By the Cover: David Anthony Durham: Acacia

So this poll is a little different. For starters, you've got FIVE covers to choose from. David Anthony Durham has received quite a lot of attention for his fantasy debut, and he's gotten quite a variety in cover art. I just picked the most obvious/appealing. But that also means I wasn't ABOUT to give you every single combination of US and UK; UK ( Read more... )

Okay, so I picked the US cover, both because I liked the colors (though they make me think of Africa) and because the title is, well, a tree, and seeing anything else is just weird. I like the others, they're all well done, but I'm stuck on the tree thing.

You may want to click the link for the poll and revote then, because it looks like you voted for none of them. :)

I'm with you on the tree. And you're right: the setting the US cover evokes was NOT the same setting I got in the book. Interesting...

I have to say, I would pick up the UK cover. The image is interesting and piques my curiosity, and the colors are just...I just love the colors. *g*

Fair enough. :)

I sent you an email, btw. :)

I picked the German cover. As much as I hate generic pictures of spaceships on scifi covers, I'm a sucker for creative landscapes on fantasies ( ... )

Heee! I'm glad you're enjoying it. It's a lot of fun to put together, and one of these days, I'm going to have a follow-up poll to see if anyone's been made curious about the books in the polls and picked them up. :)
