Swedish covers 1:
I really love these covers; they're clean, detailed, and original.

Swedish covers 2:
They tried to print it in paperback in Sweden but I don't think it was a big hit, at least not with this cover. I don't mind it, but I like the originals better.

English covers 1:
You do RIGHT in copying the awesome flawless Swedish covers!

English covers 2:
I have complained about this before but please let noses exist peacefully in this world. No blurring, no shading light, no nonsense. Don't let Voldemort set the beauty standard! Other than that, I like the cool eyes and the general aesthetic, even though they basically just consist of faces.

German covers:
Nice! But! More difference please!

Latvian covers:
Woah, pretty scary. Preferably keep this far away from me. Call security!

Estonian covers:
I actually don't mind, despite the inconsistency. I like the title styling.

Hebrew covers:
If only a little more creativity had been put into this... think of all those artists out there, who are looking for jobs, wanting to work on something unique and creative. Somebody could have done this so well, but instead somebody else put this together. I feel like this is the case with a lot of book cover series; where are all those talented people at and who's taking their jobs??

French covers:
Movie cover for the first book! Haven't seen that anywhere else; tbh the movie wasn't a big hit. I feel that these covers stray from the atmosphere of the series, but otherwise they're ok.

Turkish covers 1:
I like it! Sticking to the spirit of the original covers, but still doing its own thing.

Turkish covers 2:
Fun fact; "halka" in Swedish means "slip". These covers are a bit plain, but it could be worse.

Italian covers:
We all live in a burning submarine.. burning submarine... burning submarine!


This has been an overview of the different covers of the series "Engelfors" by Sara Bergmark Elfgren and Mats Strandberg. What is your favourite? What do you hate? I love the original Swedish covers, and I'm not a huge fan of the Latvian covers. Glad the series has been translated to so many languages, though! <3
