GENERAL QUALITIES: 37/50
Title: 4/5
The title sounds amazing. It hints at the battles within the self and introduce more than one interpretation. The partial title also sounds cool and it indicates that the book is the first part of a series. Though, it has one writing syntax error where it lacks the definite article, 'the' between the 'of' and 'rise,' because the phrase is referring to the particular and definite action or object (rise of) to be done on the subject, (midnight).
Moreover, adding the definite article, 'the,' will emphasize the wow-factor impression of the main title 'rise of midnight.' It may also sound like something is missing from the phrase but because it's a title, it should sound that relevant because it's a title for a book, which should speak for the overall impression of the whole story. A few details in the title have a great impact on the impression of the book even before readers know what it is about. I also suggest capitalizing some first letters of the words to adhere to the standard format of writing titles, regardless of whether it is a formal or informal piece of writing. Such as "(Battle of Invisible Thorns: Part 1 of (The/)the Rise of Midnight."
Book Cover: 3/5
The book cover is good in showing what the main character already looks like and what ambiance it will make readers feel giving it a teen-fiction genre of book, which the book actually is so good for that. The simple color tone is pleasing to the eyes and adheres to its given teen-fiction ambiance. The main character's centered and zoomed figure stands out and properly emphasizes her main role as the key protagonist. Adding chat bubbles that verbally inflict her is also excellent as it shows readers the main character's struggles right away, setting expectations.
The problem with the design is how the texts blend in with the background and how small they are, making it hard to read them. The same can be said for the subtitles and author's name below. I suggest magnifying the font size and changing the font color to a hue or different shade of color that stands out from bright colors. The background color should be able to make the font stand out in variation to their color.
Moreover, the book cover was not something I expected after reading the title alone. Instead, the title gives off a fantasy, action-oriented fiction, supernatural, or sci-fi anticipation with the word choice and layout of these words. I can't say for sure if I can suggest anything about it but if anything, I recommend changing the title itself to truly be coherent with not only the book cover, but the overall plot, theme, and direction of the story. It may sound rigid and even though I said the title is amazing but considering what themes and meanings the title is suggesting, I can't guarantee that everyone will expect the book to be a teen fiction where the setting leans more towards the real world by reading the title alone.
