La caída de los reyes

[ellenkushner]

The Spanish edition of THE FALL OF THE KINGS is out from Bibliopolis (Madrid), with another glorious cover by Alejandro Terán, the artist who did A punta de espada & El privilegio de la espada (click on images for larger ones).

I can't wait to see all 3 of them together when we get to Spain next week for Semana Negra!

And, yes, my publisher has apologized for the non-canonical sword in the KINGS figure's hands . . . but for some reason, it doesn't bother me. It's a perfect illo, and very sexy, too! It Just Works. I guess because it conveys the spirit of the novel so well. I mean, I know technically it should be a BOOK in his hand - but how would that look? Not as good, for sure. (Though someone with photoshop and too much time on her hands is welcome to try....)

How beautiful!
I gave away my copy of Privilege of the Sword to a friend so she could read it. Must pick up another copy!

Absolutely gorgeous. Makes me wish I could read Spanish so I could have those editions.

*happy!gasp* Ooooh, me likey! >3 Although...that's not Theron, is it? Does Basil have tattoos? o.o?

...that sword is so utterly innapropriate, yet it Belongs. >D! I could sling some very blatant innuendo at the boys right there, but won't. Muha.

*mad applause*

The artist did a great job with the tattoos, though I doubt Theron had them on his hands as well...it would cause too many questions at the university.

The spanish translations sound wonderful, but I have to say that "Swordspoint" just rolls off the tongue with a flourish that the spanish title lacks.
