This is a forum, not a chat room.  Getting a reply within 5 minutes of posting is rare, not the norm.  A few hours is common, and a day or more is far from unheard of.

Oh, and I'd guess most of the forum members here were either still asleep or on their way to school or work when you posted.

That's actually a decent theory that I don't think any of us came up with. >>'  We were all focused on something complex when it could be something super simple. ha ha.

That is a good idea. I still want to find out what that green thing is.

The 1 thing I LOVE about the cover is it tells you that Bastille DOES get her knight back and that makes me very happy.  :D

Not necessarily. Covers aren't always accurate, you know.

True, but Bastille had a sword. That has to count for something?

Case in point: a series of "Anne of Green Gables" editions with covers that depicted Anne wearing various pink dresses.

But the last Alcatraz covers seemed pretty much on the dot with what happened in the first couple chapters. In the first book they had a picture of him the library with a dinosaur in a tweed jacket and one the second they had a picture of him on the Dragonaut. Oh sear, I sound like a crying child in those last sentences.  :D

Well, I can tell you that the cover doesn't cover the first chapter.  Mostly that's just Al making fun of people for not reading the first two books.

im thinking maybe the cover of book 3 is symbolic? It shows Bastille with a sword and she is fighting an alligator, which might symbolize the bigger, stronger country of crystallia fighting with the smedry's and Draulin and Bastille

She's fighting the knight, not the lizard...

Anyone else notice that her head looks too big for that body? Like it was pasted on.

It really does.  And Al's face looks weird.

Yeah! As in the cover for book 2, where Alcatraz was WAY TOO BIG. Apparently the artist who does these covers needs to work on proportions...

Well, how many female knights are there to use for scale, kolo?
And on the cover of book two, it's hard to draw proportions right when you need to draw four? people on/in a giant glass dragon.

Zas, it really isn't . . . and was that an Elantris reference?
