Welcome to The Friday Face-Off, a new weekly meme hosted at Books by Proxy. Every Friday two books will be lined up to be judged solely on their covers (that thing we are never supposed to do, but you know we all do it!) You can find a list of upcoming themes at Lynn’s Book Blog
This weeks theme: a cover that is positively mediaeval
So, with epic fantasy, there a re a ton to choose from, but I immediately thought of Irenicon by Aidan Harte. Since there is only one cover available, I decided to compare the covers from the series.
My choice: Sticking with my original pick, though I debated a bit with the omnibus cover which is essentially the same just purple instead if teal. But it has the castle and the cavalry and the banner. Even the horse is all decked out.
Which one is your favorite? What cover/book immediately comes to mind for this weeks topic?
Oh yes – that first cover is fabulous. As regards the others, I quite like the solitary horseman, but I’m thoroughly over distraught females in swirling cloaks…
distraught females on the cover is kind of a deterrent, swirly capes or no

I also like the first cover – although I also liked the purple.
Lynn 😀
Yep, the purple is nice

I agree with the cover you picked, but I really really love the cover art for this entire series. It’s all so colorful and fun!

I liked the first one immediately. Then I spotted the last one with the purple background. Either one would make me pause and take a look at them.

The omnibus cover might be the same as the first book recolored, but I actually think the purple works better!

I was really torn between the two 🙂

I like that one too. the others aren’t bad but that one and the omnibus (I can’t decide which i like more- the teal or the purple) are my faves.
