Top 10 best RotE covers

So my Top 10 worst RotE covers has been making the rounds again, and it reminded me that I had started a list of my 10 favourite covers. NGL it was much harder to find 10 covers I liked than it had been to find 10 really bad ones, but there are still some gems out there 💖

10. Assassin's Apprentice (Brazilian Portuguese)

This is where you can clearly see that I don't have much to work with in terms of good covers for this series. Do I love this? No. Is it generic-looking? Yes, but the stag and font look badass and the result is effective

9. Assassin's Quest (Turkish)

Nice and graphic, I really like the tile effect and this red is very striking.

8. Mad Ship (Romanian)

I'm not sure if the figurehead is supposed to be Paragon or Kendry, but they did take a risk and the result looks cool and very different from every other cover out there.

7. Royal Assassin (Polish)

What I really like about this one is that instead of looking badass and in charge like in most covers, this Fitz looks sad and lost, so the artist got that right. And the cloak that morphs into a trail of blood is 👌👌

6. Fool's Assassin (French)

Bee actually looks her age and there's a heartbreaking contrast between this small and lonely child and the pyre burning next to her. Very good one!

5. Ship of Magic (French)

Althea reaching out to a gorgeous and very dramatic-looking Vivicia with a mysterious atmosphere around them, yessss! Really cool and memorable

4. Fool's Errand (UK)

A classic, and this spot is for John Howe's covers in general. I don't love them all but there's a very unique and ethereal feel to his art, his use of colours is wonderful and there are always a lot of details to look at.

3. Fool's Errand (Japanese)

The Japanese editions for Tawny Man look unreal and it was extremely difficult to pick just one so again, this spot is for the whole set. So, so beautiful and imaginative!

2. City of Dragons (Czech)

I fell in love with this style as soon as I saw it. It looks absolutely fantastic, damn, look at this Alise and the stone statue behind her!! I love that all the covers from this edition of RWC focus on a different character instead of just showing random dragons. The artist has obviously read the books and it shows.

1. Fool's Quest (UK)

I am not just saying that because this is the edition I own, but Jackie Morris is the queen of RotE covers for me. I have nothing bad to say about her covers, they look stunning and they work extremely well as a set.

ALARIC STARK & ALYSANNE TARGARYEN (FACE CLAIM)—

"They are a non-canon couple, but they met and interacted when the queen visited Winterfell (58 AC) without the king (jaehaerys i)".

"The longer Queen Alysanne Targaryen stays at Winterfell, the warmer Lord Alaric Stark's attitude towards her becomes".

''However, he warmed to the queen, and eventually took her hunting in the wolfswood for elk and wild boar, and showed her the bones of a giant. He also allowed her to rummage as she pleased through him".

🪻Note: I read a lot of fan-fiction about them and it really got me hooked and also made them my favorite-ship. Their visual claims I chose is Queen Elizabeth Woodville (the White Queen) played by Rebecca Ferguson and a character from a Turkish historical series.

"The most recent incarnation of Roxelana, in the Turkish historical television series Muhteşem Yüzyıl [Magnificent Century], originally broadcast from 2011 to 2014, casts her as Aleksandra, daughter of a good priest, all of whose family is lain by her Tatar captors. And so she is likely to be remembered for now, for an estimated 150 million viewers worldwide have followed the series in dozens of languages. That Roxelana was and remains an object of such fascination is a testament to her extraordinary life."—Peirce, Leslie. Empress of the East: How a European Slave Girl Became Queen of the Ottoman Empire

[darklinaforever]

The Alicent Hightower from Fire and Blood is like those female antagonists of mother-in-law, mother, empress and or concubines from Asian or Turkish series.

We love to hate them. They're jerks but they're badass and know what they want and will do anything to get it. Somehow, despite our hatred, they inspire in us a form of respect.

That’s what Alicent Hightower was in the book.

A great villain.

A woman hungry for power who did everything to obtain it. A woman who shared her father's desires, but managed perfectly on her own to found her faction during the years when he was absent, therefore making her the leader, not Otto. A woman who has chosen the color of her faction. Who has actively sought to usurp Rhaenyra since she was named heir. A woman who led the Greens council.

In the series... she just a poor victim without complexity who always makes puppy eyes. A huge hypocrite and paranoid. Manipulated by his father, made paranoid by him. Took the color green simply because in this reality it's the color of his family. Complains that apparently no one is on his side during his father's absence at court. Was not the leader of the Green council, and was not even aware (apparently) of Rhaenyra's usurpation to put Aegon II on the throne.

She inspires no respect in us, and even less pity. She simply disgusts us...

Especially since the book version was 18 when she married Viserys and was very happy to be Queen, especially since she was in fact enormously loved and pampered by Viserys. Unlike the series where she is forced into marriage by her father, this time at the age of 15, and Viserys doesn't even like her.

I really have a hard time seeing the so-called more feminist aspect of HOTD for the character of Alicent... They made her a victim, a hypocrite and a paranoid. That's all. How is it better than the book version ?!

