Título español: "Más allá del bosque del Ocaso" Título original: "TMás allá del bosque del Ocaso" Autora:Juan Manuel Peñate Rodríguez Saga: Libro Independiente Publicación: 15/12/2023 Editorial: Círculo Rojo ISBN: 978-84-1155-622-4. Páginas: 518. Estantería: Fantasía. Sinopsis En una era antigua y agonizante, una serie de extraños peregrinos de diferentes confines remotos entrecruzarán sus caminos en busca de respuestas, pues su entorno, tal como lo conocían, se acerca a su fin: una joven aprendiz de bruja sin apenas habilidades y su gato, un muchacho descendiente de nigromantes con un pasado oscuro y deshonroso, un par de enanos rivales entre sí desde que nacieron, un gólem de piedra con crisis de identidad, un legendario hombre-planta, una numerosa familia de gnomos de los pantanos… Todos ellos, los últimos de un linaje casi extinto, emprenderán un peligroso viaje hacia lo desconocido más allá de las fronteras prohibidas. Un grupo ridículo y poco preparado, y sin embargo la única esperanza de un mundo que, por día que pasa, se desvanece sin que nadie sepa por qué. Después de tres antologías inolvidables, el autor regresa con su estilo inconfundible para atrapar a los lectores, y lo hace con Más allá del Bosque del Ocaso, su primera novela, una aventura oscura y envolvente que bebe de La historia interminable, El mago de Oz, el universo de Mundodisco y el realismo mágico de las obras de Studio Ghibli, entre otras historias atemporales. Opinión personal 🗣️ El mundo mágico parece estar cerca de su extinción y la única esperanza de supervivencia recae en una serie de seres mágicos que emprenden un peligroso camino hacia lo desconocido para salvar a todos y asegurar la descendencia. Es así como una joven aprendiz de bruja sin apenas habilidades y su gato, un muchacho descendiente de nigromantes con un pasado oscuro y deshonroso, un par de enanos rivales entre sí desde que nacieron, un gólem de piedra con crisis de identidad, un legendario hombre-planta, una numerosa familia de gnomos de los pantanos… sin verlo venir, entrecruzan sus caminos en busca de respuestas. 🔺Me ha encantado esta novela. Ha sido una lectura muy agradable, entretenida y bonita. Una aventura que se va cociendo a fuego lento para luego hervir a toda marcha. 🔺 La trama principal está muy bien hilada y la forma de describir el entorno y los personajes del autor es una maravilla. Lo único que no me ha gustado es la trama secundaria por así decirlo. El libro empieza en el mundo real y para mi hubiese sido perfecto si empezase directamente con el mundo mágico. 🔺Es una historia que cautiva. Tiene varios puntos de partida diferentes que se van uniendo poco a poco y de forma perfecta. También se van resaltando valores como la amistad, la soledad y la familia durante los diferentes capítulos. 🔺El mundo de El Limbo, donde se desarrolla la historia, me ha encantado y hubiese estado genial un mapa al final del libro en donde se viesen los diferentes dominios de estos seres y en donde se encuentra el bosque del ocaso. 🔺 Creo que poco más puedo decir sin soltar algún spoiler por lo que hasta aquí llega mi reseña 😊. 🔥 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨: una novela de fantasía muy entrañable con personajes muy singulares y una trama con mucho gancho. 🔥 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬: si te gustan las lecturas agradables con toques de fantasía y seres clásicos. Podría dirigirse también al público juvenil. También podría ser un libro para deshacer los bloqueos lectores. ❄️ 𝗟𝗖 organizada por @LAKYlibros de https://librosquehayqueleer-laky.blogspot.com/ Redactado por Annie NeveraDeLibros el jueves, marzo 07, 2024 No hay comentarios: Enviar por correo electrónicoEscribe un blogCompartir con TwitterCompartir con FacebookCompartir en Pinterest Labels: Editorial circulo rojo, Puntuación 4.5, reseña, reseña fantasía, reseñas 2024

On Writing Disappointment The world is built on mounds of disappointment. Nearly every successful man or woman today will tell you that they've weathered their fair share of sad and unlucky times; that finding their way through the darkness eventually made them stronger and better able to appreciate their success. We've all faced bitter disappointment, and we've allowed it to shape us. In the same way that life has handed you lemons, it's the author's responsibility to hand lemons over to their characters. Now, I'm not talking about run of the mill, stepped in gum, lost my car keys, my dog ran away, bad luck. Not the normal kind of I didn't get the job, I failed the test, the guy I like doesn't like me, disappointment. When we set out to create characters, we must take every awful moment and every terrible disappointment and make it WORSE. Why? We're building character (s). Human beings are meat, electrical impulses and thought. Without thought we'd be nothing more than wandering zombies. And the way we think about things, the way we see them, is called perspective. Every character's perspective on the world will be different based on his experiences. It's the author's job to show the reader what the worst experiences can do to a person. When a main character experiences loss, for example, that will shape his vision of the world around him. It's up to the author to use this experience to make this character seem more real to the audience. Is he angry at the world because of the loss? Does he blame himself? Is he depressed? Again, the way the character reacts in this situation is built upon a million other smaller, less impactful, losses. We can't tell the reader about them all because we don't have that kind of time, typically. But it's easy to clue the reader in on what kind of person your character is by giving him BIG LOSS to deal with. It's not a far stretch to imagine that a character who deals with loss by punching it out at the gym might get into fights with people who annoy him, just so he can keep on using that coping mechanism. One of my favorite things to do as an author is to flip the reader's expectations of my character's behavior. Perhaps, up until now, my character has been a quiet, unassuming man in the suburbs. But now I can give him a challenge, a disappointment or a hurt, and show the reader that everything they knew about this character on the surface was simply that-- on the surface! It's a fun and typically painless way to build those characters by playing against reader expectation. Typically, there isn't much to say about a character who is always happy, always gets what he wants, and always wins. Those kinds of characters don't hold the readers' attention because IT'S NEVER THAT EASY! There's no challenge to overcome, no obstacles standing in his path to help us test his mettle. Readers are looking for the rawest, purest moments of emotion from our characters. The best way to provide that is to HURT them a lot. One of my favorite authors, Sherrilyn Kenyon, makes her characters suffer tremendously, but always with the idea that with sacrifice and pain comes the possibility of redemption and reward. Those moments are what bring readers back over and over again. Find it here So, the moral of the story is that authors have the terrible but satisfying job of disappointing characters over and over again, because it is in their darkest moments that we see the true nature of our characters come to light. I'm never above a heartbreak in the pursuit of true character building, but where there is heartbreak their should eventually be love. There are many books where characters are tested again and again, never to find or achieve their reward, but readers come back to them no matter the ending. They've fallen for the characters, the people that the author has created, and will come back for their stories even if their endings are unhappy. So--- disappoint your characters, break them. Because from their pain, great characters will emerge!
I hope, this is part of my future too!
As with any skills, the gap between the professional Dungeon Masters and the everyday enthusiasts like you and I can be enormous. That said, there's a huge amount that we can learn from pro DMs and try to implement to improve our own Dungeons and Dragons games. A word of warning though, while we want to learn as much as we can from these amazing DMs, we have to try not to hold ourselves to their standards. They are often professional storytellers, writers, or voice actors - and often are aided
