This round is solely for the Wicked Lovely series.

US-UK
I honestly don't know which to choose. On one hand I like how in the US one they are focusing on the flower (flower, right?) that is in her hands. I like the ice and the color. I also like the font ans design. But on the UK one they also have amazing design with the font. Not only that but they have this faerie mood to their cover. When I look at it the word Illusion comes to mind. Agggh it's very close for me, but I think I'm going to give this one to the US. Because if I am going through the YA section at borders the US one looks more YA and professionally made... But I sure love that UK one too... A tie perhaps?

This one for me was fairly easy to choose. I choose US. After you read the book you realize how the cover goes perfectly with the story, in fact, even before you read the story the cover is setting the mood, which is dark and kind of dreamy. Love the font and designs on both of them though, but not I don't quite understand the wolf on the UK one, then again it may be that Ive read this book so long ago that I don't even remember the connection.
Well I tried, but I couldn't find anything on Fragile Eternity or Radiant Shadow. Too bad really.
Your choice, I want to hear. Comment, you shall.
Ohman, I SO prefer the US covers. It's weird, but the UK covers don't appeal to me at all.
ReplyDeleteI like the US versions, mainly because they have less going on. They're not crowded like the UK versions. But, that's just my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI've only read Wicked Lovely. I absolutely hated it. With that said, I prefer the UK cover for the book. One of the reasons I hated the book was because I felt misled by the US cover. The US cover has more of a straight fantasy feel, while the UK cover is more contemporary or urban fantasy... which is what the story actually is.
ReplyDeleteNow, if I'm going purely by aesthetics, I prefer both US covers.
US FTW. Totally.
ReplyDeleteBoth sets of covers are attractive in their own way. I too prefer the US covers because I think they are better representations of the story. But I would not hesitate to buy the books after seeing the UK covers either.
ReplyDeleteI like the US cover better, less crowded ! I posted about the French cover of Wicked Lovely in one of my French Fridays, you can check it out here (bottom of the post)if you want. The French cover is weird. US wins again for me !
ReplyDeleteUS for sure!! They're much simpler and prettier.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit confused by this one! I'm in the UK but I've never seen those UK covers anywhere - my books have the US cover & that is the only one I've seen in all my local bookshops. It makes me wonder if the covers you think are from the UK are actually from somewhere else?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, to answer the question I much prefer the ones you have marked as the US covers :o)
US for me too! I think the covers are prettier! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the font on the UK covers, swirlies just add something to anything :) ♥Parajunkee
ReplyDeleteI love the US covers better for both. BTW, for the US cover slot of wicked lovely, the shadowland cover from the immortal series shows.
ReplyDeleteI like the U.S. covers for both books. The bluish purple just evokes the tone of the novels. The orange and green more colorful British ones do not fit the books as well. I do like the swirls around the titles on the U.K covers though.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your choices, especially the one for ink exchange!
ReplyDeleteI like the UK cover for Wicked Lovely but find the US cover for Ink Exchange better then the UK cover. :)
ReplyDeleteI love both the US and UK covers, they are both gorgeous in their own way but the US tends to be my fav. Still, I wouldn't mind having UK copies ;).
ReplyDeleteOn the UK Ink Exchange cover I do believe the "wolf" is actually Gabriel, the Leader of the Hunt, who is a hound, you can see his tattoos. Perhaps he is watching over Leslie? Like the one scene where she climbed out of her window and he was there?
As for not finding UK versions of Fragile Eternity and Radiant Shadows there aren't any :(, for some reasons the publishers decided to use the US covers for the UK books too. It makes no sense to me because then the cover won't go together and I wanted to see what the UK versions would have liked for the other two books.
Definitely US. I read the first book and even found myself looking the cover - that dark violet just seemed to fit the theme of the book so well. I haven't read the second book yet.
ReplyDelete:)
Yeah, I'm often a big fan of the UK covers of books I love. But in this case it's US covers all the way for me. Especially INK EXCHANGE. Love Leslie and love that cover.
ReplyDeleteHm, I prefer the US ones :)
ReplyDeleteUS covers! They go with the stories o.o
ReplyDeleteUS for sure! I don't like the UK ones at all!
ReplyDeleteI do like the US covers but maybe it's because I'm so used to them and the UK ones are so different. I like the UK ones - design and look - but maybe for another book series.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
