So my wife picked up one of my copies (yes, I have several, doesn't everybody?) of Saladin Ahmed's Throne of the Crescent Moon (see review here) and summarized the plot, based on the cover, as follows:
It's about a hot-but-scrappy-looking teenage girl and her boyfriend who are with a old man who has delusions of being Moses.
Um, no. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis does have a serious point about covers telling a coherent story that ties into the novel.
To be fair, she's not the only one who has made the Moses comment. Even I made the Moses comment, some months ago (when I first saw the cover).
