I want to re-buy these books with these covers, and this rarely happens to me! But these are so pretty! I love the minimalist design and the colors and the symbolism. ![]() ![]() ![]() To be honest, I’ve always loved random girls on covers because I like to picture my own characters, thank you very much.īut now… LOOK at this re-design. These ones look so generic and weird (who shoves flowers in their faces like this?), plus the model looks like she can only make one facial expression: “I’m going to seduce you with my slightly separated lips and my bedroom eyes,” which doesn’t even make sense because love is outlawed in this trilogy. At least the original cover stood out from the crowd. But I like it much better than the “random girl on the cover” syndrome we have been exposed to with the most recent cover redesign.īoy, did I hate these.

Then you’ve got the recovering soul who starts off bad but will become (mostly) good over the course of his journey.
