As usual I think the UK one has better art. It is in line with the previous 6 books (with the framed picture), so it will look nice with them.

Here in Australia we got the UK version, that probably influenced me in deciding it looks better.

The UK one again. The US one looks a bit too cartoonish.

I'm afraind the UK one wins by a mile.

I like the UK one better, but the difference in quality isn't nearly as big as with Lifeship traders.

I prefer the US version, mainly because I love Youll's artwork. He has done great art for both Hobb and GRR Martin.

Glad to see Bantam is following the 'style' of the UK covers with the columns/frame.

I prefer the UK one. And its a fair test, too, cos i didn't realise which was which til i'd already decided which i preferred!

They are both good, but I like the UK version better.