Throughout the pre-war period, Alicent in Fire and Blood was the villain, Rhaenyra's adversary. But once the war begins, things change and Aegon II becomes the main antagonist. No one can control it. So, what the hell are they going to invent to further include Alicent in the story of the series, knowing that they are only making her a perpetual victim ? I swear this series is tiring me out...

I love the Alicent in the book, and every time I see HOTD's version I want to pull my hair out. Especially since Olivia Cooke had the potential to make a truly great Alicent Hightower. (Also, damn the fact that she's a redhead like Sansa, help...)

In other words... Alicent, my beloved, you deserved better. You were the queen of bitches and now you are reduced to... almost nothing. It's sad.

What If Choices' Race-customizable LIs Had Surnames Reflective Of Their Ethnicity?: An Experiment Just For Fun (Part 3/3)

Info in Part 1

Part 2

THE PRINCESS SWAP

Derya

This is a special case and not only because Clarke doesn't have a canon surname: the top row of face options are described in the asset files as "Middle Eastern" and the bottom row are described as "Caucasian". Caucasian is used in the U.S. interchangeably with "white" even though the Caucasus region is in east Europe/west Asia and can be interpreted to encompass parts of Turkey.

Clarke's family members (including parents of both face options) all have Turkish names and if I’m remembering correctly, it’s heavily implied in the text and art that their country is based on Turkey. Which makes the name Clarke really confounding. I wanted to replace it with a Turkish name but I couldn’t find anything that sounded remotely similar. So I chose the unisex name Derya because I like how it sounds!!!!!

Devin Rhee

These face options are described in the asset files as “Asian”. The masc face option’s haircut leaves me no choice but to headcanon him (and by extension the fem face option) as Korean. What the extremely common Korean surname Rhee lacks in being spelled similar to Wright, it makes up for in sounding kinda like Wright. If you were hearing it spoken from another room. Lmao

QUEEN B

Ian Wang / Ina Wang

These face options are described in the asset files as “Asian”. As discussed in Part 1, there are not a lot of sound matches in Asian languages or Spanish for King(sley). I did read a theory online that this LI’s name comes from the fact that they’re the counterpart to the MC who is the titular queen of the series, so I went with the thematic route and chose the surname Wang, which means “king” in Chinese and Korean. The fem face option reminds me of several Korean women I know so I headcanon these face options as Korean, although Wang is a rare surname in Korea whereas it is one of the most common (if not thee most common?) surnames in China. So I guess they could also be Chinese?

Ian Reyes / Ina Reyes

These face options are described in the asset files as “Hispanic”. Same as above, not too many Spanish sound matches, king/queen themes and motifs, etc., so I chose the Spanish surname Reyes which means “kings”.

ROOMMATES WITH BENEFITS

Drew Yáñez

This one was so hard lmao. These face options are described in the asset files as "Hispanic" and there were not a lot of Spanish-language surnames that are a sound match for Young.

Drew Yadao

Also a hard one! These face options are described in the asset files as "Asian" which is really broad, and they don't look "typically" East Asian to me or like any East Asian person I know. The masc one reminds me of someone I know who's Filipino so I'm going with that for my headcanon. Again not a lot of sound matches for Young just like in general, and I decided on the Ilocano surname Yadao because it was one of the only Filipino surnames I could find that started with a Y.

SHIP OF DREAMS

Theodore Kassavetis / Theodora Kassavetis

These face options are described in the asset files as "Mediterranean", although the wiki does note that there's a scene where they say they're Greek. So I initially decided on the Greek surname Karakostas since it kept the "K-AR-T" sound pattern from Carter but then I changed my mind and gave them the surname Kassavetis because I like John Cassavetes the Greek-American director.

SURRENDER

Reagan Tong

These face options are described in the asset files as "Asian". The "th" sound in Thorne that's found in very few other languages like come on now don't piss me off. These face options honestly give Vietnamese to me but I couldn't find any Vietnamese surnames that matched Thorne and the Cantonese surname Tong sounded closer in my opinion.

UNBRIDLED

Ryder Villanueva

The face option on the left is described in the asset files as "Hispanic", and the one on the right is described as "Filipino". A unique situation here as many people in the Philippines have Spanish-language surnames and some speak Spanish due to Spain's historical colonization of the Philippines, meaning "Hispanic" can sometimes apply to Filipinos. We're touching on a complicated issue of using "Hispanic" as an ethnic descriptor but this post is not the place to discuss that. Sooooo since Spanish does not traditionally use the letter W (?) there aren't any Spanish-language surnames starting with W, and the only surname from a Filipino language starting with W that I cound find was Wenceslao which I didn't think was a good match for Wilson. So we're going with the Spanish Villanueva which has the initial "il" sound . Also means "new house" which I think is thematically appropriate for this book? Idk I don't have VIP so I can't play it yet and I just read the summary.
