The Friday Face-Off: Fairytale Retelling

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: Fairytale retelling

Oh so many choices this week! I’ve decided to go with House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig, a YA fantasy retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses. This was a mixed bag for me, I enjoyed parts but had issues with some elements, but I do love the covers, and I was able to find four to share today.

2019 U.S. edition | 2020 Italian edition

2021 German edition | 2021 Slovak edition

You can tell this is a very dark story by how dark most of the covers are. I like all of these, but for my favorite I’m sticking with the original U.S. edition, which has such a detailed cover if you look closely. Plus that font!


Which cover do you like best?

  1. I like your pick, too, and I had no idea of the details until you mentioned it and I zoomed in. It certainly does help establish the setting, or at least what I would imagine the setting to be.
