Five from Yarnsworld, two from Darkstar—all of them from the same artist, Jenny Zemanek. Say what you will about the content, the realism, the use of color, or even the books themselves; they are certainly distinctive.
Benedict Patrick may have created this beautifully dark series, written the books, and brought the whole thing to life through the power of suggestion and the written word—but it was the artist herself that took this series, this world and really gave it a face. Or six faces, to be exact.
The Darkstar series quite literally stars the stars. Here, both the Dragon and the Whale curl around the star that is the center of their dimension.
If you’ve not read these, I’d heartily recommend—well, half? I’ve read 4 of the 7 that are out, and am eagerly anticipating Return of the Whale Fleet, a book which I adore the cover of. Which are your favorites? And have you read any of this week’s books?
Hope everyone has a good weekend!

I love all of these covers. The first series almost looks like paper art. 😁

I love these! Never heard of the author, nor the covers’ artist, but I just spent a good couple of minutes on her page, worth a look 🙂

I liked it a lot, feels like… a grimmer McKillip, perhaps?

These are all new to me. I agree, the covers are very distinctive, I like them. They have an almost layered 2D quality that gives them a 3D look.
