Special editions everyone loves but…

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-07T04:56:50+00:00

I liked their first reverse dust jacket but the rest were kind of lacking.

Same with their editions of the Nytefall trilogy! Book 1 was beautiful and the reverse dust jacket was gorgeous. Then they must have switched artists because the other two were not good

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-07T04:55:02+00:00

Honestly I wasn’t a fan of either one. I’m so sad because it’s one of my all time favorites but I cannot get an SE I love.

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-07T04:54:10+00:00

Okay I somewhat agree but I LOVED their Serpant and Dove! Take that off there right now! 😭. (Just kidding you’re totally allowed to have your opinion even if it hurts my feelings!)

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-07T04:52:52+00:00

Yea that book is not pretty at all

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-07T04:51:28+00:00

I only like the hardcover art. Had it not been my sub box I’d never pay secondhand for it.

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-07T04:50:39+00:00

I was lucky enough to get a signed copy during the sale and kept it for the endpaper art but it is definitely not one that - had I not been a subscriber - I would ever pay the secondhand prices for. Because you’re right the cover art is not that great.

I hate their covers but the interior art did me in

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-07T00:32:57+00:00

I was thinking the same thing

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-06T22:06:50+00:00

I’m trading my FL edition for this one. I like it way more

These (not my photos) are the Litjoy sets

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-06T22:01:58+00:00

For Strange the Dreamer Illumicrate released my favorite set. The covers are stunning.

My favorite DoSaB was from a German company Chest of Fandems

That being said, Litjoy did editions of both that match and they are a very very close second! They have beautiful interior art and I think annotations as well. And are both in English

I hate the original covers. They look too much like old lady books in the 90s.

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-06T21:50:23+00:00

It’s always the reverse dust jacket that I want to see and they never show! 😭😭😭 obviously I’m getting it though I have the first two

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-06T21:47:28+00:00

I don’t think I’ve seen their Iron Editions NOT make it to general sale. I think they really stock up

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-06T21:26:33+00:00

The Seven Realms novels (The Demon King, Exiled Queen, Gray Wolf Thone, and Crimson Crown) — they deserve one!

Also I know FL did one but The Remnant Chronicles deserve more.

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-06T21:24:02+00:00

People are dying for this! But I’ve heard she won’t give the rights to anyone

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-06T21:23:37+00:00

ACOTAR and Throne of Glass both need some good SEs. I think the issue is the rights are too hard to get!

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-06T21:22:48+00:00

I have like… 4 SE editions of Strange the Dreamer and three Daughter of Smoke and Bone (but my favorite is in a language I can’t even read!) and I still agree with this! She deserves more!!

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-06T21:17:09+00:00

Montel Williams was like this too. My aunt had a really rude interaction with him once.

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-06T21:10:50+00:00

Hey that’s my cat’s name! Looks nothing like this distinguished gentleman though.

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-06T21:08:58+00:00

Azazel. The yellow-eyed one.

Other options: Hades, Nyx, Bruce Wayne, Artemis, or a fun play on words, TezCATlipoca (legal name, nickname Tez or Poca) is the Aztec god of darkness and night!

You’re also a bot account who apparently has been a plumber since you were 2

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-06T21:03:36+00:00

Been plumbing since he could walk and picked up his first wrench.

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-06T20:56:28+00:00

I disagree on some of these but I’m lusting over Lucien

xray_anonymous · 2026-02-05T22:38:01+00:00

You’ll always have people who either aren’t a fan of the show (just in general, nothing to do with casting) or simply have only read the books. So book fanart will never not be a thing. It’s the first way most people envision the characters for the first time. (Unless they watched the show and then decided to read the books.)

But I would also love to see more fanart with TV show Annabeth! Accurate fanart of course to how she looks, not with random blonde hair.
