Shelf Candy is hosted by Five Alarm Book Reviews. Every Saturday, you showcase a book cover that has you falling head over heels. We’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but hey, sometimes it’s nice to stop and appreciate the awesome artwork!
I just love these new UK covers for Maria V. Snyder's Study Series. The artist (Henry Steadman) really captured the essence of the story in each cover. For those of us who've read the series before, we know the covers are basically showing us a moment in Yelena's life. And for those who haven't read it yet (and you must!) we'll you'll be intrigued by them. You'll want to know who is the tough looking chick in the cover, what's with the poison bottles in front, and the crystal figurines filled with fire. And I can tell you now it's one amazing story! Oh! and the words Poison, Magic and Fire of each cover are metallic and shiny. Shiny always good ;D
