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.

第一集我從NetGalley拿到了ARC！相當感激！

首要事：這不是YA！這不是YA！這不是YA！

撇除個人觀感，我覺得也該相信一下出版社和作者的專業見解^{[作者Facebook文]}，也許，確實有年齡層較低的讀者也欣賞該作，也不會有人去禁止特定年齡的人閱讀，但是我覺得你要怎麼想是一回事啦（事實上我自己也是覺得這當YA也okay的）但是GR上的一大瑕疵，就是書籍頁面的genre會依使用者加書櫃的多寡顯示，也就會導致上面列的不盡然永遠正確（相信我，一堆輕小說被寫成是漫畫，真的很可笑）。如果你是根本沒看過這系列的人，誤加了young-adult/ya，考慮一下行行好，撤架吧！我覺得有時候讀者可能會忘記自己年紀有在增長的這個無可避免事實，如果你因為你自己喜歡就覺得這也YA啊，啊然後自己其實已經超過25歲，請factor一下也許你自己能接受的範圍已超出所謂的YA也不一定。

這部有跟我稍微互動過的網友大概可以感覺到我沒事就會推這部哈哈。已經到狂熱的境界了（重點是要我講我為什麼愛我也講不清，這不是狂熱是什麼xD）我後兩本GR心得算有寫得比較多，這裡就先這樣囉。

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

Disclaimer, one you'd see on multiple posts The following section, basically a gallery of editions around the world with different book cover art, is largely inspired by treatments of fellow blogger Amethyst, who unfortunately hasn't done those types of blog posts for a while. 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

這個本來有望個別發文, 因為平裝封面不同（雖然超簡約）^{[Goodreads頁面1][2]}, 結果作者網站上說第三集沒打算出平裝= =

Kova 2022年比較低調，我因為有signed up for her newsletters，2022/10/13收到了一個天大的驚喜。我不知道她在幹嘛（喂喂）我記得她之前明明說對於先前平裝版沒出齊感到殘念的人，由於版權回到她手上了，有望可湊齊... 結果... 竟然是全新的封面xDDD


American English | 美式英文 （原版；已絕版）

由愛爾蘭籍繪師Nick Grey繪製^{[繪師官網]}。不要問我為什麼，我真的就是好喜歡這個原版QQ

American English | 美式英文 （2022平裝）

其實這新封面並不是只有用在平裝版上，是任何有販售版本都一起改了，但因為當時「告知好消息」是特別跟粉絲說當年沒齊全的平裝版可以齊了，就以平裝優先了。由越南籍繪師Hoàng Lập繪製^{[繪師Instagram]}。我沒有覺得不好看，但我就只是太愛原版了。可參考設計演變^{[繪師ArtStation一][二][三]}，超用心，蠻多不同構圖的！Cvareh（第二集）的我覺得最spot on，真的是隻愛fashion的一條龍xDDD（感覺因為被書名擋住了可能沒那麼明顯，但真的就是個在乎穿著的可愛人xP）。至於Flor（第三集），我懷疑應該是作者欽點才會是最後那張設計（廢話），我個人覺得沒被採用的最後一張圖，比較吻合角色病嬌屬性... 角色沒有到日系病嬌（？）那麼明顯，而且圖本身也頗正常甜美啊所以沒毛病（我只是可以聯想而已xP）（我真的最後超討厭Flor）（討厭到需要佔用這裡來寫xDDDDD）

American English | 美式英文 （Fox & Wit Exclusive）

QOTD: do you prefer a standalone, duology, or trilogy? Part 1 of 2 Loom Trilogy unboxing. We absolutely LOVED these...

Fox & Wit最早於2022年4月公佈會為此系列推出限定箱子^{[箱子Facebook文]}，不過後來陸續釋出的設計，我自己本人是沒有很心動（純粹是因為我太愛太愛原版了xDDDD）（需要再次強調）但還是為系列感到高興^{[箱子官網賣場]}，不過現在也已完售。裸書封由Riddle & Ravens設計^[Instagram]，可參考成品及設計演變^{[箱子Facebook文]}。書衣由德裔繪師Christin Engelberth繪製^{[繪師官網]}，可參考成品及設計演變^{[箱子Facebook文]}。
