I also like the colors much more with the first cover. More magical looking to me.Sotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16696809754397112964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-64589497427208346712012-07-28T19:58:57.448-04:002012-07-28T19:58:57.448-04:00(Ugh, I deleted my original comment because I got ...(Ugh, I deleted my original comment because I got things mixed up).<br /><br />I prefer the new blue cover.

I wouldn't even pick this book up with the model on the cover, it looks way too chincy. I mean...how could a mermaid possibly have THAT much eye make up on? It's just ridiculous. I'll take the new one thank you.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00416898799044848769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-62514536984186568752012-07-28T07:13:25.524-04:002012-07-28T07:13:25.524-04:00The one on the left, the new cover, is my favorite...The one on the left, the new cover, is my favorite. Blue & gold is always a good color combination. The design & composition is great, with the tail framing the title.<br /><br />The photo in the ARC version has beautiful silver tones, but it doesn't work that well as a cover - the title just seems to be floating there, and the font doesn't tie in with the image.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-23617052489628802792012-07-27T09:12:44.547-04:002012-07-27T09:12:44.547-04:00Is there a neither option?

She definitely does look like she could mess you up, which would be rather monstrous of her!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-17537029008880593542012-07-27T08:57:23.814-04:002012-07-27T08:57:23.814-04:00I love the original cover, it's soooo pretty! ...I love the original cover, it's soooo pretty! The new cover is very similar to Of Poseidon, it's just a mermaid on the front!<br /><br />I was all up for reading this book, I even pre ordered, but I cancelled it and won't go near it since the author got on her high horse... shame!Yackershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093075106168246385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-50809260788513483142012-07-27T07:02:37.453-04:002012-07-27T07:02:37.453-04:00Definitely the gray one.
