Sorry I have no time for detail or advice, but figure a quick first impression might be valuable. Love the cover, really do, it would make me pick it up.

The blurb I think covers too many details; most of us skim the back blurbs and this one is hard to skim. Maybe too subtle, as you say. Please not that I am terrible at marketing and advertising, so grain of salt and all that.

Also quick question as apparently this is one I haven't actually read; is it told from Garth's POV?
