I think Australian / New Zealand edition is pretty cool! I always liked simple things on cover. And 'Taste of Darkness' suits with the cover too! :D

Woohoo to excited about the release! Just cant wait ♡ xx
ReplyDeleteNot even sure im posting in the right place lol :-) heres my email Kathy_m_xx@yahoo.co.uk sorry if I have posted wrong xx
DeleteAussie for sure! Just in time for Christmas! I know what will be under the tree for me!
ReplyDeleteThe Uk one (but in reality it's a tie with the US cover^^) i love how she is dressed and the game of color
ReplyDeleteisabelle(dot)frisch(at)gmail(dot)com
I love the American and Aussie/NZ covers. I do like the UK one but I think it would have been better if they used a darker/deeper colour set for the background instead of the pink. But all in all they are all quite tasteful and bring a hint as to what the story entails. And they follow on pretty well from the previous covers.
ReplyDeleteI seriously can't wait any longer to see what happens next! January! Hurry up and arrive!!!!

The UK cover, but the Australian is close to it.

So ridiculously excited for this book!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the Australian one since I prefer covers that leave the characters appearance to your own imagination!
jess.cole@live.com
I absolutely love the Australian/New Zealand it really matches the UK cover of your other series!
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of it as well as loving just about anything with a flaming rose.
stacy.l.medina@gmail.com
love them all! :-) Jennifer.Owens@live.co.uk
ReplyDeleteI think the UK cover is pretty cool and has the essence of the other books. Also, is the only UK cover has no writing "New York Times bestselling autor of POISON STUDY" on the front image xD And the model has better clothes than the USA edition.
ReplyDeleteBut I really love them all.
(I'm your friend on goodreads -Dany Bouche)
the United Kingdom cover is the best! I think the Australian cover looks a little Twilight-y. Like it matters though.... i'd read it if it had no cover at all. :) 63 days!
ReplyDeleteDanielmaiette@att.net
They all are really pretty!!! Have loved the UK ones since the beginning, but I think the Aussie one is cool too. Doesn't remind me of Twilight. Love them all!
ReplyDeletejessbess2505(AT)yahoo(DOT)com
They're all beautiful but I think I'll vote forrrrrrrrrrrr US.
ReplyDeleteLRAtRandom@gmail.com
I really like the united kingdom cover. This is exactly how i imagine avery when reading the books. I like the fact i cant see her face! When reading i see the outline and not the features. All three covers are exceptional but i think the uk copy just sums the book up for me. X
ReplyDeleteThe American cover is my favorite, but I also really like the UK cover as well. I can't wait to read the new novel! nefarious20(AT)gmail(DOT)com
ReplyDeleteI really like them all but the UK cover wins for me. It's very fitting with the previous ones and I just like the overall feel of it. I like the central positioning of Avry on it too.
ReplyDeleteOh and my email is dreximgirl@yahoo.co.uk
DeleteI love the UK edition. It's gorgeous and she definitely looks like the Avry I had in mind. May the best win! :D
ReplyDeleteThe UK edition is my favorite, plus it goes with the Touch of Power cover that I have :)

I love them all, but my favourite is the UK version! clairegdownes@gmail.com xx
ReplyDeleteI love the UK edition, myself. And I plan to order that book from across the sea so that it will match the other UK covers in your healer series! These books are amazing and gorgeous, inside and out!
ReplyDeleteI think Australia/NZ is the best.

ReplyDeleteI think it's a tie between the UK and USA covers. They're both beautiful.
ReplyDeletelove the US One. so pretty. Awww Avry!
ReplyDeleteash.hufford@gmail.com
I like the US/Canada cover. The girl on the cover look determined, almost defiant, like you could throw whatever you want at her, she'll handle it.

For me it's between USA and Australia! I love the background of the USA cover I especially love the flow of colors. Also her strong and determined stance but I also love the simplicity and the burning fire of the Australian cover. So I'm in a bit of a bind! :)

I have the set of the UK covers but for this last one I really like the American one. I think it's because of what Avery is wearing, it reminds me of the Glass series UK covers, therefore is awesome.
ReplyDeleteHonestly they are all gorgeous. They each have something the others are missing, but having to choose just one.... UK I'm always very drawn to their covers.

