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 series which I’ve read the first two books from and will be continuing with three and four at some point. Take a look at the covers and try and choose a favourite:
My favourite:
Which is your favourite this week?
Books and travelling with Lynn 
I love the style of these covers!! And I will pick the first one, too!
They are so lovely, it’s difficult to choose a favourite really, I adore all the little details.
Lynn 😀
I love this comparison. My favorite is A Plague of Serpents😁
Yes, I really like that one and in fact struggled to choose a favourite. I think Traitor in the Ice, being a recent read, was more in my mind and so just had the edge.
Lynn 😀
Traitor In The Ice is my favourite too, followed by The Drowned City. Rivers Of Treason feels a bit like the odd one out though. I know its the same style but I think its the lack of swirls (from waves & trees) 🤔
I agree. It doesn’t fit does it
Your pick wins, especially thanks to its little squirrel and fox! 😛
I know right. I love those little critters. 😊
This was so tough to choose! I like the second one, but yours is a really close second 🙂
