Reblogged this on graveyards and grasslands and commented:Īm currently reading the third book in this series and came across this post about the covers and just had to give my opinions (posted below) check out the post by ‘World of Covers’ It looks as though the UK cover for ‘Wild’ and ‘Destined’ are far too similar though… a sunset orange would be nice!!Īnyway, thanks for your post… this is the first of yours that I have comes across but am intrigued by the concept and am off to click around! I think my favourite from the US covers is ‘Illusions’ and my favourite from the UK covers is ‘Wings’ because of it’s uber holographicness in real life! I love the idea of the US covers and the idea of having beautiful and atmospheric photographs of the petals but I don’t actually like the photographs themselves… I do however LOVE the way the petals of the US ‘Wings’ form the shape of the faerie wings! I have spent quite a while studying the covers for this series (mainly to make sure I ordered the correct books, what with the name changes and all!) and I do think I prefer the UK covers. They really do feel very ‘princess’ and very fairytale which I love.

Having never seen the US covers in the flesh it’s hard to comment, but I would like to say that the UK covers are beautiful… the words are raised and the matt covers are embellished with sparkles and shiny almost holographic parts. I must admit that when I first picked up the book I did consider the covers to have a slightly adolescent feel but I quite like this. I’m from the UK and as I bought the first book with a UK cover I obviously had to complete the set with the same covers.
