How can someone turn something this simple into something this awful? There’s only text on it and a simple logo-like drawing in the middle, and yet:
– four different fonts are used
– there’s random glossy crap on The ebellious Pr cess. Why is that there?
– the 3D effect is horrible beyond words
– do I even have to comment on the drawing itself?
I guess that’s what happens when start to think that your simple idea is too simple.
And then there’s the blurb:
The debut book in the Tales of Valisa: The Tamiran Elves Legacy is about a young princess who has grown tired of the monotony of her life, and yearns for adventure. With a need to go searching for a friend, Irek of Grevacia, Princess Analise Alehandra Tamira embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Unbeknownst to the Princess her father, Lord Marcus Scipio of Tamira has a plethora of deadly enemies. Finding herself lost within the Draconic Barbarian kingdom of Akirex’Xal Analise is taken captive by High Lord Oarxxas Va’ie. Will Queen Tri’Shena and King Marcus ever see their daughter again?
The princess her father? She’s someone’s father?
Elves? Check. Dragons? Check. Spoiled princess? Check. Stupid names with lots of apostrophes and double Xs? Check. Yup, we have a fantasy book! And all that for a mere dollar.
You’d have to pay ME much more than a dollar to read this. I’d suspect the author is 13, but since she writes erotica, I guess that theory is busted.
Based on this cover, I’d guess that Princess Analise Alehandra Tamira Rosannadanna is an ice princess.
But will the evil Good Lord Oarxxas Va’ie Ee’haaww XXIII (LOVE) be able to melt her heart with a scorched book of naughty poems before LMSoT invades the DBKoAX with an army of Tamiran Elves impersonators?
It’s hard to write books when you never read one.
Copied & pasted from Amazon: “She has a bachelor’s of fine arts degree in creative writing for entertainment and also writes scripts and video game concepts in addition to her novellas, and novels.”
Only one comma – and it’s in the wrong place.
No mention of any graphic arts training. Show of hands: Who is surprised? Anyone? Anyone?
I’m surprised that she seems to think this dreck would entice readers, or even humans in general.
Not what you were asking, but still…

There’s the graphics designer thing. Also, notice the comma at erotica, or two. This woman must have missed school when they taught about commas.
You know, there’ something to be said for a short, pithy title.
She “will be presenting many more concepts to the public”? Thanks for the warning.
