Cover Crush: The Wardrobe Mistress

We can all say that you should never judge a book by its cover, but I guarantee that we all have done so at least once! Cover Crush is designed to feature some of those covers that have caught the eye as a standout on the bookshelf.

“This cover intrigues me.  When I first looked at it I though that she was looking out a very large window, such as in a palace, and she is supposed to be the titular character, a Mistress of the Wardrobe.  However, after reading the description, I am pretty sure that she might be looking out from the wings of a stage (since this is set in a theatre that makes more sense).  But can you see my confusion?  Regardless of its appropriateness, I still think the cover is striking.  I always think that red is a bold color choice and will draw the eye in.  I like that she appears as more of a shadow against the bright backdrop.  And I don’t even mind the words of the title obscuring the central figure. 

What are your thoughts on this cover?

I wonder what my friends are crushing on this week? Let’s check it out: Flashlight Commentary, 2 Kids and Tired Books, A Bookaholic Swede, Layered Pages.
