I’m not gonna lie … I didn’t realize there were so many different covers for this. I probably wouldn’t have chosen it, but by the time I realized it, I was already committed!
Least Favorites:
Did anyone else play with Word Art in Microsoft Word when you were a kid? The last cover here reminds me of that! See look:
Favorites:
Its going to be super hard to pick a winner! I love all these covers so much!!
Winner:
I love the font and the watercolor picture and how it is simple and empty and bleak.
Which is your favorite? Do you agree with my choice? Let me know in the comments!!
So many to choose from! Of all of them, my eye went to the Argo 2017 edition though. That pretty stag!

I don’t have the OwlCrate edition but that box is one of the reasons I subscribed to OwlCrate!! Everyone was taking pictures of it and it looked so cool!! I ordered the Wicked King special box and I am super excited!

Wow that’s a lot of covers. I like your pick. I couldn’t help look at some of them and think they’d be better for the later books- like the desert for when we see Dorne in Feast 🙂

There were so many things going on in those books and I read them all one after the other, so they all blur together. I couldn’t tell you what happens in one book or another! But I see what you mean!
