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.

I always like the fantasy-like feeling of Maggie's covers because they usually fit her beautiful writing oh-so-well. To my shame I have to admit that I haven't read The Scorpio Races yet, but I've had a UK copy ever since the book has been released and really hope to get to read it soon. Therefore it's also obvious that I definitely prefer the UK cover to US hardback cover - the latter is a little bit boring to me instead of just beautifully simple. The new US version (to be released April 2013) is a little bit better as it has more life to it, but I still prefer the UK cover. The German version is pretty, but - to me - slightly boring, too.
Which version did you vote for? Why?
I'd love to hear your thoughts!
