Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff
Gah! This cover is perfect. Every little detail reminds me of the book. The illustration of Yukiko and Buruu is amazing and accurate. The font is so Japanese and so Steampunk at the same time. You can really look at this cover and get an idea of what the book is about. Plus, it looks amazing.

Crown of Embers by Rae Carson
I'm so glad that the cover for the first book in this series was changed from yet another girl in a dress. The original cover on the ARC for that book made this look like a paranormal series. But it's high fantasy. So when they changed it to look more fantasy-ish, I was pretty excited. And I like this one even more. The colors are gorgeous. I approve!

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
I love the artistic simplicity of the cover for The Raven Boys. I love the black and white with splashes of red. It looks both sinister and magical and I think that the cover conveys that perfectly.

Do you also like any of these covers? There are so many awesome covers this month, and it was difficult to choose only three! Are there any that you're tempted to buy for the cover alone? What new little works of art will you be picking up for your shelves this month? Let me know in the comments!
I LOVE Stormdancer's cover, one of my favourite covers for the year, and The Raven Boys's cover looks so much prettier in person. Another favourite for September is the US cover for Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan, I love the illustration and the colours. It just stands out, and is uniquely gorgeous.
