Question 7

I’m really confused about the characters on the Falling Kingdoms covers. Who is who?

Accepted Answer

Anything I say would be my opinion only, since the first three covers are more of an “artistic feel” of the series than an actual moment depicted of a specific character. I like to think Cleo’s on book one (as she would have looked during the final scene of the book), Jonas is on book two (or arguably it could be Magnus since red is a Limerian color), and Felix is on book three — but these are my interpretations only.
 
I think, however, it’s safe to say that book four definitely depicts Lucia. :)
 
Shane Rebenschied is the talented illustrator who (along with the fabulous art dept at Penguin!) brings these covers to life. See more of his amazing work at blot.com!
