To the cover?

you might get better feedback if you upload your cover here instead of letting us stare on the tiny SH version

Ah, didn't saw that its about cover. I meant to say that you should add numbers, i.e Chapter 1.

Sorry, anyways...

A Place To Bloom - From your title the first thing that comes to mind is greenery. A verdant grassfield where flowers seemed to bloom every spring. Yet, from you're cover it tells that they (the people there) are still in search for that place.

I got no violent reaction as the cover is meaningful, but maybe add some green?

That's... that's actually it. That's what I was going for.

Another idea is using the typography itself. imagine some foot prints and something growing in the Os of the word bloom.

could 'bloom' something around the word bloom, I would. though if me, i'd do some kind of filigree flower things.
just an idea~

My personal opinion:
The only thing disturbing me is your author name overlapping the people. You're writing about their journey correct? not about the mountain views?
You only gave them 1/8 of your cover (Yes the view is seriously breathtaking i agree), and then you cover them with author name is kinda... well you know my point.
But the rest is great! (not fan of the window frame but still great_

The cover's good.

And the person above me is right, the author name kinda ruined the feeling the people in the picture are supposed to portray.
You should either lower it or raise it.

1. The Font isn't well chosen; it could be fitting with certain words, but making the entire thing with the same font has an excessive undertone.
2. The way the typography is set, the "a" is completely lost, and the rest also doesn't line up. It's giving me stress-rashes.
3. The title is completely stuck to the roof, while the author's name sticks to the bottom. As above, so below, one should never place any script too close to the edge, as everything too far up and too far down will "leave the frame" in the eyes of the viewer. You've lost both.
4. The Image itself is nice, but I would have likely color corrected it when setting it with the typography.
5. According to color correction, I also would have maybe added something to the logo itself, because the image is nice, however, the cover seems empty and bland. The Logo in full would add some personality to it.

This seems like it's useful feedback from someone who knows what they're talking about. The only problem is that I don't know what you're talking about.

You use words like "undertone" and "color-corrected" which sound like tradespeak.

That wasn't what I meant to sound like, sorry. I do cover design, though, so I'm used to explaining it that way.
For 1st, to put it in simple terms: The font is too much; it's too playful. While I'm not saying that the entire Logo being playful is a bad thing, the font itself is too playful in the same manner. It's just too much of "one thing", which is something the average observer picks up on subconsciously, without being able to put a finger on it. That's what an "undertone" can mean - it depends on where you hear it, but that's one definition in an example such as yours.
For 4th and 5th, where I used "color correction", it simply referred to the fact that I would have likely used a bit of a filter on the image, to make the brighter spots pop better, by creating deeper shadows. In correspondence, I would have added some elements to the typography, making an actual "Logo" out of a mere title, to add much much needed personality, which simply means that there's something the eye can "focus and decipher" to make the viewer look more closely at your cover, creating more of an impression, and burning it better into their memory.

Better explanation?
