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（2023和2024）且兩集都是贏家！（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！）

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6款外加1推銷，記得看全文以觀賞喔 >:3

American English | 美式英文

老實說，我真的覺得美版封面超陽春（翻譯：沒魅力不好看），還很自以為大家都會這樣想xDDDD 和網友聊的時候才發現不是xP 我領悟力沒那麼強，應該說，沒放大看的時候，我真的沒看懂為什麼標題要用到兩種字體... 後來是因為看到OwlCrate特別版（正在等平面圖源和GR頁面詳見下方）才終於茅塞頓開（笑死）原來那不是隨便莫名其妙的圓圈，而是打字機的鍵盤按鍵啦😂。基於打字機在此作品的重要性，理解是按鍵之後多少能體會封面設計的用心，但並沒有改觀就是了xDDDD

British English | 英式英文

相較美版，我個人覺得英版比較明顯YA（甚至可能是偏低年齡層的）～繪師為Kelley McMorris^{[繪師官網]}、可參考看看此書衣原圖特寫^{[繪師Instagram文一][二]}。繪師同時也負責FairyLoot限定版的封面（正在等平面圖源和GR頁面詳見下方）。

српски / srpski | Serbian | 塞爾維亞文

我真的還是要講一下，人家賽爾維亞多大方，打字機就好好完完整整的秀出來是個打字機，我真的不懂美版在隱晦什麼xP

American English | 美式英文 （The Bookish Box Exclusive Luxe）

We have been spoiled this week with all these amazing Exclusive Luxe Edition cover reveals and I am here to tell you we...

Posted by The Bookish Box on Tuesday, February 6, 2024

The Bookish Box於2024年2月公布此特別版的消息跟所含內容（如上方鑲嵌），封面由義大利籍繪師Giulia Valentini所出^{[繪師Instagram][繪師Tumblr]}。這個版本我相當相當沒有共鳴（被揍），但是endpapers和stenciled edges上面的字，還是有用心到，這是男女主寫給對方的信件內容喔！原汁原味！還沒看這系列的人不妨先試著看信件內容，如果沒興趣... 大概就很難有興趣因為這兩人通信內容有佔一定比例xDDD

British English | 英式英文 （FairyLoot Exclusive）

第一集是FairyLoot 2023年於5月寄送出的收藏箱子的選書^{[FairyLoot @ Twitter（此推僅公佈主題）]}，第二集則是同年11月時公佈^{[箱子官網]}、可參考看看此書衣原圖特寫^{[繪師Instagram文一][二]}。我真的真的真的覺得這個版本更符合作品意境！可能是因為黑白有時代感xDDD 而且構圖也比較讓人有感覺男女主兩人有點相隔兩地。然後插一個不太重要但我想炫耀的資訊（其實真的輪不到我驕傲笑死）繪師Kelley McMorris跟我唸同大學，不認識，純粹看她官網發現的xP

American English | 美式英文 （OwlCrate Exclusive）

（GR好心人士幫建的頁面第二集顏色有點色差，建議還是要看一下官方圖片）如果你跟我一樣追蹤資訊來自Facebook跟Twitter，那OwlCrate的真的很容易錯過。第一集是OwlCrate 2023年於5月寄送出的收藏箱子的選書^{[OwlCrate @ Facebook（此文僅公佈主題）]}，2023年6月的文開放底下留言挑戰才看得到書長什麼樣子^{[OwlCrate @ Facebook]}，第二集則是Facebook完全失職零訊息，但其實同年11月時公佈^{[箱子官網][箱子Instagram文]}。封面由波蘭籍繪師Renata Krawczyk繪製^{[繪師Bēhance]}，部份設計由Lichen & Limestone負責^[官網]。我是真的喜歡這版大於美版原版一億倍xDDDDD 封面資訊量大多了呢！

Officially Licensed Ruthless Vows (Letters of Enchantment #2) by Rebecca Ross (@beccajross) Dust Jacket Reveal 🖋️✨ Art...

Posted by Iridescent Fairytale Shop on Wednesday, August 7, 2024

請看正式公告^{[官網][Etsy]}。書衣由wavyhues作畫，有浮水印但無標題的圖源供參^{[繪師Instagram文]}～基本上，我不喜歡這版本抱歉😂覺得真的超級反烏托邦感，但奇妙的是，這部的很大一部分背景確實是戰爭，所以也不能說完全離題，只是我覺得超明顯的愛情故事（浪漫的那一種），這封面沒有給我那種感覺。
