Same Book/Different Cover - Graceling

This is an occasional feature where I compare different covers of the same book...while usually I compare foreign edition, this particular book has be re-published so many times if I included all the copies we could be here all night! So what's the book this month?

Graceling by Kristin Cashore is a fun YA fantasy read that I enjoyed a couple of years ago, but the different types of covers are fun as well!


UK Cover
US Cover


French Cover
Indodesian Cover
German Cover



UK Cover: This is the one I own. I like that the girl is in dark and seems to hold that huge sword so easily. It's nice but not outstanding...

US Cover: My first thought was that this was quite dull. The decorated blade is nice and then I spotted the eye on the blade. Hmm...it grows on me but wouldn't jump off the shelves for me

French Cover: I don't want to mess with her! She looks fierce and like she knows how to handle that blade. I love teh green but the cover just screams YA for some reason... 

German Cover: I love the curved blade and the blue eyes. What looks like flames at first turn out to be glowing flowers. Very intriguing.

Indodesian Cover: I don't like the colours of the sea and sky in this one. While I love the longbow, her skin tight clothing really puts me off. Not a big fan.

My verdict? The German cover is my favourite! Which is yours? :)

    My favorite is still the cover of the U.S., but also liked the French cover.
