Title: 5/5

I have never before considered a Christmas story as a fantasy story, because "Christmas" is just its own category in my mind, but it definitely fits. Magic and all that. 🙂

Cover: 4/5

This is missing something, and I'm not really sure what. I think adding a little more definition to the letters to help them stand out more from the background would be good. They're more defined in the larger image in the pop-up box when I click your book title on your profile, but that doesn't show well in the smaller image on the table of contents page. But that's not what's missing to me. Maybe a little decorative something in the corners? That might do it. I love the snowy background and the nutcracker, and anything added would need to be sure to enhance and not detract from all that, or maybe draw more attention to the nutcracker to make it pop just a little. So...just my thoughts, and you can take or leave them as you choose. 😉
