What do you think of the new Pendragon covers?

The Merchant of Death was first published in 2002 . . . a lifetime ago.  So we thought it was time to spiff up the Pendragon series and create new covers.   Over the next year or so, all ten books will come out with the new design.  (Paperback only.  The hardcovers won’t change)

    I love the new covers. They give the book more……. pop. You can tell a lot about a book by it’s cover. However there are some books that I like the old cover better.

    Book 1: Old cover
    Book 2: new
    book 3: old
    book 4: old
    book 5 TIE
    book 6 new
    book 7 old
    book 8 new
    book 9 new
    book 10 old

    out of all th enew covers my favorite one is the new book 8.

    Personnally, I liked the old covers better because you could see what Bobby looked like. BUT, the new covers are more modern and cool

  8. funnyface7 says:

    hate 2 get off subject, but whats up with the games?
    ;(

  9. This is Pendragon says:

    New ones. DUH

  10. This is Pendragon says:

    I do agree with funnyface7 when he says:
    I liked the old covers better because you could see what Bobby looked like. BUT, the new covers are more modern and cool.

  11. Harry says:

    One thing that was nice about the old covers was how you could see what the main character looked like. But all in all I like the news ones better, they have a very nice feel to them. Its a shame they can’t be hardcovers.

  12. shaghayegh says:

    I love your novels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    they are perfect
    thanks alot

    I have read all but the tenth so, planning on buying that soon. I have looked up the cover, though. I like to take a glance for myself. I think I prefer all of the old covers over the new. The paper of the old covers feels legit, unlike the cheap quality of the new ones. I own 1-9, 1-6 are the old, and 7-9 are new. I just feel better when I pickup a book with the old covers. I also like seeing the characters, though. You always have the image in your head of how you view each character but, seeing someone else’s perspective with such creativity is luxurious.

    I like the old ones better because it allowed you to see the age progression of Bobby and how some of the other characters look. Not to mention a little idea of the territory that they are dealing with. The new ones aren’t bad and I like that I now know I was partially wrong in how the ring looks. But while they are more “modern” they don’t hold the same feel in my opinion comparatively.

  15. EminemismyHero says:

    I like the old ones better except 4 the sebenth one. The new cover for quillian games looks beast!

  16. Alyia Darken says:

    I like the older ones because they tell a little more about the book. Maybe then people wont judge a book by its cover, if its an awesome cover. ;)

  17. Kasha Dimond says:

    No opinion. I like em both. After all u cant judge a book by its cover!!!!!!! :-)

  18. Bobby is awesome!!!! says:

    I think that the old covers are the best because on Soldiers of Halla you actually can see what Saint Dane looks like. :)

  19. flamez08 says:

    the new covers are a tab bit better but still i do like the old ones

  20. tyrone says:

    i love the old covers, i like how on the spine there is the different colors on the top. it looks cool to have all the books with the colors together like that. however i will say the 9th cover looks bad ass! i am currently getting the 9th and 10th from amazon today, i am honestly hoping i get the original covers just to keep the trend on my book case going but if i get the new covers i wont complain.

  21. Man in Red says:

    Heck, I thought the old ones were fine. But I think the new covers for a few (like 4 and 5) are pretty sweet. Not so much with the new one for 10 (because the old one was amazing, it had saint dane).
