Ouch, my condolences.

Looks too garish and . . . I don't want to be mean towards the person who did this cover, but it just comes off as pretty amateurish compared to the first two. Definitely lacks the polished look of the others.

On the bright side . . . YAY FOR ANOTHER BOOK FROM CATIE!!!

No, that isn't as good.

If the line is being dropped, will the rights eventually revert? Or are they just not buying any new titles.

Perhaps you need to have the whole of the next trilogy ready at the same time, so you can have one artist doing one thematic style in one go. But do get something a bit more distinctive than the Trudi Canavan 'Black Magician' series:

The rights will eventually revert. I believe it takes about five years. I'd have to look at my contract to be sure, and it also depends on whether they decide to do things like an omnibus edition or something (though that seems unlikely, given that the line's been cancelled).

Ah, but they might do an omnibus if you're hugely famous in a few years' time. :)

I'd prefer they didn't and I got the rights back. :)

Does this book have a kid in it? 'Cause that's what I see on the cover. Very disappointing. :(
