another font


you might get better feedback if you upload your cover here instead of letting us stare on the tiny SH version

Ah, didn't saw that its about cover. I meant to say that you should add numbers, i.e Chapter 1.

Sorry, anyways...

A Place To Bloom - From your title the first thing that comes to mind is greenery. A verdant grassfield where flowers seemed to bloom every spring. Yet, from you're cover it tells that they (the people there) are still in search for that place.

I got no violent reaction as the cover is meaningful, but maybe add some green?

Another idea is using the typography itself. imagine some foot prints and something growing in the Os of the word bloom.

could 'bloom' something around the word bloom, I would. though if me, i'd do some kind of filigree flower things.
just an idea~

My personal opinion:
The only thing disturbing me is your author name overlapping the people. You're writing about their journey correct? not about the mountain views?
You only gave them 1/8 of your cover (Yes the view is seriously breathtaking i agree), and then you cover them with author name is kinda... well you know my point.
But the rest is great! (not fan of the window frame but still great_

1. The Font isn't well chosen; it could be fitting with certain words, but making the entire thing with the same font has an excessive undertone.
2. The way the typography is set, the "a" is completely lost, and the rest also doesn't line up. It's giving me stress-rashes.
3. The title is completely stuck to the roof, while the author's name sticks to the bottom. As above, so below, one should never place any script too close to the edge, as everything too far up and too far down will "leave the frame" in the eyes of the viewer. You've lost both.
4. The Image itself is nice, but I would have likely color corrected it when setting it with the typography. :blob_cookie:
5. According to color correction, I also would have maybe added something to the logo itself, because the image is nice, however, the cover seems empty and bland. The Logo in full would add some personality to it.
