Actually, I'm not sure. Le provided that picture, but I absolutely agree that it's really good! I particularly like the scenery in the background, it definitely says "Norway" to me. The ships and and the Vikings are good too. The artist hasn't gotten nearly as many things wrong as you usually see in Viking paintings!

Nice book you're working on there!
Regarding your book cover: I'm an Illustration student and I'd like to offer some constructive criticism. The font is okay, but It's too simple. It has a quite modern feel to it, which of course doesn't fit the theme at all. Also, the yellow glow completely removes any connection between the title and the cover art. It looks like the whole thing was just pasted on, there is no sense of relation. The glow is a very modern thing, it's an interfering aspect.
This is just my opionion, you're free to ignore it of course. Keep up the good work!

Thanx!
Constructive criticism is always welcome, of course. As Le said in his post, that version of the cover is just a prototype. We'll keep your advice in mind when working out the final version.

thanks for all the comments everyone. Yes, there is some issue with the font, which is still to be decided. The book is not expected to be released until the Fall or Winter, so we have plenty of time to work out the details, including font.
There is also some formatting issues and other things... normal stuff for post production. Not to worry folks. Keep your eyes pierced.
