The Friday Face-Off is a meme created byBooks by Proxy with a current list of themes to be found over at Lynn’s Books. The idea is to compare the different covers of a book with each week being a certain theme.
This weeks theme is: “Moonlight drowns out all but the brightest stars.” – a cover featuring a starry sky.
For my choice this week I have chosen:
The Warded Man (The Demon Cycle #1) by Peter V. Brett.
Known as The Painted Man in the UK.
Lots of covers this week to choose from. Some similar and some vastly different! As there is quite the selection I am choosing two as my favourites! The French cover as it has a kick-ass huge Demon on it (though Arlen doesn’t look like Arlen to me) and the Serbian cover as I feel it is atmospheric and awesome (it also actually fits the starry night theme).
Thoughts?? Agree?? Disagree??

Love the theme this week. I think my favorite is also the Serbian edition. Bonus for cloaked and hooded guy on cover as well. 😉

You’re right – that is one of the best demons I’ve ever seen on a cover – but it’s SUCH a shame they then decided to add Harry Potter, instead of the Warded Man! But for sheer drama and excitement – that would be the one to go for…

Ha, Harry Potter! Definitely doesn’t look like Arlen and, yeah, I can see it now Arlen Potter!😂

I like the Serbian one as well. Also the two green covers in second row. I am partial to the German one…it’s different…more demure (not sure if that matches the content) but I still like it 🙂

Demure?? Oh my, no, doesn’t match the content then again I chose the cover with the kickass Demon and the human that looks nothing like the main character.😂😂😂

I like the French cover but definitely needs a different Arlen. I really enjoyed this series of books.

I like the 4th one in the first column and the 4th one in the second column. They kind of have that traditional scifi adventure feel to them! Great choice this week 🙂

Haha, I would have chosen the French one as well, until you mentioned the Arlen. Wtf is that. They just inserted a random dude in a red cape?! Could have at least taken a bald guy! Put some effort into it, guys, damn it 😀
I am digging the one with this alien-bug-demon gently scratching Arlen’s back 😀

I’m partial to the green cover with the moon and the dude with his shirt off… I also like the blue cover with the night sky you chose as well 🙂

The French covers always seem to be so good. I like your other choice as well although it does put me in mind of the Rothfuss Name of the Wind cover somehow.
Lynn 😀
