To celebrate 20 years since the release of Assassin's Apprentice, Harper Voyager UK have given Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy a brand spanking new look!
How awesome are these covers? The books I own (or rather my Dad owns) have really old covers, and new ones have been out since then. And now they have these gorgeous covers! I think I prefer the covers I have, but these new ones are brilliant, and give such a courtly look - you can imagine a court scribe writing the titles on old parchment. I love them! What do you think?
Be sure to read my review of The Farseer Trilogy.
I really enjoyed these books when I borrowed them from the library, but never bought my own copies. Then they changed the covers and I thought the new editions looked very dull and disappointing. I might buy these ones when they come out, though (call me fickle!) but I like the old style covers best.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I love the original covers too, they were just so pretty! The ones before these new ones are a bit blah. They don't really tell you anything about the stories. But it's Hobb, so I've been getting them for the Rain Wild Chronicles :)
DeleteI love that book cover. Those colors are so rich. Wouldn't mind owning that :)
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful, right?! I love them!
