I have to admit, I haven't read the books, ( want to! Just haven't gotten around to it ) that being said, the new covers draw me in more and really make me want to pick it up even sooner! The colors and design are just well... eyecatching and wonderful! Thanks for sharing :)

Have to admit, I'm not a fan of the new covers. They don't tell anything about the stories and while pretty, they seem more style than substance.

I don't really like the new covers, I thought the previous ones were so original and cool.
:(

Plus, I hate when they change the cover and it doesn't match the previous onesª

I've already ranted about this on another blog, so I'll keep it short: As beautiful as the new covers are, they don't fit Cassel's story. They don't fit his voice. The old ones did, and as you said, the old ones also appeal to both genders (when very few covers these days seem to do so). I honestly don't understand why they designed and released an (awesome) cover image for Black Heart and then completely changed things up! When I get I copy of Black Heart, I'm seriously tempted to print out the old-styled-version and paste it onto the new cover :P

And yes. Although I guessed the spoiler early into White Cat, the cover makes it even more obvious.

I really hate the new covers to be honest and I mentionned it on my review of Black Heart (which will be posted tomorrow). The original covers really fit with the book and the story whereas the new covers are just generic and meaningless if you ask me. Really sad =/

The older covers are more gender-neutral to me, and as you've mentioned, it's much more likely to appeal to both guys and girls. I actually feel like the new covers are a bit more... feminine in appeal. They are really pretty though!
