Tags: Books by Proxy, Covers with Blade in the title, The Friday Face Off
Here we are again with the Friday Face Off meme being hosted by Books by Proxy . This is a great opportunity to feature some of your favourite books’ covers. The rules are fairly simple and can be found here. Each week, following a predetermined theme choose a book, compare a couple of the different covers available for that particular book and choose your favourite. Simples. This week the theme is:
Renewed Shall be Blade That Was Broken
A cover which features the word ‘blade’ in its title
Books and travelling with Lynn 
Awesome book series, gets better with each book. Ah, you picked the same as me for the Friday Face-Off, oh well, great minds must think a like and I to chose the UK cover though it was close between the UK and French. 😊🙌
Cool – will be over to check out your post shortly.
Lynn 😀
I completely agree with your choice – Drew at The Tattooed Book Blog has also gone with THE TRAITOR’S BLADE and also agrees with your decision:). It really is a striking cover. This is my FF this week… https://sjhigbee.wordpress.com/2016/05/27/friday-faceoff-renewed-shall-be-the-blade-that-was-broken/
I love that cover – sometimes I wonder if it’s just a case of familiarity but having really given the other covers a good look I don’t think so.
Lynn 😀
I agree with the 3rd without any doubt. Though the first intrigued me.
I love the blue color of the first cover! But before I even read what you wrote, I was think it remained me of some other book too… I thought it was sometime of alternate cover for the The Blade Itself that I hadn’t seen before?
I like the third one best, too. If you look at it from afar, and can’t see the detail in the red, the guy looks like a giant gummy bear XD
haha – a giant gummy bear – yeah, I can go with that. The first does have an Abercrombie feel and the second just doesn’t appeal to me somehow.
Lynn 😀
Read this book a few weeks ago – amazing! Love it. The covers aren’t half bad either 😉 I definitely agree with you on this one – that third cover is gorgeous – so simple but eye-catching! 😀
Ah you and the TattooedGeek are Fri Faceoff twins this week. I don’t know, I think I would have to go with the US one for this. It’s the only one that shows the three of them for the full on musketeers vibe. I also thought this would be full on grimdark when I first saw the UK cover, the humorous adventure it turned out to be completely shocked me!
Haha – yeah, good point about the Musketeer effect, and yeah, I came to the read late with this one so I knew what to expect but even with that in mind I still wasn’t expecting the humour that the book has.
Lynn 😀
I would definitely pick the 3rd cover too, it is so striking!
I love that entire series of covers – really eye catching and dramatic.
Lynn 😀
I definitely prefer the cover you chose, too! And not just because it matches all the other series artwork. 😉
