I know that authors have very little say and that budget obviously plays a large role, but it’s no lie that I’ve seen two or more books that use same stock images and/or completely misinterpret the book entirely. I’d love to know the process of how book covers are designed. Not exactly the lean, starving boy that I had imagined when it came to Peregrine, Blood Lord of the Tides. Instead, I saw a boy that was pale enough to be in Twilight and…well…muscular and dressed like he belonged in some catalog. Through the Ever Night’s cover, in particular, didn’t show me a savage looking boy who could hunt and shoot a bow and arrow. It distracts me when models are used for book covers. And his savage nature made him super appealing. In my previous review, I had been enchanted with Perry as a character – his actions and his thoughts. Under the Never Sky, the first of the series by Veronica Rossi, had actually been one of my favorite books of 2012 – mostly because I fell in love with Perry’s story. After a year of waiting, imagine the excitement when Through the Ever Night was finally released and in my hands.
