CLARITY is Kim Harrington's YA debut novel. I read it last year and really liked the story. Clare, the protagonist, has a special gift to see things others can't. That ability and her strong relationship to her brother, now prime suspect, get her involved in a thrilling as mysterious murder case.
I don't really have to think about which cover I like best, it was decided from the start. The French cover is a bit too graphic and simple for my taste and the German cover looks just creepy to me, like something dark and impalpable.
The US cover is my absolute favourite, because the cover model looks just like I would have pictured Clare. I like the washed-out feel of its colors, the light reflexes in her face, the birds in the background and the maritime feel of the setting.
Which do you like best?

| New US paperback cover & UK cover |
definitely like the us covers!! they are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe original US cover is the cutest - I love it!!! I'm not happy with the new cover model - she seems too old for me...
ReplyDeleteI have never ever ever liked the US covers...for some reason they BUG ME TO PIECES. I have noooo idea why. Sad huh? :( BUT. I loooove the French cover. Maybe because I'm obsessed with French culture and art and style, but yeah. Definitely the preferred cover.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice this week! :D

For me, too, I prefer the US version! It gives a "light" feeling so much, and it seems like there's even wind, and... Just lovely! <3
ReplyDeleteYeah, the others don't really do it for me.
I like the new US version the best. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, bit I really like the french one. Don't know why.
ReplyDeleteThe US cover is a clear winner! It looks all bright and white and pure and just...pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteThe original US cover is my favourite. The model on the new US covers doesn't match how I see Clare, but the original cover model was so how I saw Clare! I like the UK cover too.
ReplyDeleteThe action moves along at a quick pace, which was good, but it also meant that there wasn't much time for in-depth character interactions. There was a good setup, though, so hopefully in future books the secondary characters will be given room to grow. The end isn't a cliffhanger, but does leave enough questions for the next one to solve. I'll be checking that one out.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the original US cover. I'm irked they changed it. She no longer looks quirky.
