A Thousand Pieces of You managed a clean sweep last week. This weeks it's up against Lori M. Lee's Gates of Threat and Stone.
Both covers have a touch of modern mixed with the rustic and historical. Gates of Thread and Stone is simple but everything about the cover relates to the story. I love the narrow, empty alleyway and the model's outfit. The colours are all dark shades and work fantastically with the typography. It's a very visually appealing cover.
A Thousand Pieces of You mixed the old and the new in it's architecture, it also displays a brighter more vivacious pallet of colours.
I'm one of the few pepole who really doesn't like Gates of Thread and Stone's cover =/ So ATPoY for sure. Loooove that one!
ReplyDeleteDidn't know that was possible :P Haha we completely understand. P.E. and I have quite distinct preferences as well. Also, ATPoY is a stunning choice!

Omg! How can you ask me to pick from the two best books of the year?!?! This is hard *sobbing* lol
ReplyDeleteThis weeks cover wars have made me so excited for these books. It's seems like everyone is really pumped. Sorry for the tough choice, I tried quite hard to find it :)

Gates of Thread and Stone hands down! I loooove that cover! The golden threads look fantastic and I cannot wait to see it in hardback!
ReplyDeleteIt does! Gates of Thread and Stone is what I would describe as a subtle beauty. Love it.
