Accuracy of Book Profile

It is accurate.

Draw of Story

The fact that it’s a story that takes place in a fantasy land, with echoes of classics like The Lord of the Rings.

Possible Drawbacks

Amid so many characters, names of things, and places, there is a lack of a more objective thread that guides us in this new world of adventures and maintains interest throughout such an extensive narrative.

Use of Special Effects

THE STORY RELIES HEAVILY ON SPECIAL EFFECTS

Primary Hook of Story

The leading hook is an epic adventure in a classic style of good versus evil, with narratives full of battles, adventures, great dangers, and romances.

Fanbase Potential

There is great potential for building a large and loyal fanbase, especially among fantasy fans. However, for an adaptation to be successful, the story needs to be more focused and centered on a great threat, maybe even with fewer characters, but that are more and better developed to the point of identifying the characteristics of each one well.

Awards Potential

There is excellent potential for building a large and loyal fanbase, especially among fantasy fans. However, for an adaptation to be successful, the story needs to be more focused and centered on a significant threat, maybe even with fewer characters, but more and better developed so the public can identify the characteristics of each one.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS - JUST LIKE THE FIRST PART OF TOLKIEN’S STORY, THE HEROES SET OUT IN AN ENTOURAGE OF REMARKABLE PEOPLE TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM A GREAT EVIL. GAME OF THRONES - ALSO A FANTASY AND COMPLEX BATTLE BETWEEN KINGDOMS, FULL OF BETRAYALS AND DUBIOUS CHARACTERS.

What’s New About the Story

The creation of legends such as the crystals that guard evil spirits is original to a certain extent. However, the characters and the plot are too similar to other narratives about fantasy journeys. It would be essential to bring more unique aspects that differentiate the book from thousands of others in the same genre.

Lead Characters

The lead character is an honorable, courageous, and justice-loving monarch who, while keeping a great secret, always tries to do the best he can to help others.

Uniqueness of Story

It’s not a rare gem. As a rather extensive book, there is a lack of further explanation on various aspects of the plot. In addition, the narrative ends up being exaggeratedly confusing due to an infinity of names and expressions that the public is not used to and that do not receive the proper attention from the author.

Analyst Recommendation

WORK IN PROGRESS

Justification

The book is a work in progress because, perhaps due to its enormous size and the excess of plots that the author had to deal with, the narrative becomes excessively confusing. Although the universe created here is very developed, with its own rules and characteristics, much remains to be explained for us to understand the whole. Villains, for example, are a problem. There are an awful lot of them, but we don’t really know what differentiates one from the other, which one is more threatening or how they work together. This undermines the strength of this dark threat and makes the clashes between good and evil less compelling than they could be. Despite being a story with a lot of content, it lacks special attention to details that could make people fall in love with this fantasy universe.

Tips for Improvement

Perhaps one of the best things to do is apply the concept of less is more, which doesn’t necessarily mean reducing the size or scope of this epic narrative. On the contrary, fans of the genre often like it. One can reduce the number of characters, make references to fewer entities and events from the past, and, instead, occupy the space that remains by delving into their personalities and histories. This is a crucial part of getting the audience involved with the plot. The dialogues are another aspect that could be worked on better. The problem is that it takes up a lot of space with unnecessary conversations and lines precisely when the plot should be moving forward at full speed. The very positive point is that most of the lines are written in an archaic way, which is adequate but also not impossible to understand. The story works as a fantastic tale about good versus evil, but in the middle of the way, it is necessary to base it all on a cohesive universe, in which we want to root for these heroes and hate the villains. It would be best if you felt better about how this world is built, what are the aspirations and thoughts of the main characters and the relationship between them. For this, the book must undergo extensive revisions and rewritings to be ready for the challenge of an audiovisual adaptation, whether for TV or cinema.
