One of my favorite things about series is the matching covers with beautiful variations on a theme. When the variation is the main color, I like to try to guess what the color scheme of the next book of a series is going to be :D. And now for the first time I’m letting you all in to the colorful craziness that is my brain to see what my current guesses are!
Complete Examples
Allegiant
I loved the blue, green, and orange background covers with the elements in the sky (though I’m still not sure why they are there >.>). I’m pretty sure I had a passing thought that the cover of Allegiant would be orange/red, or at least I like to think I did ;-).
Endsinger
I was so freaking pumped when the cover to Endsinger was revealed because I definitely did guess that it would be yellow :D. I actually didn’t love Kinslayer’s cover at first, but my love of that book apparently made it grow on me and now I’m gleefully petting my copies of the first two as I wait to get my hands on Endsinger!
Dreams of Gods and Monsters
I’ll be honest: I’ve never loved these covers. I just don’t get why they are a random girl with stuff on her face. However, I do love the color variations!
Guess with me!
Storm (Paper Gods #3)
I’ve been enjoying the Paper Gods series and the covers are gorgeous. The watercolor pastels obviously have to be continued to the third cover, but I’m thinking that it is going to be blue both because of the title Storm and because it would look pretty on my shelf ;-).
Bone Season #3
I know I’m horrendously impatient that I’m already thinking about book three when Mime Order’s cover was just revealed, but it is just so much fun! This one I’m a bit stumped on since the blue and red mirror each other so nicely and there isn’t a third main color that clearly would work for the third book. I’m thinking though that they might take advantage of the gold designs in the first two and make the third cover gold with red and blue accents. Thoughts?
Throne of Glass #4
Again with the impatience ;-). I love the rich, jewel tones of the Throne of Glass covers and am really hoping that book four is purple, probably partially because it is my favorite color, but it is also the color of royalty right? The series just wouldn’t be complete without a purple cover, ha. We should also see if we can guess what weapon will be on the cover, thoughts?? :D
What colors do you predict for these series? Feel free to guess something different than me ;-). What other series do you have guesses for??
