eastern-ish out of her. Coloring-wise at least. Not sure where they got this blond crap from.

[slipperyliz]

She's dark-skinned and -eyed and -haired. Also the Ashawala'i grow corn and squash! (I caught that on this last reading).

It's probably because I read the book, then looked at the cover, but I did not notice. Or perhaps even though she is pale on this cover, her facial features are not particularly Caucasian.

[slipperyliz]

Other than her skin color, that's a bitchin' color. She's covered in gear and not skin-revealing armor, and she's all business. But too pale.

[know_your_story]

Yeah, I did think the armor was good, at least.

[slipperyliz]

It's so practical! I'm so proud of whoever designed it!

[leathansparrow]

Considering the Earth logic cover? Very proud.

[slipperyliz]

Right? Is Earth Logic's cover not wholly and totally accurate? Karis is all sooty hands and uncombed hair and huge! She's blacksmithing like a boss!
