OMG there is a new cover for The Gathering! Apparently the UK publishers, in their infinite wisdom (and no, I am not being a smart ass this time), decided to revamp the cover for Kelley Armstrong’s first book in her new YA trilogy Darkness Rising. The US cover (which I flailed about here) was all well and good, but I think that this cover is just brilliant.
Isn’t it just lovely? I think there might be a revamp of this version before it comes out, but I am extremely excited nonetheless! Kelley Armstrong wrote about the new UK covers on her Darkest Powers blog, and kindly put up a very high quality version of the cover.
So… what do you think!?

On a first glance, I’m not sure I like it. I think it’ll grow on me though!
Um – it’s a little too strange for me! I actually prefer the other cover 🙂
I like it a lot actually. Though I have to say, I do prefer the US one :P.
For me, the US one looks more like something that would grab my attention in a bookstore, but I do think this one is also pretty!
I love the new UK cover – it’s a little different from the old US which could be any YA series. Any chance that the publishers will stick with teh same style of covers for all 3 new darkest powers books though? I hate it when they changes half way through the series…grumble, grumble…
