Cover: 2/5
The cover isn't appealing and may not effectively capture the essence of the story. An ideal cover for a narrative exploring existential themes and time travel should include elements like clocks, timepieces, or abstract designs that suggest infinity and paradoxes. Enhancing the cover with more visually striking imagery that aligns with the story's themes would help attract potential readers and convey the book's intriguing premise.
