Two with the same cover art (Whut is up with that?!)

Elantris (Sanderson)

I like this, it's his first novel and I think not as good as Way of Kings although certainly very good. I do like the way he picks a small number of view points to work from, I especially like that one of them is a woman. I shall certainly be reading Mistborn just as soon as I wear away some of this to-read pile I'm wading through :-)

Lifelode (Walton)

This one is slightly strange. And all in the present tense, which makes it slightly strange to read; and in a messy order rather than linear, which is a part of the story. I liked it lots and lots.

And one other

Among Others (Walton)

Ah, a book with lots and lots of SF references; most of which I don't get. Apparently I'm too young. One review seemed to think the main character is impossible objective about her life or some such tosh; but I think it makes a lot of sense and feels very real. Apart from the bits that don't, of course :-p

You might find this article I saw in February, and the links it contains, interesting on the subject of different books with the same cover art.

Interesting.

I think in this case the whole image is almost too perfect to not have been drawn for Elantris, but I read Lifelode first and the small section that is used for its cover is oh-so-close to looking like it could have been drawn for it. Maddening!
