| Calamity by Brandon Sanderson |
The cover for The Bands of Mourning was only revealed last week but we’ve already got a brand new Brandon Sanderson cover to ogle. Gollancz has revealed the artwork for Calamity, the third full length novel in the Reckoners series, and Sam Green has once again been drafted in to produce the artwork. I absolutely love the work Sam Green has done for Gollancz’s other Sanderson novels but, personally, the Calamity cover doesn’t quite have the same impact as the previous Reckoners novels. I do prefer them, however, to the covers produced by Delacorte Press. Take a look and tell me what you think!

Once again, Sam Green wins, and I actually own that version of Mitosis 🙂

Yes! I wish Calamity was a little more like its predecessors though.

Interesting to see these side by side! I do like the Gollancz versions better, although I like the Delacorte Steelheart the best. The Calamity cover just doesn’t look very exciting.

I think maybe the Delacorte Calamity is too close to the cover for Firefight and the Gollancz Calamity isn’t close enough!

I’m yet to read any Brandon Sanderson (I know, I know) but (I think this is the first time I’ve ever said this…) I prefer the US covers. I’m generally drawn to colourful things though, and the last two in particular just burst with colour!

The Delacorte Press covers are certainly eye catching! Though I don’t know whether I’d pick them up in a bookshop if I didn’t know they were written by Brandon Sanderson!

I like the Delacorte Press covers, because the colors are vibrant and eye catching. The artwork in the Gollancz version is insanely good though, but it’s too gray for me XD Anyway, I’m so excited for this! I hope he releases the next Rithmatist book soon
