The missing eye is gonna give me nightmares tonight.
I agree with you, but I think tha the written part makes a balance with the lighting, so maybe if it gets better the effect wouldn't be the same.The use of light could have been slighty, just slighty better but beside that I really like the cover. If I would wander around in a bookstore I would stand there and stare at it for a second. Pretty eyecatching.
Maybe we'll see Giedre's missing eye on a future 10 magazine cover?
