Brightness Random she/her Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I've been thinking recently about this, as there are a lot of beautiful covers on Brandon's books: Which is the best? Personally, I have a really hard time deciding. Too many good options, I say! The original covers for the Mistborn are beautiful, but the Stormlight Archive has fantastic covers. The original Warbreaker cover is intriguing, but I'm also fond of the cover picture for the audiobook. And Elantris has a lovely cover too... Not to mention every other Cosmere book... There were just too many beautiful covers for me to choose from. So I've decided to turn to you, the 17th Shard, and ask: Which is your favorite cover, and why? (Also, I would appreciate very much it if you would specify which cover you like, if that book has had more than one cover. Thanks! ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vineyarddawg Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I really like the Words of Radiance cover with Kaladin in the middle of saying the words and about to go all superhero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightness Random she/her Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I love the Words of Radiance cover! I actually did a project in my art class based on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurinThalion he/him Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 The Words of Radiance cover is really good, but I personally like the Elantris cover better, because of the castle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kari-no-sugata Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I adore the Warbreaker cover. Not just best Cosmere book cover, but best damnation book cover I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starspren Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I love the Way of Kings cover because I think it captures the book perfectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirce Luckwielder he/him Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 My favorite is the Elantris cover. I have the hardback so the picture is large and I just love to look at it. Every once in a while I will pull it down just to look at it. The picture is just so intricate and is a little mysterious. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haradion Drogon Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Have you guys seen the UK/European covers? I like the mystery they all have. And the way that all the Cosmere Novels have linking artistic themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botanica she/her Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 The Way of Kings cover is my all time favourite! I just like the epic feeling of it (That highstorm, wow!). As the first book of SA, WoK really makes a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightness Random she/her Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Have you guys seen the UK/European covers? I like the mystery they all have. And the way that all the Cosmere Novels have linking artistic themes. I've seen a few of them. I'd never really thought about the artistic themes they have in common, though now it seems obvious. Thanks for the insight! The Way of Kings cover is my all time favourite! I just like the epic feeling of it (That highstorm, wow!). As the first book of SA, WoK really makes a good start. That highstorm is amazing! I always love looking at clouds, and so paintings with good clouds are very much appreciated. The Stormlight Archive certainly has some nice clouds on it's covers.
