UK!
1. It goes with the rest of the MVS UK covers in my bookcase. (or box for now)
2. It screams tough heroin! The US covers says story about a teen girl to me and the AU cover says love story...

I don't see any tie into this book for the UK cover though. Maybe the lightning/light coming from her hand is supposed to represent her healing powers but her powers weren't described like that.
With the US cover you have the death lily tie in an there's a castle in the background. Yes the colors are a little too girly for the story but I like the lily tie in.
The AU cover does look a little romancy but it shows her healer tattoo.

also, i think the whole lightning thing is good, it shows she is powerful, and also i like the trees in the background, perhaps a glimpse of Kerrick's powers?
I see the forest in the background, and that lightning to the hand? I dunno but it looks like a powerful touch! ;) But most important the clothes etc give the cover the feeling that goes with the story.



but then I like the pinkness of the US cover ;)

I was looking for a good picture of the healer tattoo, and when I enlarged the tat on the AU cover I got this:

It looks cool, but it doesn't look like (and I quote) "a simple circle of hands. From a few feet away, it resembled a daisy with hand-shaped petals."

I've only seen the one cover so far.

I have the US cover of the first one but now I have to buy the UK edition as well just so they match.
UK cover of Scent of Magic is stunning and I just couldn't stop staring at it when I got it yesterday.











Beautiful covers!

Before reading ToP the AU/US covers were my fav but now after reading it I have a bigger appreciation for the US cover.
