Don't get me wrong, Soth is Vader, I totally get the comparison. But I remember when this book came out and the cover instantly grabbed me. It came down to mood. And you don't need to know Soth to see a creepy knight in a helmet and get what it is going for. But for me why this works is the knight is portrayed in a sinister light, the composition really evokes a classic horror vibe, and I think the focus on one central figure in the image of this cover and the others, gives them all a little more heft (not saying all covers need to be that way, I've commissioned covers myself with multiple characters, but having several figures is often more risky for this sort of mood (especially if they come off with an attitude that doesn't fit the tone). Everything about Knight of the Black Rose fits the tone of the setting</p></blockquote><p></p>
