Cover Wars: Mirrored vs. A School for Unusual Girls

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.

Another week of Cover Wars is back. This time it's Alex Flinn's first feature with her upcoming book Mirrored versing our reigning champ, A School for Unusual Girls.


I love the colours that Mirrored features on its cover. The gorgeous ginger hair is nicely contrasted against the blue and misty creek in the background. My favourite, and more of an inconspicuous addition to the cover, is the apple on a vine that is nicely interwoven with the title.

Both covers are exceptional, but it's up to you guys to vote for your favourite!

  1. I'm voting for A School for Unusual Girls for this one :D The cover is just more pleasing to the eyes, and it feels like there's even a color theme going on, which I like. Plus, I'm not really fond of covers that have faces... it''s kind of distracting, and it's not always aesthetically-pleasing. And come on, A School for Unusual Girls' cover already has the mystery thing going on! :D

  2. Me too, A School for Unusual Girls as well. I love the Mirrored cover, but the girl who's actually in the mirror looks really bizarre. They would have been better using a stock image girl who isn't staring out so intently, or she's constipated.

    1. Haha, I love your description. Working with mirrors and reflections sometimes don't work well.
