We need more! How dare you include a black border around this. Fill every pixel with something. Oh, and add more words that are impossible to read.

This looks like a fantasy saga of 7 or 15 books where all the covers were squeezed together to put onto the 1st book. It really is that busy.

A very bad Sgt. Pepper’s cover ripoff.

You most likely can’t draw a straight line

Where’s Waldo?

Seriously, this cover is EXACTLY what I warn my clients about. That authors think of their covers as if Amazon’s going to feature the cover on an IMAX screen, and thus they envision the entire story, flowing across the screen in sequence–and you get THIS as a result. No damn idea what it’s about. A sci-fi (planets, galaxy) fantasy (castles in night/day, wizards, magic wands) medieval (self-explanatory) arranged-marriage (the butt-out hug/kiss) puppet (little guy to the right of the chick) dressmaking (the gown that the wizardy-looking guy is modelling) book.

And, oh, yeah, FONTICIDE!! FONTICIDE!!!

If I came across this cover browsing for books, the cover wouldn’t deter me from buying it. I kind of like it, and to me it’s unique. I wouldn’t recommend such a busy design though.

This is one of those covers where you need the silhouetted version with a key to identify all the characters, critters, and structures represented here.

Thank you for noticing my book cover. What could be more boring than being a BOOK COVER CRITIC!?! Wow get a life. If you have no artistic ability what so ever become an art critic.

Most books can’t be judged by its cover, this one can. Its jammed pack with action and adventure most likely too exciting for you couch potatoes.

For those that gave me a positive review, I highly recommend my book if you like action/adventure/romance. For the rest of you go back to watching Dancing with the Stars.

Uh oh… Looks like some special little snowflake wants a participation trophy.

By the way, I took a look at the preview material on Amazon, and it seems the art does accurately reflect what’s in this book: miles of pretty purple prose (with the occasional glaring error involving homonyms and near-homonyms, e.g mixing up “passed” with “past” and “hulled” with “hauled”) and nothing whatsoever to hold the audience’s attention.
