Title: 5/5

Yes. Fun fact, this triggers memories of playing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for me, but although I doubt that applies here, it works in your favor when hooking me. 😉

Cover: 4/5

Ooh. Glittery and pretty. Love the gold and blue and all the text—except the subtitle at the top. The font is really skinny and tall, giving the impression it's been compressed, which then makes me think the entire cover has been compressed, although I see no evidence elsewhere of this. It's also very hard to read on the table of contents page, although I can read it when clicking the book title on your profile. It may also be a tad too light in color, tending more to white than gold. I'd recommend playing with different fonts to find something a little wider, darkening the color just a bit, and increasing the size a little if changing fonts isn't enough to improve readability.
