It is a great satisfaction when a new writer, practically anonymous for the publishing world, and who has decided to make his dream come true, write and see his edited book, sends you his work in which he has so much enthusiasm for it to be reviewed and we give our opinion, that , above all, it is to be appreciated.
David Zanón Sandoval is a Valencian writer who decided to self-publish his own novel, Álderoi, fulfilling a dream and giving us a novel that, with the help of a good proofreader or a good publisher, could have been a novel with more than considerable sales , since the world that the writer creates is worthy of admiration.
The main idea of this book, to put us in situation, is very striking, since part of the human race is enslaved by a larger race, the Aldian, and they are dedicated to making crosses creating new human races in order to benefit from the characteristics that They achieve, one of them being, among others, to create warriors called Ézdul, to obtain the greatest possible part of benefits in a kind of fights organized by their masters.
There are several breeding houses of Ézdul warriors who are dedicated to creating great warriors and getting the maximum possible benefits, remembering the environment that we can see in the television series Blood and Sand, since, as in the series, one of these breeding houses gets an almost invincible warrior , which is called Elindos, and which begins to attract envy and desires of crossing races with the great warrior. All this with a dark creature that, after thousands of years of waiting, its time has come.
The story attracts from the beginning, although the first chapters are difficult to read due to the large amount of information that the reader receives in a very short time, but ends up hooking, it is an epic fantasy very well linked and with the new society as the main attraction .
Una good surprise It is the best definition for this book, which one day came to my mailbox and in a short time earned the right to be on my shelf, where I have the books that I have read and that I liked.
But not everything is good news, the writer has plenty of quality and imagination to create worlds from nothing, as an example this first book, but we need to delve into some of his characters, my relationship with Elindos has fallen a little short, no He is no longer the typical hero called to triumph and to lead his race, but it is necessary to know him more, to deepen his life and his feelings, to be able to empathize with him, and thus with some characters that pass during the novel and do not reach you.
Possibly, that characteristic in his writing will come later, with his next book, which I do not doubt that there will be, and he already has the maturity in writing and the maturity of having exposed himself to the public and to opinions.
Best, that sensation of reading worlds created out of nothing, which can recall great works such as "The Lord of the Rings", and which involve a huge work of the writer, a work carried out to fruition, a solid work that is sustained in his own story and in the author's imagination.
Worst, nothing, it has nothing bad, it does have things that can be improved, such as the deepening of the characters and the massive information received by the reader in a short time, things that are improved by writing, and from my most sincere opinion, I hope you continue writing and not be a single book, because it has quality to offer us more.
It seems necessary to highlight one anecdote About this book, it is self-published, I had already said that, but the drawings that are inside the book, the cover and the back cover have been designed by the writer's wife and a good friend, an act that, in my opinion, They make a new writer more eager and more excited to realize his dream by seeing that the people who love him help him and get involved in his project.
