Least Favorites:
It was actually hard to pick my least favorite because there were a lot that I didn’t really like but none that I flat out hated.
Favorites:
This is a first for Friday Face-Off for me. I don’t have an English Cover in my favorites. Even if I were to pick my top 10 favorites only one of them would be in English. This is the first time I have hands down liked the foreign covers way better!
Winner:
I really like that this one looks like it was painted!
Which is your favorite? Do you agree with my choice? Let me know in the comments!!
Perfectly Tolerable 
Oh my goodness – I had no idea there were so many different covers for The Name of the Wind – though I suppose I should have realised, given how successful it is. Your choice is certainly very pretty – but I’ve given my heart to the cover of the book that we own and I actually read, which is the Gollancz 2008 version. Lovely to have you joining in the Friday Faceoff fun, Britteny:)

Ooooo all those covers are gorgeous!! It looks like my copy is the DAW Books, Inc 2008 version, ironically my least favorite. I’m hyped to read it though.

Wow, so many! I like 1, 4 and 18 the best. The one you picked is really pretty…it’s just not as moody as I felt the book was 🙂

I didn’t really like 1, but I like 4 and 18! Thats a good point I am not entirely sure I have read this one yet, and if I did then I don’t remember what it was about haha. So I was going purely on looks and not it being related to the story.

That is a lot of covers and I mainly like them. I do like your pick but I also like that DAW Books, Inc 2008 one I’ve seen everywhere. I think maybe I just like the dark clouds 🙂

I wanted to choose this as well, but then I realized I had already used this book on another Friday Face Off, but great choice! There are SO many covers. I still love the Daw 2007 which is the edition I own:-)

Wow, these covers are so different. What country is the one you selected from? I like the last one in the top row, the blue one. It really caught my eye. Great post Brittany.

According to google translate the language is Finnish so probably Finland? But maybe Sweden? The last one in the top row is the one I own! 😀

Finland sounds probably then.

Hmm, I don’t have a clear favorite this week, as there are many that are pretty good. I know which ones I wouldn’t choose though. I’ve never really liked the edition I have, which is the original US cover. And I also think the 10th anniversary edition is so creepy!

I’m not a huge fan of the original cover and the 10th anniversary edition is super creepy!

Such a lot of covers for this book – easy to see how popular it is. I actually like your choice, it’s the one that appealed to me the most on my initial scroll through. I like the colours and the feel of it.
