What do you think of the cover of "The Riddle of Alchemy?"

I think the cover really pulls you it. I want to pick it up and read the back from the cover alone. I know that one shouldn't judge a book by its cover but having one that invited people in is never a bad thing. Nice work.

It is a beautiful cover, and it certainly grabbed my attention. It looks like a depiction of a dream. I have been interested in alchemy for a long time, so when I saw this book, I had to check it out. I have added this book to my list, and I cannot wait to read it!

Although the book's cover caught my eye, I am not sure what a nude woman has to do with alchemy. Having said this, I am interested in reading this book to find out the significance of the nude woman.

The cover of this book is intriguing at first glance but doesn’t seem to exactly fit the title or subject of the book. The various doors could be connected to the riddle aspect of the book, but the rest of the design doesn’t seem to relate before having read the book.

I love the cover. It's very creative and eye-catching. I applaud the Creative Designer of the cover.

Nice words! I like your opinion.

The cover, in my opinion, truly draws people in. Just looking at the cover makes me desire to grab it up and read the back. Having a book that welcomes others is always a good thing, even though I am aware that people cannot judge something by its cover.

I agree with much of what's been said here already - this is probably the best cover I've seen on a book of the month in a long time. The imagery of the doors in the background and the butterfly in place of the head both hint at transformation and definitely draw me in.

I'm curious about the butterfly replacing the woman's face and what's the significance behind the nudity. I guess the mystery vibes of the cover will easily draw the readers, but I'm not sure I am curious enough to pick it up.

Honestly, the cover of this book scares me a bit and gives me bad vibes. I'm one of those who usually choose based on the covers and I wouldn't choose this one. I would like to read the alchemy theme in this story, but I think I'll settle for going through the reviews.

At minimum, it makes me want to read the synopsis. If I were just reading based on covers, I’d grab it!

It gave me chills when i saw it. It really didn't help to arose my curiosity towards the book. May be after reading some reviews I will understand why choosing that cover and how it connected and reflected the book.
