It's been an exciting few days! But we're drying off, so it's back to work.

Do you think this cover reflects the genre/story type better?

I concur that the stars are nice, but make it hard to read/parse the words. It also feels busy?

Yes, stars and nebulas help sell the sci-fi angle. The juxtaposition with your lovely watercolor illustration might cause confusion since it's not what you expect to see on a sci-fi book (calla lilies IN SPAAAAAACE). I also agree a textured background can make reading the text more difficult in places - maybe do a solid background behind the text and tweak the background on the spine to remove the dark patch?
