Japanese versions part 2, Queen of Attolia

[peggy-2.livejournal.com]

Queen of Attolia is in two volumes.  The two together are a little bigger than the US version of KoA.

QoA, Volume 1:



detail from the front cover (her dress is really a Ruby Red with green sleeves):



detail from back cover (note how the stylized Greek warriors are superimposed over the image of the Dystopia):



The haunting vellum image



and the wonderful Table of Contents:



Note how "the golden bee" is a pin, not earrings

and 

QoA, volume 2

The cover:



and because they are so wonderful, a close up of the front cover, with her Frozen Mask:



and the back cover image of her dagger:



The vellum (note how it is the same shadow-hand as volume 1 ...


but this time it is hovering over the image of Attolia dancing the harvest dance in the garden.  [side note - this is the scene which makes me think of the Cars song, Touch and Go - Gen falling in love with an unreachable "star"].

Finally, the Table of Contents:



the dagger, the shackle, the messenger pouch, and (you may need to zoom) the bee earrings in the upper right corner    *hearts the chapter icons*

Wow. These are the closest images so far to what I always see in my head while I read the books. I find it interesting that it took a foreign artist to do this.

I've fangirled these covers since I first ran across them on some internet site. It was the Icing On The Cake Made Of Awesome to find the inside of the books rivaled the outside for beauty.
