Her Brother's Keeper: A Story of Alpha Centauri ~ arkham71
Scores Total: 25/50Review: Your cover starts us off on the right foot with the object-based planet. Pure sci-fi vibes, especially since—on closer inspection—the planet isn't earth. While it gives a great idea of genre, there isn't much about it that stands out from other sci-fi covers I've seen on Wattpad, whether a spaceship or a person which could help give an idea of the plot. (First example that comes to mind is the DVD cover for Serenity, which isn't a book but has the aspects I mentioned) The different text styles clash a bit and overall, a clearer layout and color scheme could be beneficial.

Till Death Do Us Part ~ axgirl13 (Artist IG: zirael_art)
Scores Total: 45/50Review: This cover immediately gives me fantasy-romance vibes and the quality of the artwork is chef's kiss. I would definitely pick up this book based on the cover. That said, it is a little on the dark side and I could miss seeing it skimming through reading lists since it doesn't stand out color-wise. It might be just me, but I think the title would mesh more if it were formatted so that it's not all on one line.

The Light in the Dark ~ axgirl13 (Artist: WonderfulMiracles)
Scores Total: 43/50Review: The small embellishments around the text really make this cover for me! The red eyes in the background remind me more paranormal books, but I can't really tell if it's supposed to be a person's or an animal's eyes. The different aspects of the cover complement each other well.

Of Caverns and Casters ~ avadel
Scores Total: 43/50Review: The title text of this cover really draws in the eye and I like the detail of the interlocking C's! The subtitle is a bit difficult to read though. The textured background is beautiful with the way it sets off the white shield. It's well-made and as a fantasy fan, one that I'd give a second glance.
