Hello guys and welcome to Cover Wars where
covers battle it out and ask you which one is the best face for the story they
hold inside. Last week we had Fosaken by Lisa M. Stasse a dystopian world where
everyone with a tendency for extreme violence is sent to an island of criminals
where escape is just a dream one can’t even aspire too. You guys voted and you
picked your favorite and it is….
The U.K. Cover
It seems you guys have something for a girl
with a bow or maybe you like your covers a little on the fierce side. Now that
the winner of last week’s cover wars has had it’s 3 lines of glory (my lame
attempt to translate 5 minutes of glory into something that you read :P) let’s
move on to the next battle but before the contestants can come forward let’s
take a look at Carrie Ryan’s Forest of Hands and Teeth book blurb.
In Mary's world there are simple truths. The
Sisterhood always knows best. The Guardians will protect and serve. The
Unconsecrated will never relent. And you must always mind the fence that
surrounds the village; the fence that protects the village from the Forest of
Hands and Teeth. But, slowly, Mary’s truths are failing her.
She’s learning things she never wanted to know
about the Sisterhood and its secrets, and the Guardians and their power, and
about the Unconsecrated and their relentlessness.
When the fence is breached and her world is
thrown into chaos, she must choose between her village and her future—between
the one she loves and the one who loves her. And she must face the truth about
the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Could there be life outside a world surrounded
in so much death?
Now that you know a little about the world of
the Forest of Hands and Teeth let’s take a look at our contestants, shall we?
The first cover not only seems to be the first
cover for Forest of Hands and Teeth but it’s been used in international
editions, the lone girl standing in the midst of the terrible forest she now
has no cover from.
The second cover has also been used in an
international editions, if you must know it’s been used in the German edition;
this is the cover I knew first and the one that intrigues me the most. The
cover that makes you hesitate between the idea of the girl that is hiding from
the forest or the girl that is trying to catch a glimpse before jumping in.
The third cover may be the a tad simpler
looking that the other two but it is also a cover that has been used in other
editions such as the French edition of this book, I am sure the design is
important in some way to the story but sadly I can’t tell you what I don’t know
but if you are a fan of this series and know a spoiler free explication please let
us know.
This book has more faces but this are the ones
that have been used in American and international versions, if you guys would
like a cover wars edition with the still unseen versions (unseen here
obviously) please let me know.
And don’t forget to let all of us know what
your favorite contestant is, be it by a comment, a vote on the poll, via
twitter (@ForgetAboutTV) or even tumblr, I’ll be waiting to see what you have
to say.
I only knew of the two covers with the girl, it's so funny how they market different looks globally, and sometimes like in this one I like the Germany one the most
ReplyDeleteMe too, there is just something in it that makes me hands itchy with book grabiness
ReplyDeleteNow I am not sure if I voted for the " Lonely Girl" one because it was new to me and fresh or because I like it better!! So hard to choose sometimes!
ReplyDeletelol maybe it's a little bit of both the freshness and the fact that it's more your taste?
ReplyDeleteThank you for voting
