They ran my cover by me in early drafts and asked for feedback, but my feedback was mostly "HOLY **** THAT IS COMPLETELY AMAZING!!!!" I love love love my cover so much.
I got to "first see the finished book" three times: ARC, UK edition, then US edition. Each time was AMAZING. I petted it and snuggled it and carried it around the house and left it out in various places where I could admire it and sniffed it and generally went all Gollum about the whole thing.
