The Friday Face-Off – Feathers

The Friday Face-Off was created by Books by Proxy, where each week bloggers can showcase books with covers centered around a weekly theme. You can visit Lynn’s Books for a list of upcoming themes. Join in the fun each Friday by finding a book whose cover is based on the theme!

This week’s theme: “The haft of the arrow had been feathered with one of the eagle’s own plumes.” – A cover featuring feathers.

This was an easy week! I immediately thought of an older Alma Katsu book, The Reckoning, which is book #2 in her Taker series. This series is really good if you love dark romantic fantasy! Take a look at some of the covers:

U.S. edition 2012 | Indonesian edition 2016

UK (?) Century edition 2012 | UK Arrow edition 2013

Hungarian edition 2013 | Czech edition 2015

I’m not sure about the two UK editions, I believe they’re UK? I think all these covers are really pretty! It’s tough to choose a favorite. I think because I gravitate towards color, I’m going to have to go with the Indonesian edition, although I love the original U.S. one as well!

But let me know which is your favorite!

  1. Yeah, well those two UK covers… especially the second one. It just doesn’t give out “dark and sexy” vibes to be fair πŸ˜€

  2. There are some really pretty covers here – though I don’t know quite why the girl in the black dress on the UK cover looks as if she’s about to launch herself into space… And the first thought that hit me – which came first – this book or Daughter of Smoke and Bone? Because whichever it was – someone has been snitching someone else’s cool idea for a cover! Great choice this week, Tammy:)).

      I checked! Looks like Daughter of Smoke and Bone came out first. It’s a great cover so I understand wanting to use it as inspiration:-)

  3. I agree all of these are pretty but I think I like the first one – the US edition, for the same reason you listed your choice – the colors. Plus I’m really liking the contrast of the pale skin against the red feathers.
