The book cover is awesome! The colors and artwork just grab your attention, and it totally vibes with the story.

The animals are well drawn on the cover and at first glance, I thought the book would be about animal migrations. That is before reading anything about it.

The cover page is quite attractive; however, it does not adequately convey the book's genre, which is sci-fi fantasy. This aspect should have been given more consideration.

I assumed that the book would be all about camping, hunting or animal welfare. I was surprised to discover there were other scenarios, cities, etc and that the wild life wasn't the biggest part of the plot.
I agree with you! I also thought about some sort of Safari, for example. However, the book did not disappoint and the cover is still impecable.

Right! I also thought this book was about either animal migration, almost like Noe's Arch, or some sort of African Safari/Adventure!

Even though the cover is an amazing piece of art, I was expecting some sort of Animal Adventure/Safari of some sort. I thought a bit about Dune when I saw it but with the addiction to Animals. This got me interested.

The cover page is very eye-catching, especially for someone who has been reading action and crime books. I already love the book seeing the cover page. I sensed that I wanted to read about terrorists in the Middle East. Though not like that exactly, but it has many elements that look like that and it is all about killings, which is an element of terrorist stories.

While the colours of the cover are appealing, the cover by itself kind of gave historical fiction vibes. Upon learning that it is a science fiction book it just made more sense.

This book's cover is so strikingly eye-catching, but it had me thinking that this was a wildlife book about migration or some safari adventure. Even the title confused me.

I have to admit, I do love the colours. I think that's what makes it so interesting to look at. But I thought that it was a safari adventure! :lol:

The cover of "The Great Migration," is visually striking and quite creative on its own. The use of brontotheres and the depiction of a primitive society in Thunder Valley give it this intriguing and almost primal vibe. I was initially drawn in, thinking the story would unfold in that setting.

However, and here's the twist, the cover turned out to be a bit misleading. The initial chapters and the cover had me believing we were diving into a narrative centred around brontotheres and this Thunder Valley society. It was only towards the end of the book that the big "a-ha" moment hit me—those eyes on the cover weren't from Thunder Valley at all; they were Keldiari's, one of the mysterious s'orne!

It's kind of like the cover played a subtle game with our expectations. While it doesn't exactly match the immediate setting, it cleverly ties in with a crucial element of the story.

The intriguing cover art immediately draws the viewer in with its lifelike rendering of a woman's penetrating gaze, bringing the themes of observation and perspective to the forefront.

Each element visually reinforces the book’s underlying examination of how we see ourselves and the world around us. The photorealistic style adds palpable emotion and humanity through little details - wisps of hair, the glint in her eyes, the creases at the corners of her mouth.
