Follow Friday

Q: Have you ever looked at book’s cover and thought, This is going to horrible? But, was instead pleasantly surprised? Show us the cover and tell us about the book.

Oh, this has happened to me a few times. I guess, though, the one that most struck me was Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, part of the Dragonlance series. It was my first true high fantasy book and I thought the cover was just awful. I was much more than pleasantly surprised. It has become one of my favorite series of all time.
