The Friday Face-Off is a meme initially created by Books by Proxy and is now hosted over at Lynn’s Books. The idea is to compare a book’s different covers with a specific theme each week.

This week’s theme is a cover from a book featuring assassins: “If they wanted Adarlan’s Assassin, they’d get her. And Wyrd help them when she arrived.” This week’s book is Three Assassins by Kotaro Isaka.

And the winner is… COVER A!

It’s the three masks that do it for me. They are inherently creepy. The sprawling cityscape adds something I can’t explain but makes for an intriguing cover.

What are your thoughts? Do you agree with my winner, or does one of the others work better for you? Let me know in the comments!

Next week’s theme is a cover that depicts the cold: “Nothing burns like the cold.”
