If there is one thing that makes a great book even better, it is when it has a cover that we love! The cover design is what catches the eye as we browse through a bookstore shelf or check out the Amazon or Goodreads recommendations. The right cover makes me look closer at a book, to read the blurb and maybe make a purchase. A poor cover might mean I never look at the blurb at all.

This week-Amanda Bouchet
I haven't read the books but I like the colouring of the covers. The girl's face on book 3 is a bit too fake but other than that I like them.
I've always liked these covers as well but now that you mention it, the woman on the third one almost doesn't look the same.
ReplyDeleteHer face just looks a bit kind of vague on the third book.
DeleteI really like the first two covers in this series but the third one just looks wrong to me. I loved the first two books in the series as well and was let down by the third. Maybe there is a connection?
ReplyDeleteThere's just something really fake about her face and it kind of spoils the cover a bit.
DeleteThey sure do pop out at ya. I see what you mean about her face too.
ReplyDeleteThe colours and backgrounds are just. It is weird about the face though!
DeleteI like her facial expression on the first one- she looks fierce- but overall I like the second cover best.
ReplyDeleteThe winter scene makes the second one my favourite too!
DeleteI'm not a big fan of people in covers but I do like covers with female warriors
ReplyDeleteShe's very Amazonian isn't she!
