It has potential; it's a bit static, but with some good cover art, I'd definitely pick it up.

(Heehee! And Every Man for Himself! is actually the name of a play I'm currently producing/directing, a Three Musketeers spoof. I need to find more titles to put at the bottom of my posts...)

It seems an odd mix of 'painted' - which brings to mind a 'painted woman' - and thief, which strikes me as more than incongruous. But the contrast of the words would sufficiently nettle me into reading the inside cover, doubtless. ^_^

Too wordy for my tastes -- something "Unsought" would be better. Probably wouldn't pick up.

Strange. I think of the camera. I would probably be interrested by the cover art more than anything :-D

Saints is religious, so I think religion. Fire. Could be anything, Vampires, or the burning of witches, or piros even! But the fact that it is THE fire saints, I think of a group of teens who gained magic powers and now, FIGHT CRIME! And they are saints XD I suppose if I heard something good about it, I could pick it up.

Doesn't stand out too much for me. However, it does put a rather clear image in the mind of what the story might be about. There is a distinct smell of conflict, which is a good thing. :wink:

"Self-degradation" popped into my head immediately. Makes me think of something angsty, and as I'm not the type for that, prolly wouldn't be interested too much.

I would probably pick up assuming it was some sort of comedy book, lol. Sounds good to me. Anything that's 30% more free is worth picking up.

Made me think of grasshopper for some reason. As I know what your story is about, though, I can't really give a fair judgment because I loved your story! I would add something a little more exciting to it though. Doesn't jump out at me.

Interesting. Makes me think the slightest bit of LOST because of the others. Makes me ask, if this is the 'other' city, what about the general city? I would love to read a book called the other city...It sounds like it would be good.

"The trouble with Borrowing another mind was, you always felt out of place when you got back to your own body, and Granny was the first person ever to read the mind of a building. Now she was feeling big and gritty and full of passages. 'Are you all right?' Granny nodded, and opened her windows. She extended her east and west wings and tried to concentrate on the tiny cup held in her pillars."
