(A Court of Thorns and Roses #4)
by
Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it.

Fall 2018. The awaiting begins. Gods. Now I advise you not to read further unless you've finished ACOWAR -- seriously, what are you even doing on the internet if that's the case???

That cover reveal hit me.
The way this cover DOESN'T MATCH the series bugs me that much.
Ps. EVEN IF this Dollar-Tree-Mardi-Gras-plastic-mask-on-concrete WAS going to be the new style... why is it Lucien themed? This is Nesta/Cassian's story?? Lucien wears a fox mask for 50 years, has autumnal fiery magic...
UPDATE
Okay. So I know this is JUST a print but THIS was the cover I was expecting!!
Gorgeously made by StarsThatDream

EDIT 25/9/2020: That cover is hideous. And it's so annoying when publishers change covers mid-series.

i have decided in retrospect while i don’t think the new covers fit this series, the design is actually nice. and the artist definitely shouldn’t be harassed by ppl for doing her job 👌🏻

So, they really decided to go ahead with that cover??!
So you’re trying to tell me they actually sat there and thought, yes. This is it. This is the cover that will tell this particular story?!!
😒
After THE cover that was Crescent City, THIS is the best the design team could've come up with? Do not tell me this has significance.
Everything about this screams lazy.
WE deserve better.

We have a cover and it's totally not what I expected it to be!
Mhmm... not sure if I love it or hate it! *lol*
I'm no huge fan of the colours that were used but I like the idea of the interwoven mask!
It's definitely something different than the usual covers though.
Let's see what 2021 will bring us!

I have never liked Nesta. sorry not sorry. I didn’t like her much in the previous books but I acknowledge that her character does have potential for such depth
Some describe Nesta as ambitious and authoritative character but to me she was very selfish, cold, and distant. She did nothing to help Feyre provide for their family and spent the money Freye earned on frivolous items.

UPDATE:
I cannot decide if I like the cover or not? Like I will not lie. I do like the new covers of this series but not sure about this one. It may grow on me though

Look Nesta, girl we got to talk. May we talk? I think you need to calm the fuck down. I bought a book for you. It’s called Being Nice for Dummies. Please read this and get back to me.

I’ve decided the cover designer was, indeed, drunk.
How do you take so many gorgeous pieces and somehow make them look so wrong together?
