My favorite of hers (though this latest I read, Ombria in Shadow, rivals it now) was the Od Magic one, with it's ____ Quarter...forget what it was called. Oh, and the library underworld of Alphabet of Thorn was great.
So a simple subgenre of romantic fantasy cover (which in tone would be right, but thematically all wrong) can't cover it. I can go for a book that the same artist covered. I read Chasing Vermeer because of Brett Helquist's art, familiar from Series of Unfortunate Events. Sometimes publishers do a really good job with that--Helquist also did The Floating Island's interior art (the cover, he didn't do, was bleh) and I loved that one, too.
