Help picking a cover, which would grab your attention more?

There's two covers I'm considering. The first--Cover A--started as a concept sketch, but I ended up liking it. The second--Cover B, which is the one I'm leaning towards--matches better with the covers I've made for the other two books in the series. It's also a lot simpler and might read better on the site.

Both need a couple details fixed, but please just ignore those for now.

• Cover A
• Cover B

Cover A feels much more dynamic, using interesting depth and emotional engagement between the characters, using the space better and having a less static composition by not having the character just standing right in the middle. It's definitely the one I'd go for.

First one has more pretty boys in it. Probably go for that. (Not saying this as a joke, I'm DEAD serious).

The first one definitely has more intrigue, the clock, the thread, the facial expressions, distance between characters, where they’re facing, etc. already fill me with assumptions and questions about the story and their dynamics.

Thank you for the feedback! Yeah, it's the more interesting one, I was just worried it might seem messy. Based on the voting, I'll probably go with that one, haha.

@powerplantanimations You're not wrong though. Marketing's a hell of a thing.

@AmeTsunami I definitely tried to put in some bits that hint at things in the trilogy.

Thank you all for your input and votes, I'm pretty sure I'll just finish up the first cover and go with that one!
