Trailer for: The Eternal Ones

So last week we looked at the high quality trailer for all five of the Penguin young adult books coming out this season.  Now we're going to look at the trailers for each individual book.  First up, The Eternal Ones...



Well, I certainly get a better picture of what the book is about, although not much.  The trailer is selling something generic and I get no sense that what draws these two together is more than love, lust, or fate.  There is no mention that they may have been together in a past life and in that past life Iain may have killed Haven.  The reincarnation bit is what is interesting and different about this novel and it's missing from this trailer.

I probably would have found this trailer more compelling if they combined the words only approach of this trailer with the video from the combined trailer of Haven looking in the mirror and then seeing herself in a previous life.

  1. That was better? I feel like I learned nothing from that. Certainly nothing that would make me want to pick up the book. :(

  2. It was better than the first one, yes. But still, I didn't find it effective. :) The trailer doesn't make me want to read the book, but if you read the jacket copy it sounds amazing!
