I can’t help but notice a slight change in tone the covers of book one and book three. Did they really decide that by book three they would have already got the interest of everyone wanting to read a story of colonial atrocities and instead focus on the “looking for sexy lady butts” crowds?

For some reason this makes me worry about the integrity of their storytelling and the level of respect they’ll be giving the weighty matter of the Conquistador invasion of the Aztec Empire.

Left is the original French cover, right is the English localization.

We’ve talked before about how the only people who really understand localization decisions are the people who make them, but this one does make me genuinely curious if someone told them “If you have a sexy lady on the cover, you need a dude with no shirt or else they’ll say its sexist”.

I know it wasn’t they realized the outfit was ridiculous, because six months later they released this cover.
