this cover shows both a train going across a snowy area and the main character. i really like this cover as it shows not only the setting but the main character and is also bright but dark at the same time

i dislike the cover as it is too dark and makes the book almost appear to look like a horror book.

this cover is by far the lightest one out of the 3. it is mainly white and red and i like how the title is in the red smoke coming from the train.