ReplyDeleteI have to admit to being a HUGE fan of your Australian covers... I think it offers an eye popping depth and sense of mystery that appeals to me as a reader... I truly love the absence of character portrayal on the covers as it allows the reader to resonate more fully with their own conjured images of your characters. I love all of your books and can't wait to complete this series with Taste of Darkness.... :-)
susannesmith1@bigpond.com
Eee. I can't decide between the UK or Aus/NZ editions! But maybe I'm leaning a bit more to the UK...
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to see that the UK cover is sort of an inverse color of the US. :)
celeste_fiore @ live dot com
The beautiful, awesome and striking Black and Red Orange flaming Rose of the Aussie version... AMAZING design!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading all your books since I first saw Poison Study in the bookstore with the beautiful Green and Purple fire cover, so really can't wait to have this one to add to my overflowing bookshelf! :)

I really like them all but if I must chose the United Kingdom cover with USA a close second!! I can't wait to read it!!! :D

ReplyDeleteI'm sooo excited! The Aus/NZ cover is my favourite for sure! I love it because it matches not only my other Avry books but it's also in a similar style to my Study books! I can't wait until December! :D
ReplyDeletekatiekat_rulz(at)hotmail(dot)com
OMG!!! I am so excited to read this book. I love the Aus and NZ cover the best and lucky me, I am in Australia!!
ReplyDeleteDecember is simply just too far away now :(
Thanks for the great work, Maria!
rungdhiwa@hotmail.com
I'm so torn between the Aus and UK ones. I think I will have to get both. But I'll choose the Aus one as I have the first two in the Aus style.
ReplyDeleteI must say, the Aus one is looking mighty fine! I loved the reprint of the Study series with their covers like this one. So pretty~
ReplyDeletemoleseyemma@googlemail.com
Definitely the Australian and New Zealand cover and no I am not being biased lol It also matches the rest of my collection love it.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait not long though it will be here in time for xmas.

Thanks Maria for putting it out there you rock :)
Wow ... That's really difficult. The Australian cover is beautiful, but the UK cover is kinda cool with the posion cup (I'm not sure if it's a posion cup, looks like one). I go for the UK cover. :-)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait anymore.

My favourite would be the Australian cover as it matches the two I already have, and looks quite dramatic and interesting. It also allows you to picture the characters in your head.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy the release date is December 16th!
My email is bri4sportz@hotmail.com
I'm with the Australian cover, though i'm trying to work out the connection to taste of darkness ^^
ReplyDeleteHope your excited too!

I think it's the Australian / New Zealand edition that's my favourite. I love how simple it is but it really draws my eye in and if I saw it on a shelf I'm want to go and read the synopsis.
ReplyDeleteMy e-mail - emington84@hotmail.com
I just can't wait for this to come out. I loved the first 2 books and to eventually have it all wrapped up is so exciting as I want to know what they've been up to.
I am a fan of all of them, but alas I do have my favourite among them, and that one is (drum roll) the united kingdom edition! I like this one the best because it has just the right mystery feel to it, and still you get a feel of what the book might bring. I love, love, love the previous books, and I am jumping up and down in wait for the releas of this one. My e-mail: charlotte.u.p@hotmail.com (just in case I'm lucky) :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the UK cover! Although all of them sure are gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteWhooops, forgot my email: reofamelaterrado(at)yahoo(dot)com

I love the black cover with the burning rose! So dramatic!
ReplyDeletemichelleheumann(at)gmail(dot)com
Loveeee the Australian / New Zealand edition!! The flower is just elegant and so beautiful against the black background. The flames are extraordinary wonderful especially. Can't wait for the finale (and for Avry and Kerrick to get together again, I believe in it :P)
ReplyDeleteBe sure to keep on writing, looking forward to more Yelena and Valek as well. Both couples are truly special and they bring a smile to my face whenever I reread their moments. AND those special quotes you integrated in both series are stuck with me for life 8D. Waiting and waiting for December to come soon, love all the way from Singapore :333

I really like the UK one, although the US one is snazzy too--can't really choose. (Since I know I'm going to have the US one, I think I'll go with that :-) )
ReplyDeleteI have to show some solidarity and say UK one + it will tie in with my other ones! I like Avry in this one the best anyways but I like that the US one had lilies on the front as it's a hint to the story inside!
ReplyDeleteBut they are all beautiful!
Love,

I think it's a tough choice between UK and Australia one for me. but if I'm going to have a complete series at some point, it's going to have to be UK. just because.
ReplyDeleteambertolli65@gmail.com
I personally like the fire in the Australian cover. Reminds me of a certain magician from a similar world of yours. But then again I also loved the name "Taste of Death" before it was changed. All of them are cool, but I'm much more excited for the content than the cover.
ReplyDeleteYour Fan,

Wow.. normally the UK cover is ny favourite but I think the Australian is nt favourite this time -. But for my collection I would still like the UK one xD
ReplyDeleteCheriem52@hotmail.com
The Australian / New Zealand edition is absolutely gorgeous! However, my vote must go to the US/ Canada version for the gorgeous backgrounds and the lily symbolism. I love that she is holding a lily, yet it almost looks like she is holding a cup (like the UK cover), touching on the aspect of "Taste" of Darkness.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Maria! :D Loved the first chapter!

