Living in Germany gives me the perfect opportunity to compare original covers with the ones German publishers choose. Sometimes they're gorgeous, sometimes they make me cringe, but it's always interesting to see different covers for the same novel.
Cover Comparisons is a weekly feature here at Fictional Distraction.
It's very easy for me to say that I don't like the UK cover at all. Even though I haven't read Dearly, Departed yet (although I still have an eGalley), I can see that it might fit the storyline, but I just wouldn't pick it up in a book store.
I love how the German cover incroporates a few Steampunk details, but despite that it doesn't tell me too much about the story or makes me want to find out what it's about. It's pretty but not eye-catching.
Therefore my definite favorite is the US cover which is also the reason why I hope to love Dearly, Departed (in case I ever manage to read my eGalley), just to be able to buy a finished (soooo pretty!) copy for my bookshelf without feeling like I've wasted money.
