Some of the first covers looked too modern for the story line. Several of the others seemed to have been used before like the old building and the sunset/river look. Some the others seemed too busy. This is of course a very personal choice. Good luck and will look forward to seeing what the final pick is.

Several of these covers are good enough that, if I were at a book rack, I'd pick it up & check it out. A lot of good choices. #5 is my favorite, but #3 is a close 2nd.

It seemed to capture the story and theme the best. It also had more information on what the book was about. I really liked #9. It seemed to capture the story and theme the best.

For me, the cover suggests an air of mystery with the fog-laden distant hills reflected against otherwise still waters. What I felt each of the covers lacked in their designs however, was something indicative of the war to come - some hint of the storm that was about to break and change all their lives. I get that with the tag line, but didn't feel it in the artwork. Perhaps something reflected in the water or perturbing its surface? Or maybe something in the deep BG. And then again, perhaps I'm being too literal... I picked #5. For me, the cover suggests an air of mystery with the fog-laden distant hills reflected against otherwise still waters.

Although, I don't know if my vote should be trusted, I don't have the best eye for such things. Number 6, by a nose.

A Novel of Utopian Dreams and Civil War means more than A Novel of Daybreak. I like the tagline on that one best, too. A Novel of Utopian Dreams and Civil War means more than A Novel of Daybreak.
