Nice review! The cover is creeping me for some reason, but I think I might as well enjoy the book.

Thank you very much! :) The cover is certainly bringing lots of attention to the book, which is what I suppose they hoped for it. I still believe they could have done a better job with not making it so freaky.

The characters sound interesting especially the 'female cleric who can reach into people's minds to soothe and try to heal them from their troubles and injuries' I seldom read about a character like that. Except for the 'profanities' I think I'm going to love this book. Great review!

I like the cover, it just indicates what talent each person possesses. Good to know about unnecessary adult themes.

That's how I took the cover as well, but I can see how it could look a bit more sinister especially before you have read the story.

That's what I had thought too. It seems like either way, the cover is definitely going to elicit some sort of reaction. :)

It certainly has on here. Maybe we need a poll or something on the cover. :eusa-think:
