Crown of Souls (Fantasy, Sword and Sorcery)

TCSimpson · 01-13-2017, 08:49 AM

At long last, the release of Crown of Souls, the final book in the Quintessence Cycle series.

The Winds of War blow across Mareshna. Swords are brought to bear. The end of the world looms. One way or another, the fate of the Dracodar will be decided.

The armies of the western horde stand between King Ainslen Cardiff and his mad dream to conquer the world. But even as he’s massed his forces at the Swords of Humel, another enemy has taken advantage of the opening he leaves behind.

Queen Terestere maneuvers her pieces across the board to complete her vengeance, see her people rise, and to face a man she has often dreamed of killing.

Keedar and Thar battle to weaken the Farlander forces and discover the truth of a frightening secret.

Winslow trains among the Dracodar for the greatest undertaking of all.

But none of them could have anticipated the power or the goal of their true foe.

You cover has the book title in a huge size and the series in a tiny size. The title should be larger (but not that much larger) or the same size. Plus, the title/series should not be taking up 1/2 of the space of the cover. The font used for the series/title does not work when the text is as small as the title. I look at the cover and the cover shouts PHOTOSHOP!

In the cover that's your avatar, you don't have that picture of a crown on the cover. I find the crown to be a distraction. It's not needed.

I am just trying to be helpful and I do think the cover needs to be reworked. Same with the cover that is your avatar.

I'm thinking giving a price would be nice in your post.

What is the cover image about?

Your White title obscures so much of the lighter content.

IMHO Your Avatar leaves the image available to suck a viewer into your realm.

I'm thinking reworking the covers would be best. I can click the links to get the price. But when I see covers that shout PHOTOSHOP to me, I stay away from unless I get good reviews from others I trust enough.

Can't argue with you there.
But, why should I take my time to click to find a price?
Since you had pointed out the cover issue, I figured I would tackle the lack of a price.
And I see neither of us addressed the description.
It has some punctuation issues.
A couple of strange word choices too.

The combination of the three is NOT making me want to click the link.

Yes, the description is an odd read. Plus does have errors.
