Title: 5/5

Love it! I get fantasy/magic vibes from it, but I can see sci fi/alien, too. Either way, it's a title that grabs attention for sure.

Cover: 5/5

This cover is gorgeous. I love the blues, and while I'm not quite sure if it's an alien hand coming up from the bottom to hold the scepter, or if that's the staff of the scepter, I don't really need to know. It's intriguing. Similar thing with whatever's going on above the glowing scepter, but the uncertainty adds to the mystery. Your choice of font, size, color, and placement is all perfect, and I love the little flower watermark in the middle (I assume that's what it is). It goes really well with the rest of the cover. It wouldn't be a bad idea to bump up the font size for your name and the subtitle at the top, as they're a bit hard to make out from the title page without squinting, but otherwise, I love this.
