Friday Face Off is a weekly meme created by Books by Proxy, and run by Lynn’s Book Blog. You can check out all my past Friday Face Offs here.
Its been a few months since I’ve done a FFO post, but I thought it would be a fun way to end Wyrd & Wonder before I write my wrap up post!!
This weeks theme: Silhouette – an island, a person, anything you like
My Choice: Crooked Kingdom
I’m not sure if the Crow is silhouetted or just black, but there is a super tiny silhouette of the town along the bottom of the first two covers too!
Covers:
Orion Children’s Books 2016 | Knaur eBook 2018 | Orion Children’s Books 2019 | Milan 2017
Urban Reads 2017 | Gutenberg 2017 | Prometejs 2018 | Unknown
Least Favorites:

I’ve seen the left cover tons of times but I never before realized that the gaps between the cow’s feathers make buildings!
Winner:
I think I like the Knaur eBook 2018, but the one you selected is very eye catching.

That one was my second favorite and only very slightly behind the one I picked 😀

This is a perfect book! And I was immediately drawn to the Milan 2017 cover before I saw it was your favorite:-)

Great choice! There are a lot of good ones on here. I think the Orion Children’s Books edition might be my favorite, because I can imagine it looking amazing in real life with gold foil 🙂

Usually I love that artwork style so I was shocked that it didn’t make my top three, haha but there are a lot of good covers for this one 🙂

What a brilliant choice of book! And while I am VERY tempted with your choice, the colour junkie in me is drawn to the Knaur cover, which just pops with that gorgeous fire-orange backdrop…

Oh myyy. I hadn’t seen any alternative covers for Crooked Kingdom, and I’m really having some buyer’s remorse now that I know what’s out there. Also, slight remorse at not, in fact, speaking/reading any of these languages, but pfft, that’s obviously not the important thing. Pretty covers are what’s important!
Actually, I agree that your choice is my favorite, and that looks like French, right? I can read French! Hmm. *schemes how to get this cover copy* I also feel a little silly, because with how many times I’ve seen the US cover, I also never realized that the feathers were buildings. xD Obviously, my observational skills are top notch.

Haha especially if you have a version you can read already, then there is no real reason the second edition you buy has to be in a language you can read 😂😂
I used Google Translate Detect Language and it is french!! Maybe once all this Covid stuff is over you can travel to France to get it 😉 😀 And I’m glad I’m not the only one that didn’t notice the buildings in the feathers!
