Indeed, it still sticks in my craw. |
Yeah, that's why I mentioned it. While I didn't think it was a big deal, I could see where it could be a bigger deal for others. I didn't want magic in my pulp game so for me it was OK. For others though that would see the cover and say "Cool! Magic!" they could be disappointed.
I always try to keep in mind the impression that the books cover and ad-copy give and if the content doesn't back it up it's my job as a reviewer to point it out.
