Disclaimer, one you'd see on multiple posts As I struggled to decide which book series to cover overviews for, it dawned to me that I'd never get started at this rate. It became clear to me that, it's rather unlikely for me to use this blog as my "main" reviewing spot since I have Goodreads for that, and chances of someone miraculously stumbling across this blog out of the countless ones out there, is just rather slim, therefore, I'd put up links to my GR reviews (in English,) and this post would be in Chinese for people who are curious about the series but either aren't comfortable with or just don't prefer reading in English. Please also note that, sometimes I don't have time to write actual reviews, HOWEVER, I do always put down thoughts when I document my reading status updates, so for GR desktop users, remember to scroll down if it appears to contain little, it'd be under the quotes I liked from that book (when applicable lol;) for mobile app users, remember to switch to "Reading Activity," which would not be the default as "Review" is.

Goodreads Choice Award：第一集入圍Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction

先說，可喜可賀的是，終於有官方測驗^{["What type of other-born are you?" @ Penguin Teen]}讓我測出不悲慘的答案啦😂 我好欣慰😝 然後，我只能說，原來我真的跟希臘神話很不熟，因為單純覺得是奇幻偵探片（？）。但是，出版社真的很敢喔！打包票PJ粉會喜歡耶^{["5 Things Percy Jackson Fans Will Love in THREADS THAT BIND" @ Penguin Teen]}！PJ我到現在還沒看，所以請自行評估可信度～

The actual review is, as usual, WIP, but like I said above, getting the post out there first.

Please DO NOT mistaken the following to be all existing editions; I'm only including completed sets with matching designs. All clickable images are linked to respective editions on GR; people, shelving correct editions ain't that hard. Highly recommend accurate shelving. =D

British English | 英式英文

封面由Corey Brickley^{[繪師Bēhance]}繪製，可參考原圖細節^{[繪師事務所作品集頁面(第一集)][繪師Twitter文(第二集)]}～英版和美版封面相同，會擺英版純粹是因為作者自介說她目前是倫敦跟希臘兩邊跑。生於希臘，本來看到希臘版也是這個封面還考慮了一下，但是看到竟然有譯者😂 大概代表她還是先用英文寫的吧？而且第二集我發文當下好像還沒出，所以就是英版了嗯。色才運用很有這位繪師的過往風格👍，喔然後，背景可以說有小彩蛋（希臘神話動物）。

American English | 美式英文 （OwlCrate Exclusive）

第一集是OwlCrate 2023年於6月寄送出的收藏箱子的選書^{[箱子官網（此文僅公佈主題）]}，第二集則於2024年4月公佈^{[箱子官網]}。封面由Lichen & Limestone^[官網]設計。嘛，客觀來講，可以說這版封面有比較多對劇情的提示，但我覺得不知道要注意的人，就還是不知道xDDDD（與希臘文化有關這一點... 那些柱子😅）

Goodreads Choice Award：兩集都入圍Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction（2023和2024）（2024年獎項名稱改為「Readers' Favorite Young Adult Fantasy」但應該就是承接以前項目啦，還超誇張把以前的也都改掉，明明以前就是有「& Science Fiction」的部份！）

同世界觀：The Folk of the Air

這部時間點應該是前作的九年後。

作者2022年6月分享此延伸系列的消息^{[作者Facebook文]}。

American English | 美式英文

封面與前作相同，由Sean Freeman繪製。

British English | 英式英文 （FairyLoot Exclusive）

本來希望等實體書寄出後有購買者能提供ISBN再列（我好龜毛xD） 但看到有人在GR上建頁面了，就列上來囉！這個版本就跟這箱子為前作所製的版本差異相當大，印象中上次沒有書衣？只有色系相當聖誕節的裸封面😅目前還沒看到這版拿掉書衣底下的樣子～有內幕者歡迎提供喔！箱子的官方資訊^{[箱子官網一][二]}～封面由波蘭籍繪師Magdalena Pągowska繪製^{[繪師ArtStation]}。我沒有覺得不好看，只是兩集長得有點像，讓我每次都要多看幾眼確認（被揍死）（就是如果沒有兩者擺在一起，我可能真的會以為是同一張圖）（被踹）

British English | 英式英文 （Illumicrate Exclusive）

We’re so thrilled to announce, in collaboration with @hotkeybooks and @hollyblack, our Illumicrate Exclusive edition of The Stolen Heir! We love The Folk of the Air trilogy and are so excited to offer you this stunning book, the first in a new duology set in the same world. pic.twitter.com/AZjgg6Pwtm

這個GR上面只有第一集有頁面而且還不是平面圖，本來想要等，但後來想想，我一堆非正式的書衣版本，都每集各別鑲嵌繪師提供的無標題版本了，這個有箱子提供的官方資訊，好像沒道理不比照辦理～～基本上跟這箱子為前作一樣，裸封面（？）設計只說是出版社提供的那樣～在想這個會不會也跟之前一樣，實體比示意圖好看很多？🤔（但願如此😂）而書衣也跟前次一樣，由Rosie Fowinkle^{[繪師官網]}以紙雕的型式製成。第一集的細節供參^{[繪師Instagram文]}～

Goodreads Choice Award：第一入圍Fantasy和Debut Novel！

恭喜這部成為我網誌重新啟用後，第二部「沒看」卻還發網誌的作品😂 還促使我發出另一篇原本累積在草稿的網誌😝 原先是真的有打算看；同世界觀的新書2024年2月上市，當時就規劃同年要把這部解決、甚至約好了buddy-read對象，我連這篇網誌下面封面都整理完、文字都寫好了，結果在作最後確認的時候注意到，作者的官網上面除了第2.5集，真的還有一本第3本，為了這件事情還和網友討論了一下，和小編鬼打牆了一番，但最後證明真的還會有一本，便確定了明年才會看xDDDDD。後來覺得不發白不發，等實際看了，網誌發佈的年份會再做調整囉！

以下涵蓋6款，記得看全文以觀賞喔 >:3
另外，其實還有另一套獨特封面的版本（伊朗），
但是作者官網上授權的語言並沒有列出，所以就先不放了。

British English | 英式英文

由現居英國的台灣裔繪師Jason Chuang繪製^{[繪師官網]}，封面就真的感覺得出來不是打YA市場（有種優雅感？），但我真的沒想到會是台灣人w 喔然後，題外話，作者是馬來西亞出生，但這系列卻沒有在馬來西亞賣？🙄️ 所以擺放順序我有糾結一下，以市場大小來說美國還是比較大，但作者的介紹寫有去英國（和法國）唸書，後現居香港，所以就優先放英國的啦～

American English | 美式英文

由中国裔繪師Kuri Huang繪製^{[繪師作品集]}，很美www 繪師構圖range頗廣，近期雖然接了不少亞洲風的作品，但其實我沒有認出來是同一位負責的（還認成別人😅）很厲害👍

繁體中文 （台灣） | Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)

封面與眾不同👍 這種最棒，不像某些國家愛自己出又幾乎跟原版一模一樣，到底用意在哪xDDD 由台灣繪師麻繩繪製^{[繪師Facebook][繪師Instagram]}，可參考看看無標題文字之原圖^{[繪師Instagram文一][二]}。真要挑骨頭大概可以說會因為風格被誤認為是輕小說或中国網路小說？但也不一定是扣分啦，吸引不同閱讀群眾也不錯～
