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：兩集都入圍Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction（2017和2018）


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

以下涵蓋15款外加1推銷，記得看全文以觀賞喔 >:3

American English | 美式英文


British English | 英式英文


British English | 英式英文 （平裝）


hrvatski | Croatian | 克羅埃西亞文


magyar | Hungarian | 匈牙利文


bahasa Indonesia | Indonesian | 印尼文


italiano | Italian | 義大利文


polski | Polish | 波蘭文


português do Brasil | Brazilian Portuguese | 巴西葡萄牙文 （2024平裝版）

巴西葡萄牙文最初是採用美版封面，2024年出新版。附帶一提，GR上貌似沒看到本來有葡萄牙的葡萄牙文版，2024年剛好也出了，不過更新當下還沒有第二集。

српски / srpski | Serbian | 塞爾維亞文


español | Spanish | 墨西哥西班牙文

西班牙文版本，老實說我不是很清楚到底其他西班牙語國家買不買得到這版，但明確有標示墨西哥，所以只有它是確定的xDD

原本第一集是用英版封面，第二集換封面的時候，GR並沒有第一集變換的資訊，是2023年才瞄到有人幫忙新增了！

Türkçe | Turkish | 土耳其文


British English | 英式英文 （Illumicrate Exclusive）

We are delighted to announce, in collaboration with Laini Taylor and Hodderscape, our Illumicrate Exclusive: Strange the...

Posted by Illumicrate on Wednesday, July 26, 2023

由Carlos Quevedo繪製^{[繪師官網]}，然後繪師官網其實是有放平面封面的^{[繪師官網一][二]}（且含純原圖），只是GR上目前還沒有人幫忙建頁面而已。書衣封面的標題文字由Jane Tibbetts設計^{[繪師Instagram]}，同時也是書衣底下直接印製於精裝上的設計者^{[繪師Instagram文一][二]}。

American English | 美式英文 （LitJoy Exclusive）

GR目前封面感覺有色差，可參考箱子官方網站提供的照片^{[LitJoy賣場]}。這套封面是由Tom Roberts^{[繪師官網]}作畫、可參考看看此特別版的照片^{[繪師Instagram文]}。

American English | 美式英文 （OwlCrate Exclusive）

賣點對某些人來說可能是裏書衣，可參考箱子官方網站提供的照片^{[OwlCrate賣場]}。這套封面是由No0ne Designs^[官網]設計（採用paperbackbones的設計理念）、可參考看看此特別版的照片^{[No0ne Designs Instagram文]}。裏書衣由Golden Rose^{[繪師Linktree]}作畫、可參考看看原圖^{[繪師Instagram文一][二]}。

BONUS - DUST JACKET ONLY

American English | 美式英文 （Fox & Wit Exclusive）
同樣是至少書背有書名（請參見foxandwit @ Instagram的分享^{[照片由@beauty_in_books17提供]}），所以決定可以列哈哈。這套書衣是由Kira Night^{[繪師官網]}作畫、可參考看看此書衣部分原圖^{[繪師Instagram文一][二]}。書衣本身我沒有覺得超好看（被揍死），但覺得終於有不一樣的、使用角色當封面的這點很不錯xDDDD 不過跟諸多僅書衣版本的情況類似，其實我是覺得negative space很夠在封面本身也加標個書名和作者說xP

嗯。不列在正式出版的版本，是因為這個真的本來就是只有書衣。想附上Instagram上我覺得能好好看到這書衣包起書來實際長什麼樣子的連結，目前是有透過別的管道找到但因為我自己本身沒帳號所以有追溯有點困難xD 希望之後有空會弄。最後最後，當然就是得放上什麼來代表這版本，所以鑲嵌由繪師分享比較能一次看、拿來比較的書衣圖：
