I love the details on The Hammer, and the whole cover looks very put together. The Sunday Stories looks very good too, has an amazing eerie feeling to it and a more simple design on the lettering that fits pretty well. The Stealing Fire cover, though, looks amateurish. The lettering doesn't go with the theme at all, and the illustration is just so... meh.

thanks for the thumbs up on Sunday Stories. it’s one of the best covers we’ve had and Fiona’s illustration definitely rocks. the stories are great too, by the way

Sunday Stories is really accomplished. The piece's textures add real depth and add to the brooding sense of darkness. The concept is also intriguing.

Sunday Stories, hands down. The others wouldn't do much for me if I saw them on the shelf. I'd pick up Sunday Stories, though.

I would say The Hammer is probably my favourite simply because its a beautifully intricate peice of art. I also like Sunday Stories, but find the artwork a bit to dark for my liking, I would love to see more details. Stealing fire is my least favourite, the cover looks very dated and it looks to me as if the perspective is wrong.

All are solid, but not spectacular.
