I caved, okay.
Anyhoo, I love the design of the new book. The art style is beautiful, I just don’t feel the new design quite matches the vibe of the books.
I’ve seen a lot of hate towards the new covers. But please remember this: That design was done by an artist. A real person. Who put a lot of love, time and energy into it. And whilst we, as a fandom, may not believe it’s the best match for the SERIES, please don’t bash the art in general. There’s nothing wrong with the art. And the artist may be able to see your comments. So PLEASE PLEAAASE remember that before you post your opinion.
The design could work SO WELL for other series. Unfortunately, A Court of Thorns and Roses isn’t one of them. That’s on Bloomsbury. Not the artist.
I’m only upset because they don’t appear to be releasing ACOFS with the OLD covers either. Which would mean re-buying all the books in the new covers so that they matched and looked good on my bookcase. And Bloomsbury KNOW how obsessed bookworms are with having matching covers. So THAT feels like a major money grabbing scheme tbh.
