Usually, I am drawn to book covers as they start the storytelling first. This book's cover did a nice job in creating a visual as to what to expect.

I think the cover is a little too generic. In terms of design, it's stunning; the wording and ornamental components have historical significance, yet it reminds me of many book covers concerning time travel or mysteries. And I am drawn to covers with a historical setting and antiquated timepieces. So there are no issues with the cover.

I think the book cover artwork of Vagabond fits its plot. It represents Cecilia in a certain way and matches with the elements in the book. I like its simple yet stunning look.

It's quite good and represents the book, in my opinion. The clock is made in magnificent style and it matches with the teleporting that Lucifer's daughter does.

It is important not to judge a book by its cover literally. This is an example. With an almost regular cover, one may think the book may be just another simple work, but in contrast, it is loaded with enough twists to give the page-turner effect.

There was great artwork involved in putting up this cover and I think it tells a lot about the author. In simple language, its a great cover. :)

I feel that the cover art of Vagabond is too vague and obtuse. Sure, it might interest a specific niche of the audience, but I feel, something more exciting could have been put in place to entice a wider variety of prospective readers. :techie-studyinggray:

This I can definitely second. The contrast of the gold, black at silver hints at mystery and intrigue. It tells you from the moment you take up the book that the story may not be what you expect and the story delivers on that promise.

I think we all judge books by the covers,even we don't mean to but the cover is the first introduction that we receive to the book and the author. We may later choose the book for more than one reason but the cover plays a part in it as well. For me, the cover drew my interest and the author kept it.

The Vagabond cover artwork already shows what the storyline looks like. I knew the nature of the book when I saw the cover artwork.

I am intrigued by a cover of a book, it usually makes or breaks it for me whether I’ll read the book or not. I found that the cover for Vegabond was simple yet unique. The watch and colors caught my attention enough to want to read it.

The gold and fire surrounding the clock I think is symbolic of the story. Time does not matter. The cover draws ones attention and makes you wonder about it. it creates a type of mystery.

The cover IS very pretty. To be honest, I didn’t realize that the picture was of a pocket watch, but it does make sense. I do think that it is representative of the book, but the watch is such a small part of the story that it’s misleading.

I think there is nothing wrong with the cover. The cover represents what the book is about. Maybe on anesthetics it could have a little improvement; there's always better, even of the the best.

Readers like me are attracted to books due to their covers. The artwork really reflects on the book, which is what attracted me to reading it.
