    Title: 4/5
    The concept for the title is good. It includes romance and invokes science fiction as well. My issue is with "Universe". If it's singular, there should probably be an article (the) before "Universe," or you could make it plural, and then the title's fine. But this could also be an intentional choice on your part, so I guess I'll reevaluate after/during reading.
    Addendum: After reading the book, I'd still say there should be a "the," but it's up to you.
    Cover: 5/5
    This is a gorgeous cover. I love the blending of the two images and all the interplay between their elements—day/night, boy/girl, both with their faces tilted up but eyes closed, two hands, a bird at the end of one finger and a flower held in the other hand, the rings on their ring fingers, the red thread binding them together—ah, there's so much going on here, and it's so good. The text is also absolute perfection. Props to _BLACKSPADESZ for this cover!
