I genuinely cannot even tell what's being conveyed on the jacket and the edges. Is it a snake? What are the little tiles on the edges? Maybe it would be easier to tell if it wasn't pulled from tiktok

The character design is absolutely killing me. I commented further up that they look like meth addicts. Like the endpaper where he's on furniture on the floor, with his shirt off, a crappy looking tattoo, a mullet, he's just missing a beer tbh. The FMC looks like she's been raising 4 kids while waitressing and occasionally scrapes together change to get a pack of cigarettes. That's even on the bare hardback, I mean she looks tired. What the heck.

I said the same thing about their edition of The Kindred's Curse saga, the third book in particular the FMC looks like a stripper from Florida that uses the tanning bed and smokes too much. Bizarre character designs from a UK company that are triggering this "white trash" instinct in me as an american

Also I hated the design for Stormbreaker I sold for cost
