It really seems to hit all the bases for the genre. I’ve got no suggestions for improvement. Anyone else?
It may hit a few too many bases. What did the designer leave out? Anything at all? In any case, most of the objects displayed as ghostly purple glowing things are only discernible at close inspection. Why does the realistic street scene turn into a purple surface in the foreground? But most disturbing of all is that the image looks all too AI generated. If you wanted just one clue, it’s the street light on the right that appears to be both hanging from a wall and supported by a post.
Cute. Fits the cozy genre. I see the light post (hanging and attached to wall), but I like the oddity, like a puzzle-illusion.
Overall I like it. My only nit picks are, like Ron said, a little too much purple (maybe add some yellow in the title to match the cat’s eyes?), and I’m never a fan of the title being on the bottom of the book.
