I hope to return to this project someday, but it isn't feasible with my current health issues and life circumstances. I have to cut things from my workload so I can breathe. However, I still intend to complete my current li...

Title: 5/5
A Greek mythological creature, illusory hope, or genetic amalgamation? This word's definitions are as diverse and bizarre as that original creature, and I'm all for the implied mystery and ambiguity.
Cover: 4/5
Plain and simple. Just rows of chimera in relief with the book title in the middle, again feeding into the mystery and ambiguity. My only complaint here is the lack of your name. You're the author. Give yourself some credit! Fitting it into this cover would be tricky, though. Maybe you could move the title up a bit in that middle section to make enough room for you to add your name in a smaller font below it.
Blurb: 5/5
The thing I love the most about the blurb is how it doesn't take itself seriously. There's a subtle, implied humor throughout. My favorite line has to be the one at the end: "Now featuring 55% more plot than originally intended." That's such a great line. The short tagline at the top for the blurb preview is also amazing, and I'm definitely down for a glacial slow burn, although I'll be interested to compare the speed of yours to mine. There's nothing like torturing your readers with a slow burn. But anyway, there are no grammatical errors in this blurb, and I honestly can't find anything I would change about it. Maybe the hook isn't the strongest one out there, but I think the tone you've set is probably appropriate for the story, and it's right for the readers you want reading your book. It sounds like this is a fun work in progress that you're figuring out as you write, which is what I do, so I'm excited to see where this goes.
