My Choice: Daughter of the Pirate King

I’m super excited for this topic! I love pirates 😀 And I know where the topic quote came from! (I almost never recognize the quote)

Covers:

Feiwel & Friends ARC | Feiwel & Friends 2017 | Book Club 2018 (Russian) | Filia 2019 (Polish)

Least Favorite:

39321481._SY475_

I love the ships and the title, but the girl doesn’t look anything like I pictured Alosa to look like, so it ruins the whole cover.

Favorites:

This is going to be a super tough decision! I love the cover on the left because it is the edition I own and got signed by Tricia Levenseller at Denver Comic Con, but the one on the right is so pretty!

Winner:

45246520

As much as it pains me not to pick the original cover, this one is just to pretty! I love it.

Which is your favorite? Do you agree with my choice? Let me know in the comments!!

  1. This is a book I keep meaning to get around to reading as I love sea adventures. And yes – i completely agree with your choice – what a fantastic cover! As for the girl on your least favourite selection – am I the only one who looked at it and wondered why she had ships for legs?

  2. I do love that Polish cover with the hidden details in the colors. I also liked the Russian cover, probably because I didn’t read this book so have no idea what I would picture her to look like. I would rather have seen a drawing than a model that looks so polished though.

  3. What a fun cover to compare! I agree with you on least favorite. There’s something about the girl that doesn’t fit with the story idea. I kind of like the first cover. A little less blood than on the second one! Your winner is very pretty!
