UK Cover Reveal for THE LOST PRINCE!

Am a bit late revealing this as Mira Ink revealed the cover for The Lost Prince by Julie Kagawa. This is the first book in a new series, Call of the Forgotten, which is (in a sense) a follow-up series to The Iron Fey series. But, I have been told by Mira Ink that, even though it is set in the same world, it's a new series so you can read that without reading the previous.

And here is the UK cover to The Lost Prince:

This is very different from The Iron Fey covers, which the US cover has stuck with as you see below:

Now, out of the two, I much prefer the UK cover. I just prefer it. I think it'ss because of the silver and the magical edge to it whereas the US cover feels a bit... you know... LOOK WHO HIT PUBERTY! It feels a bit like they using the age old "Sex Sells" and my reaction is "NO! You have a fanbase, you don't need to use this tactic!!!"

Now, I do need to read The Iron Daughter and The Iron Queen, but am very intrigued over this. And, to wet your appetite, here is the US book trailer... Enjoy.

    And that’s why I prefer the AUS cover over the US cover because it just shows his face and would hopefully have more boys picking it up because of the disappearance of the torso if you know what I mean ;)

      Only just seen the Aus cover. I think that's a much better choice than the US cover. It feels more neutral. I can't imagine many boys picking up the US copy...

    I love the UK cover! It's very colourful and eye-catching.

    I'm really just not sure at all what to make of the US cover.

      I love the UK cover. I do hope Mira Ink sticks with this within the new trilogy. We shall see.

    Out of all three (UK/US/AUS) I prefer the UK cover-it's the most fantasyy and in my mind, shirtless boys/men on covers scream romance that isn't for me.
