Here you see three covers for Laini Taylor's fantastic Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I loved this book, because of its magic. I usually don't like the German covers over the original ones, but this time I totally have to go for the German cover. I love everything about it. We've got blue-haired Karou, feathers and a skyline of one of the magical places we are invited to visit. The Slovakian cover is a bit too plain for me and I miss Karou on it! What do you think about the covers? Or do you even prefer the UK cover?
I've always liked the US cover. But the German cover just owns, imo! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd I think German covers are stepping up! I recently saw the German cover for Virtuosity, and wow. I just love it!! It's so pretty! http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13052893-virtuosity-liebe-um-jeden-preis
I'm in the middle of this right now. Love this book so far! The German cover is gorgeous, but the US is a close 2nd to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually usually a fan of German covers for some reason. This one is no exception!
ReplyDeleteum... I still would go with the US though the german is gorgeous...
ReplyDeleteMy favourite one is the UK one - in person is it SO beautiful :D I really like the German cover though... Not seen it before but the feathers are awesome :D
ReplyDeleteI almost always like German covers the most. This time as well. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG, the German Cover totally rocked my socks off, it's beautiful!!! I like the US cover, too (we have it here in Canada, too!) and that's probably what I'll end up getting - unfortunately I don't read in German :P
ReplyDeleteGreat post, keep em coming!
Wow...I actually like all three here. I think any one would make me pick this book up.
ReplyDeleteHer potential love interest isn't introduced until about half way through the book if I remember right (but don't hold me to that, I got done reading this book a couple of days ago and facts flee my mind rather quickly). Akiva notices Karou and is quickly intrigued by her, but also considers her to be the enemy. During their first encounter, they try to kill each other. I mean, really, who doesn't love that? It wouldn't be interesting if it was all sunshine and rainbows from the beginning, would it? I love seeing how the dynamic changes from trying to kill each other, to being attracted to one another.
