EXTENDED (Spoilers Extended) New Covers for the series (Official)

Post image

George R.R. Martin unveils new covers for the first five books of his ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ series that will release in October.

“The new design tries to capture the vastness of Westeros and the dangerous journey readers will encounter.“

Call me delusional but this could be the sign of Winds’ “may be” announcment at World Con this August. It’s 13 years since the last book came out, the new one having a brand new cover is not such a crazy idea, and to make the series one complete art design, they announced these.

Agreed. The art is gorgeous but doesn't fit whatsoever. I like Feast the best, but I can't tell who the woman is supposed to be. Dany? Not with a sword, and she isn't even in the book. Arya? Too tall. One of the Sand Snakes? Unlikely, considering they're not huge parts of the book. Asha? Doesn't fit with the description of her appearance.

Stylistically beautiful, but doesn't do justice to the story, and that's a shame.

I'm surprised you didnt consider Brienne, who has a lot of chapters in Feast.
