Fantasy readers - which of these covers do you dislike least?

The third one is my favourite.

While the first one has a good, exciting angle, it doesn't include the mysterious rider that the title mentions.

The second one seems to Eragon-esque.

But the third one has the dragon and the rider. The two are also in a situation where the reader is not sure what is going to happen, creating a sense of suspense, which is exactly the purpose of a title and cover page.

Good luck!

Hi Steven. I like the third one. I like that it's silhouette-ish and that the rider is in the picture. It's a tranquil location where something exciting is about to happen. If I saw this one in a bookstore (or Amazon) I would pick it up and read a sample and the synopsis. Just like The Mirrors of Elangir did.

Oh and the colours aren't overly garish.

Wow! For me it is an honor answer a question yours. I think you're very intelligent and insightful guy.

Well... I loved all three. But I enjoyed the third. You really are amazing. I'd love to read your book.

Good luck! ♡

To be frank, I'm not impressed with any of them; the standard of the artwork - though vastly better than anything I could manage - is off-putting. But if forced to choose, I'd go for the second.

Also, I loathe the font.

Sorry.

I would really like the second one best if you added a profile of the dragonrider's head, looking the dragon right in the eye, up close.

But with no changes, I like the third one best. (If the title says "dragonrider," then I expect to see a dragonrider somewhere on the cover.)

I'd say the last even thought I think more detail would be better... I don't know it looks a little too computer animated.

The third cover is the best. The first is good but it doesn't show a rider, meanwhile the third one does.

I like the first one the best. The dragon looks as real as it's going to get with whatever software you used.

I like all 3 of them! That's so creative!

I think that the last is the best. The title indicates that there is both a dragon and a human (the rider) so to include both on the cover seems to make more sense.
