The cover reminds me a lot of The Apprentice's Quest's cover for some reason :/
In fact all of the new covers look the same</3

To me it looks like it could be good but with only knowing the book will fallow a lion a baboon and an elephant it is too soon to say anything. Here I though it would be about lions souly. Then when I read the bottom under the book cover I relize I was wrong.

Prediction: The elephant and the baboon die in book one, leaving only the lion to perform every heroic task.

I think they do the covers themselves. As for the rip off of Lion King I'm not sure on that.

So just because it features a lion, it's instantly a ripoff of the Lion King?

I guess the lion idea is not all that bad they already have a system of rank like the warriors and Survivors. In the wild male lions do get pushed out op their pride in a new male lion takes over it. the reading bones idea sounds good their are a few cultars that do use bones to read things. Though the baboon part is throwing me.

It looks like a cub on the cover though, I mean it's said it's a male but I don't see any sort of mane growing. I wonder what that's about? Males usually have a name at least starting to grow before being kicked out, right?

I could have been a cub who's father was beaten before he started growing one. I used to watch a show called Big Cats on Animal Planet. In one episode one of the Prides they fallow had a leader change and all the females took the young cubs mainly the males away. If the new male found any young male cubs he will kill them out right.

Pretty sure they'll kill any cub regardless of gender so they can mate with the females faster. After all, I doubt their patient enough to wait for a female cub to grow up, so they just kill them as well to get to the mother.
I'm curious as to how the pride would work in the book. Are they staying true to real lion prides? Are they similar to clans? Do they kill cubs when takeovers happens? Is only one male in the pride? Cats in the wild typically don't go into groups as big as a clan (a smaller, close knit group if anything), and don't stay faithful to one mate. So this book may not be quite like real life. It's possible the lion was cast out younger due to something he did, or an omen. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Yes, I agree but what could a lion so young do that would get him kicked out. In Africa their are so many things that can and will kill lion cubs. Water buffo is one example they will kill young lion cubs if they find them.

Exactly, it would have to be pretty bad if it got him kicked out. Or an omen, like I said before, could've caused that decision. If they stick to real lion behavior then it probably is the case of a takeover and he had to flee to preserve his life.
Just watch though, he'll be older and got kicked out due to age, and the art was just the artist going "Eh, why not? It's cute lol" and there is no reason he looks like a cub XD

Lol that would be funny. It could also make sense since they haven't released any real info on it yet.

it's not a ripoff of the lion king because there's a lion. it's a ripoff because the plot summary is literally a young lion cub getting kicked out of his pride and meeting the bootleg timone and puumba. elephants and warthogs even look super similar, and baboons look like whatever timone is too. somewhat.
