Yes, I think the cover is pretty, but that's it, just pretty. It's not as different and significant as Anna or Lola's, you know? Specially Lola's because the girl in the purple hair? She rocked. Hard. And now this cover is just plain compared to the other two... so yeah, I'm upset.
And to make matters worse they redesigned Anna and Lola's cover so they can match this one now. Why would they do that?! I mean... seriously?! Again? I hate when publishers change the covers of the final book -or final companion, in this case- in a series. I care about matching covers, and I want my books to looks as pretty as they should be.
So, once again, I'm upset. And just so you can see what I mean here are the new covers:
I'm going to miss seeing a girl in the cover and although I will buy Isla and the Happily Ever After I won't buy the other new editions. No way.
But what about you, guys? Do you like the new designs? Will you buy the matching books? I know there are a lot of opinions out there and I would love to know yours :]
I really don't like the new covers! I absolutely LOVE the old covers, and I wanted the latest book to also have a stunning cover to add on my bookshelf. I will also buy Isla and the Happily Ever After, but I wish the cover was similar to the previous two books :)
ReplyDeleteI don´t like the new covers!
ReplyDeleteI don`t get why they would do this, the old covers were so pretty! I was looking forward to Isla`s because of how good the others were, now it looks like some bland copy that I would never pick up.
ReplyDeleteThey suck!! I don't understand why they canged them, they were prefect!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
I was actually looking forward to seeing what the cover would look like..why would they do this!! Seriously. .
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I don't see why change the covers EVERYBODY loved? The old ones were just a perfect match to the books, and this new ones look just plain and borring.
