I feel like it fits the story (the overall emotions) better, but that's just me.

I haven't seen Jellicoe Rad published here but I hope when they do, they'd give it much better cover! Anyways, the US cover is beautiful indeed. Vibrant orange and pretty poppy! The Swedish cover is so cool. It gives a darker feeling to the book, but it's gorgeous nonetheless. :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, Jasprit and Rachel! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10224746396123025992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-22354225451554921692014-10-18T23:54:20.894+01:002014-10-18T23:54:20.894+01:00I really like the US cover, just because it's ...I really like the US cover, just because it's so different and really stands out in a crowd.

I think part of it could be that I haven't read the story, so the significance of the imagery doesn't resonate with me as much. I'm always drawn to darker covers with pops of bright color though, I can't help it!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-26959537502054985772014-10-17T14:47:44.117+01:002014-10-17T14:47:44.117+01:00I love the US Cover.

This book is mostly just somber all the time, lol :) So heartbreaking. And so good. Anyway. I actually really love the Norwegian edition. It is goooorgeous.
