Feedback Wanted Opinions on my epic/dark fantasy saga?
Hello, these are the covers of my self published saga. I know the third is a bit blurry (this was actually the first one of the saga and I wasn't good with editing lol) .
I was wondering if I should make a second edition with new covers.
What are the vibes?
Edit: the titles in English are:
The knight's ghost The rise of the Necromancers The reconquest of the kingdom

Try and pay more attention to the space between letters (kearning), they need adjustment. Ex: the large gaps between the V and A in Cavaliere. Small changes like that will make it look more professional.

How could I never have noticed??
You are right, then it's a fault of the font I chose

No worries, it's a small detail but graphic designers are taught about it in school.
It's actually an issue most fonts have, they mathematically space themselves instead of visually space themselves. You almost always need to go in and move the letters manually, for any font.

Font doesn't work and the background, like the other poster said, doesn't convey fantasy. The covers suggest that these are haunted places. So I can see it as a ghost book but not a fantasy book.

Ok, I get the background thing. But why do you think the font is not ok? Doesn't it give fantasy vibes?

The font is very generic. All black with sariff. When I think of dark fantasy I think of The Witcher, Castlevania, Dark Blade. Blasphemous. Do a quick google search on "dark fantasy books" and tell me this font matches with those of published books. This needs way more work if you want readers to pick up your book.

None of these say epic/dark fantasy at all. These are giving poetry or literary fiction.
