I just love the composition and color scheme on this cover, and the POC rep on it is just an added benefit! You can read my review here. This is one of the instances where I absolutely love how the person on the cover is used! Although she’s there, this isn’t one of those “pretty-dress” instances (although her dress is pretty) as Mira is standing on the cover, but she’s subtle and kind of blending in as her skirt fades to black. Although I’m not a fan of people on covers (see post here) just because I like seeing making my own picture of the characters in a book, I do love how this book isn’t shy in showing off the FMC’s brown skin in a non-contemporary setting! I can’t wait for this novel to come out this year! Ooooh work it girl! (I love how she’s staring us all down over her shoulder). This is such a fun book series and I would totally recommend you check it out if you haven’t already! You can read about it in my post about the cover remake! And so, I decided to compile a list of some of my favorite book covers displaying POC loud and proud on the front of them.Įmber in the Ashes (Remake Covers) by Sabaa TahirĪlthough I really enjoyed the old covers and found them to be so aesthetically pleasing, I really love all the POC representation on this one as Laia, Helene, and Elias’s physical features and characteristics can be shown off loud and proud. One of the things I love to see on a YA book cover is some good ol’ representation of people from all over the world.
