I do prefer the old cover. I like girly, elegant covers. I like makeup. That cover would have made me more likely to pick up the book if I saw it in a bookstore.

I'm pretty certain they chose the new cover to appeal to a male audience as well as female, which is a pretty smart move. That being said, I love the trident but LOATHE the font and the background colors. Something about it looks tacky. I would have gone with the trident image but chosen a more simple font and a dark blue background.

Oh, I definitely prefer the original cover. Howev...

Oh, I definitely prefer the original cover. However, I have to say that I think boys will be more likely to pick up the newer cover, so maybe it'll reach a wider audience that way.

Initially, I wasn't a fan of either. The trident one just looks like a typical fantasy cover, and I'd probably overlook it. I also thought there was something weird looking about the cover with the girl on it. For some reason, her bottom lip looks deformed to me! But, after looking at it longer, I noticed somethings that I didn't see at first glance. Some subtle details that now have me curious about the book. Like the silvery white scales on the side of her face. Neat! So, I guess that means my vote goes to the first cover!

I'm not really keen on either! That said, the trident one has better colours in my opinion, but I'm not keen on the font.

Not having read the book, I think the trident cover is more intriguing. I love the title type on the girl's portrait one, but the underwater greens and blues promise an edgier adventure.

I don't care for either one, but would have to...

I don't care for either one, but would have to go with the face if I have to choose. Love this site, by the way!

They're both...weird. I don't hate them but I don't like them either. But if I had to choose - I'd say the face.

I vote for the mysterious face. The trident just screams "bland fantasy" to me.

I don't like either really but agree the first one speaks more to vicious.
