For me, the later covers attracted my eye because the lead character seems so much frailer and looked more sinister than your typical fantasy hero.

But then again, typically the female in the fantasy novels tended to wear a lot more clothes than they are shown wearing on the cover. For some reason 14 year old boys tend to like that sort of thing.

If my extensive study of van art and Boris Vallejo paintings has taught me anything, those interests don't stop at fourteen.
