A perfect example of not judging a book by it's cover!
This first impression of "Garden of the Cursed" is a wild adventure. With evocative prose and a strong sense of foreboding, this book looks to have complex characters and relationships that are fraught with tension and conflict. The novel blends elements of fantasy, mystery, and romance to create a unique and compelling narrative. In my opinion the pacing is excellent so far, and I predict plenty of twists and turns that will build towards a satisfying ending to the story. Overall, I loved almost everything about it-with one exception.
I believe the cover needs a rethink. I love all of the elements within it, but I think there needs to be a better delineation between each one so that we can see them. Right now, all of the elements blend together and instead of setting the broody tone, it loses a lot of the work that was put into it.
