I feel like the clock tower's plain yellow is taking away from the focus of the cover xD ...like everything has two different values (and sometimes more) BUT the clock tower and the silhouettes don't. Perhaps you meant for the silhouettes to be the only thing to be one specific color (thus being the one thing that sticks out / grabs our attention?). Oh, well, what's done is done, eh?
Anyway, great use of illustrator for the type, the layered shadows, perspective, pen tool (THEM SILHOUETTESβ₯), and that moon. Omfgβ₯ I love that moon!!!!!!! ^_______^ (it looks like a moon, and then it looks almost like a yellow Death Star, but still a moon xD)
