In my opinion, the book cover illustration could have been better. There was an issue of miscommunication with it. This was my second book after joining OBC. And while I enjoyed the story, I was confused as to why the boy on the front cover (obviously Galen) was dressed in 21st century garb (a hoodie and baggie pants) in a story that happened in medieval times. I remember that I mentioned this observation on my review too. So yes, I think the cover illustration could have better communicated the story.PeterRabitt20 wrote: ↑08 Nov 2020, 22:11 Judging a book by the cover illustration is always a bright idea. However, cover illustrations are done to attract a certain demographics. These covers either push the readers towards or away from a book. Does the cover illustration of We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies do justice to the book?

However, I think It does not completely illustrate the story overall.
All in all, it is a good cover, but it could be better.
