THE FINAL ROUND
Okay. I’ve been putting this post off for a little while, but I had good reason.
Ink had a very decisive win over Salt to the Sea, but Pride and Sea of Rust were stuck at a stalemate. I held off on moving to the final round in hopes that another vote would come alone and break the tie. That did not happen.
I could have cast my own vote, but that seemed like the wrong way to handle things. Instead, here’s what we’re going to do for the final round:
TRIPLE THREAT! 3-WAY! 1 on 1 on 1! Whatever you want to call it, we have 3 covers and only one will be the Contest of Covers Champion!

Note: Between education and career, I have over 15 years of experience in the field of graphic design. While I don’t pretend to know everything about design, and it will always be extremely subjective, I feel like I can speak about it with a modicum of authority (or at the very least, I don’t sound completely clueless.)
Oh I was far too late for the last one 😂… But my vote for this round goes to Ink!
Glad you weren’t late on this final round. Thanks for ALL your votes throughout the contest Meeghan
Hahaha, thanks!! I kind of wished I hadn’t voted early now because I like to see where the other votes are, and I probably would have voted for Pride. (I’m angry at Sea of Rust for knocking out NN 😂)
At least you don’t hold a grudge. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
😱 I hold the BEST grudges. Could 100% rival Jude Duarte for grudge holding… 😂
WHY??!?!?! Why is this so hard!!!! I love both Ink and Sea of Rust equally…… they’re both so beautiful!!! But, my art and science fiction loving heart HAS to vote for Sea of Rust. There’s something so pleasing about the colours and the background. And there’s also a lot of interest and intrigue that the cover creates.It makes me want to read it. Ink is beautiful, but the cover only makes me want to look at it and not necessarily read the pages. Sea of Rust for the win!
You bring up a lot of excellent points. Thanks for all your votes throughout the contest cuz!
It’s gotta be Pride for me guys😬
It’s a wonderful cover. Thanks for all your votes throughout the contest Sam!
Thanks for hosting friend
Sea of Rust😁
Yay! Thanks for all your votes throughout the contest Tammy!
I thought for sure I would choose Ink, but the more I look at Sea of Rust the more I appreciate it! My vote has to go for Sea of Rust.. now I must actually read the book!
I’ve been in love with this cover for years, have had it on my shelf for over a year, and STILL haven’t read it. This is the year, I swear it!
Thanks for all your votes throughout the contest!
Sea of rust!
Thanks for all your votes throughout the contest Evelyn!
Why is this so tough? I think I’m gonna have to go for Pride though because I have this book and it’s suuuch beautiful cover that I love!
I know, it’s a hard choice! Thanks for all your votes throughout the contest.
I have to go with Pride in this one.
Thanks for all your votes throughout the contest Misty!
Of course!!
Sea of Rust is beautiful and takes my vote!
Thank you for your vote!
OMG Sea of Rust is winning! Because I said this, does this give me an extra vote for it? I asked Laney which one she would choose and she said Sea of Rust…… trying hard lol
Lol. We’ll have to see if a tie-breaker is needed.
Oh man, I love the cover of Pride but it pales in comparison to the other two! Sea of rust would be my favorite but that arm sticking up really annoys me for some reason :/ But it does have amazing colors! Urg, why is this so hard?!?!?! Ok, ok I will pick one! Ummmm, Ink … it is really pretty and I love the details!
I like Pride but it’s really between Rust and Ink now. That’s hard. The hand in Rust does annoy me too but the colours…. It’s gorgeous. Hmm…. Sea of Rust or Ink…. I’m gonna go with….. Rust for the win.
