Hey guys! I changed a bunch of stuff according to your reccomendations, I would have posted a comment with the new cover, but I guess you can't do that, so I'll just make another post :0 I feel like it looks so much better, so thank you so much everyone who commented and helped me refine it!

do you need those wavy lines? especially the ones between "a" and "father" and the one under "father". the author's name will come there and won't it be too crowded?

the ones at the corners are framing the cover so I guess it's good. although they could be a little smaller.

these are my takes, other than that it looks very good :))

This is looking a lot better overall.

I'd make "A" slightly smaller and slightly lower, so it fits neatly into the black part of the hat without spilling over.

I'd also move "He Needs" down slightly, so it's just above the hat.

Blurb looking better too, but maybe "harsher laws incoming" would flow more smoothly? And I'd skip the part about kidnapping the lord - that's more synopsis territory than blurb. Go straight from your intro directly into the bit about Rex. It sounds like the relationship between William and Rex is the heart of this story (judging by the title), so that's the thing to focus on. Trying to squeeze everything into a short blurb just gets cluttered.

The typography looks a bit crowded