<3 Love them.
I always like the UK covers the best I think - for some reason they appeal to me more. But my vote goes to the US cover just because those are what I own :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for this next book! It'll be one I immediately buy on the release date. Great contest!

I love the Australian one. I do like the others as well though. I'm excited for Taste of Darkness! I can't wait! kare_slezak@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteEach one is stunning, but the US wins out for me! I love the green and purple colors over the blue, even though blue is my favorite color! No matter, you have talented artists for your covers.
ReplyDeleteThe Australian cover is definitely my favourite! Simple, yet elegant. Your eyes are drawn to the fiery rose, then rise up the flames and focus on the title "Taste of Darkness. As the ashes fall your gaze floats down to see "Maria V. Snyder"!! Love it.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait till December, I know what will be on the top of my Christmas list!

*By the way, I am only posting as anonymous because my computer won't let me do my name. :/ Anywho, luck to all!!!
Definitely the first one, the burning rose it's reminiscent of the Ixia books, I finished fire study today and the climax was incredibly paced from when they return to the citadel, every answer to every question was great.
ReplyDeletemarcus93@hotmail.co.uk
I'd have to choose the Australian / New Zealand cover. Like the rest of the Australian covers, its nice and simple, and yet manages to stand out amongst the others. It also gives free reign to the reader's imagination.

The Australian/NZ cover is my favorite, sweet and simple and yet still visually interesting.
ReplyDeletemolly.hall@drake.edu
I love the Australian/NZ cover the most, because the other two seem a bit unrealistic (or not fantasy enough in this matter). The NZ cover however is simplistic but really catches the eye, with beautiful and bright colors :)
ReplyDeleteJeleaneNightbreeze@gmail.com
I think the united kingdom one is best.... I like having Avry on the cover but I think this Avry is better than the USA one :)

They are all amazing, the Australian cover is simple, but strikingly beautiful. However, the Uk cover will be the one I see when passing through many bookstores wanting to buy everything in site.
ReplyDeleteMy email is tiny_the_turtle@hotmail.com
I like the UK version the best, not only will it match my previous 2 books, but I like that it captures my imagination with a specific picture of trees and a person. The australian/nz version is too much like some of the specific country versions of study books (eg, UK 2013 reprint, italian version, french, australian) and the 2013 uk reprint of the glass series, where its a black background with one simple item on the picture.
ReplyDeleteI love the UK contrast of colours too of the dark maroon (dried blood colour) background with avry's turquoise aqua clothes. Also like also seeing partially the face of avry, so allows me to identify myself as her rather than anyone else and also helps to have dark hair. :) would have liked the gold goblet though of the usa/canada version in the uk version and then it would be perfect. lol.
gosh I would love to have a copy of this book already!! PLEASE! (pretty please) ;)
email: sunita_j@hotmail.com
Why why why why ARE THE AUSTRALIAN ONES SO PRETTY!!!!!!!!!! WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT TO US!!!!!! So yeah that would have to be my favourite, but I mean WHY!!!! Though I really really like the UK ones as it matches all my other covers for your books which all tie in which is cool, but then they start making the Australian ones the UK ones too!!!! And then we get more study books :D but that means my covers won't match :( which is upsetting, why do the new ones have to be so undescribably (that's a word right?) pretty too which makes me jealous even though I adore the traditional fantasy look of the old UK and current Healer series UK covers!!!!! Eeeeek, on edge for Taste of Darkness, excited so much - it's caused me to ramble!!!!!!! :D
ReplyDeletegirlonfire425@gmail.com
WOW! I really like the USA/Canada version. To me, it feels like it represents Avry the best with the light hair and the lilies on the cover. Its way too pretty. I can't wait to read it. I started reading this series and I immediately wanted to know what happens at the end!!!
ReplyDeletemabinogiaddict@yahoo.com
I love the UK cover!! (I've always been partial to the UK covers of this trilogy) But the US/Canada one is pretty awesome, too! XD I can't wait for this book, I'm just sad that it's coming out after Christmas.... But all good things come to those who wait, right?
