REQUIEM by Lauren Oliver has been
released March 5th 2013 in the US. Two months later and we
already have eight different covers to choose from.
The US cover continued the DELIRIUM
cover redesign with its flowers and leaves in the background and a
girl's face in its center. The cover looks nice on my shelf together
with PANDEMONIUM in orange and DELIRIUM in blueish green, but is the
least appealing out of the three featured covers above.
The Czech cover is modelled on the
original DELIRIUM cover (not the first ARC cover) which I really
liked (see it on the left side). It's just the grey color that looks
a bit too drab and still.
„Freiheit“ which means freedom ist
written all over the German cover. Original idea and definitely my
favourite detail of the cover. I'm not sure about the girl's
expression on the cover. Closed eyes could equal various states of
emotion, to be withdraw, concentrated or resigned. The US cover model
however with eyes wide open stands for an offensive character or
a strong will to fight and appears way more active.
And here are some other covers. Left to
right: UK, Swedish, Polish, French, Russian. The UK cover had been
one of my favourites from the moment of its reveal, because I love
the color sceme and it represents my feel about REQUIEM best.
Tell me, which cover do you like best?
Love seeing all the different covers!
ReplyDeleteThe UK covers for this series are my faves (although they changed them quite a bit before they settled on a set of covers!) I quite like the Polish cover too - hadn't seen it before now. :)
Ooh I like the Swedish one! I liked the original North American one, too, that's the one I own... wish they had stayed with that instead of the weird flowers and faces.
ReplyDeleteOhh, I like the second one :D Thank you for sharing sweetie. <3 Won't ever read the book, but I do love looking at pretty covers :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my blog. <3

I was a little disappointed when they changed the covers. I wish they keeped those which were modelled on the original one in France but they didn't :/
ReplyDeleteIt's not that they are unattractive but I find them less original than the first...
Anyway the bests are the UK's :)
