Let's see... it's been decades since I last read Flandry, and I may be
remembering only A Knight of Ghosts And Shadows, but...

What's good: I like the nudity, it's an *adult* book, and I'm friggin' sick of
this coy crap to placate the prudish.  And her tit is *not* bigger than her
head, a pleasure to me in this day and age.

What's wrong: lessee,
    1) I can't see him holding a sword, and having her arm around him like that
    2) her tit's misplaced - it *might* work if she was lying down, but that's
       a lousy perspective for it
    3) I don't remember Flandry having a lightsaber.
    4) Flandry does *not* look like a young Frank Zappa; Sean Connery, *maybe*
    5) pierced navels just don't cut it for the story
    6) the sword belt's hanging *very* oddly

*sigh*
