@daeus-lamb I agree with H. Ann specifically about the first line.

I still feel like it tells me little more than “this is in the epic fantasy genre.” The last line about the lonely artist struck me as very much “something in a Daeus story,” which I think is great. You have a unique perspective and style of storytelling, and I just don’t think this blurb reflects what I would expect from one of your books.

Maybe that’s a result of you branching out in genre. I don’t know. Maybe it’s even an accurate reflection of the book.

I’m no marketing expert, but what I have read time and time again from people far more successful than me is “your cover tells the reader the genre—that they’re in the right place, and they can trust you to fulfil certain genre conventions. Your blurb is the chance to shine, to show the reader how you’re different.”

And I still feel like your blurb does the former more than the latter.
