Friday Face Off (7) - Pirates


So I'm back with another round of Friday Face Off, which originated over at  by Books by Proxy.

“I’m disinclined to acquiesce to your request.” – A cover featuring Pirate


1. English - 2012
2. German - 2013
3. Spanish - 2012


4. Italian - 2012
5. Portuguese - 2012
6. Persian - 2016

So I read "Cinder" back in 2012 when it was new.  It may be a stretch but I do recall some space pirates.  I liked it well enough and always intended to continue on. Well, you know what they say about good intentions...

So I think favorites are the original (#1) and the Italian (#4).  I'm really disliking the white slipper for some reason. It just looks off to me.  

So which is your favorite???

    I didn't realise this had space pirates - how intriguing. And, my favourite is the first, the red slipper is more appealing.
    I never got round to reading this series - even though everyone seemed to love it - the best intentions indeed.
    Lynn :D

      I think it does - I found mention of them on a list. It's been so long since I read it so I hope I'm not completely off base.

      That white shoe looks weird right? Makes me wonder what was wrong with the original red.

    I had forgotten there were pirates in Cinder! I love both the Italian and Persian covers.

      The Persian one is kind of cool and I think would appreciate it more if it was in person.

      I sort of think the original is more classic and represents the fairy tale retelling pretty good.

    I like the Persian cover for the colour and the way it fits the fairy tale itself. The original cover is decent too.

    I put off reading CINDER for a long time because of the cover. I ended up loving it, but the cover made the book look too sci fi for me. My favorite of these covers is the Persian one, even though it doesn't really reflect what the book's about. It's pretty, though!

      I like sci-fi but have only dabbled with it. I'm trying to read more.

    I like the original English cover the best, but frankly... I don't really care for any of them. 😏

    Still on my list to read. I like the original but oh the Portuguese one is calling to me, too :)
