Revamp of The Wave - feedback and suggestions welcome

[SolarMother]

Here is our proposal (from Stuart and I) for the cover of Wave 4 - Through a Glass Darkly.

I must give Stuart props for some excellent collage work on this one. :D

Posting it here for feedback, suggestions are welcome!

Looking forward to seeing the revision. The colours are stunning! Very powerful--goes well with the first 3 books.

On the first look: good, attractive, powerful, but also a bit mystic and scary. Gives impression of a very serious book.

Wow. This is fantastic. Guys, you've really outdone yourselves!

I believe the new title is "Through a Glass Darkly" isn't it?

This was my understanding, and also that a subtitle/phrase has yet to be set.

I read it somewhere else too, that the title has been changed, to what Laura mentions.

FWIW.

Some 2 cents worth here...the subtitle/phrase has to be very clarifying because if I were a new reader I might find the main title, "Through A Glass Darkly" confusing, vague and a bit awkward in wording.
What exactly does this title mean? Doesn't seem to give the reader any clues as to what the book is about.

The graphics convey something mysterious and powerful. "The Terror of History" gives a little more information as to what the book is about. Any idea what the subtitle is going to say?

"Through a Glass Darkly" simply refers to limited perception - as if one is seeing all and everything through a glass, darkly - not seeing it clearly or as it is. It's also part of a Corinthians verse (1 Corinthians 13:12). The phrase has been used in many literary works to reflect mankind's state of being, our perception clouded. It can also relate to our struggle to see clearly, even though we are all currently in a state where we see things through a glass, darkly.

The full title is Through a Glass Darkly: Hidden Masters, Secret Agendas, and a Tradition Unveiled.

OK, thank you-- I am seeing it now...the title, that is
(Reading the 1 Corinthians verse brought the
phrase back into my memory--it too, is powerful, like the cover art.)

The full title is Through a Glass Darkly: Hidden Masters, Secret Agendas, and a Tradition Unveiled.

The proposed cover for book four is stunning, any word on when we can expect book eight?

This year! ;) That's about as specific as possible right now, concerning all variables involved.
