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.

To my shame I have to admit that I still didn't manage to read Partials despite the very awesome things I've heard about it (feel free to make me see reason in the comments). I actually like all of these covers as their composition of images is very beautifully done. The German cover's colours are definitely more eye-catching, but I think I prefer the more muted colors of the US and UK versions. These two don't have too many differences, but the longer I look at them the more I realize that I prefer the UK version. The typography and the light violett tint of the picture appeal to me a tiny bit more.
Last week's Cover Comparisons is currently at a tie between the new US cover and the UK cover for Maggie Stiefvater's Scorpio Races. Feel free to vote here for your favorite version.
Which version of Partials do you like best? Why?
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
