Thanks to Calibandar, who sometimes pops by this blog, for making me aware that Gollancz had put up the cover art for “Blood of Elves” by Andrzej Sapkowski. This is the second book in the series about “Geralt the Witcher”, and it’s due out in September. It’s been one of my most anticipated reads ever since I got a hold of the highly enjoyable mosaic novel, “The Last Wish”, which ended high up on my top picks of 2007.
Looks good, don’t it? No orcs or elves on the fron of this series.
As I understand it though, there’s actually supposed to be a second mosaic novel that should’ve been published before “Blood of Elves”, but Gollancz has obviously decided that two un-genreish tasters for a series were one too much. Makes me a bit sad, really, but hopefully they know what they’re doing.

It’s a superb cover, really tasteful and still denoting it as Fantasy.
