discussion The "What book are you reading" Thread

Looking at the cover art on those Travis Baldree novels makes me wonder if there's a small cadre of artists who do the majority of fantasy book artwork. They look awfully similar to other fantasy books I've read/seen.

Most authors have zero control over cover artwork. It is pretty messed up.

The artist is Carson Lowmiller. Which I don't see many other books he has done art for. Has done video game artwork as well as some MTG.

Project Hail Mary

I know others have read this before. Took it to read while on vacation. Probably 2/3 through it, and I quite like it so far.

Adrian Tchaikovsky is a machine, he consistently puts out great fantasy and sci-fi.
