I think one of the reasons I'm such a fan of artwork on covers lately is I'm so tired of seeing Photoshopped covers. Are most of the population going to catch onto the lack of photoshoot or original work for the cover? Probably not.
But it's little things on this cover - the awkward lighting, the too-perfect cut out of her hair - that make me dislike this. I love the flower vines and the play with the words (I've been in love with covers that do that since The Iron King, but I would have loved to see a cover where they actually took a photo rather than piecing it together.
So as pretty as it is, I don't really like it.
That, and it follows the whole PRETTY SAD GIRL IN DARK COLORS paranormal cover trend. Yuck.
