Friday Face Off: The Unicorn Hunters by Katherine Arden

FFO

Today I’m returning to the  Friday Face Off, originally created by Books by Proxy).  I’ve missed these for the past few months and so would like to get back to comparing covers (and hopefully I will be updating this page with a new banner.  This is an opportunity to look at a book of your choice and shine the spotlight on the covers.  Of course this only works for those books that have alternative covers (although sometimes I use this to look at a series of books to choose a favourite). So, if you have a book that has alternative covers, highlight them and choose your favourite.  If you’re taking part it would be great if you leave a comment/link so I can take a look at what you’ve chosen.

This week I’ve chosen a book that I haven’t read yet but I’m really excited about. The Unicorn Hunters by Katherine Arden. Here are the covers:

My favourite

It’s a tough choice because I really like both of these covers.

Which is your favourite this week?

    I definitely agree with your choice, although I do still like the art style on the other cover.

      This was a tough one – I really like both covers and changed my mind back and forth many times before sticking with the darker cover.

    Honestly I’m the same as you and cant truly choose. I love the colour scheme of the first one but the second is more the style that generally calls to me 🤔 I’d give the latter the edge for its details but its close.

    I’m sure this will get some special editions too and I truly cant wait to see what all of them look like as well.

      I’m sure that you’re right and there will be more delicious covers.

    This is a tough choice. I hadn’t seen the UK cover before, it’s lovely. Sorry but I can’t pick!

    This is really a hard one! I think I marginally prefer the first one, but it’s a close thing!

      The first one is beautiful and I love the colours.

    I prefer the yellow cover one and it’s art style. Hope you enjoy this novel.

    Definitely that one! The unicorn is so much more prominent and draws the eye.

    I heard the e-galleys should be available soon!

      OMG – I must pray to the book gods to bless me with a copy!
