Cover Wars: The Heir vs. Crimson Bound

Cover Wars is a weekly showdown of two beautiful covers. The winner, as voted by you, goes on to face a new cover, and wins bragging rights. This is basically a fun way to discuss what we like in covers.

Crimson Bound has once again emerged as the victor. This week it's versing another sequel of one of last years cover war favourites, The Heir by Kiera Cass.



Crimson Bound is so alive with beautiful green trees seemingly sprouting from within the floor and the nice figure of a girl in a red cloak, a great reminder of it's predecessor along with the gorgeous spiral staircase.  The Heir on the other hand, puts all the focus on the dress and the girl. In this one, I'm more interested in the reflection of the girl. The starry glitter adds a nice dreamy element that is really visually appealing. Both are absolutely amazing when it comes to title typography, they are stunning.

What do you think? As always, you have a week to vote.

    1. These two are definitely great examples of consistency in a series. Ever book in these series has been similar yet unique and outstanding on their own. I can't wait to see the covers of the rest of the series.

    1. They are stunning and they definitely appeal to different things. If you like dazzling dresses then The Heirs is for you but if you like the beautiful architecture meshed in with the fairy tale aspect of Crimson Bound then maybe that ones for you. Too bad we can't have them both because I'm in love with both :)
