Landen Gonzalez | 1 comments My name is Landen Gonzalez, I am a 20-year-old writer trying to get eyes on my book so I can refine it absolutely for publishing. As it often goes, the people in my real life are not very interested in reading it, so I've taken to the internet.

My world of Ihlok Vartul is a multicultural fantasy. That is to say, instead of JUST knights, bards, and cobblestone roads, my story has all that in addition to EVERYTHING else--- Fantasy Samurai, Roman Legions, Inca Empires, Catholic Knights, African Zulu Warriors, Islander Sailors, and all manner of mythological monster, spirit, and god!

BLURB:

"In Ihlok Vartul, magic and spirits are as common as machines and animals. Of these, there is no worse demon than Shujaa Mkubwa and his Dying Sun Empire, who, in a quest to kill the creator god Mbombo, have turned their home continent into a hellish slave pit, forever mining deeper towards his buried home.

The story of The Blessed & The Basic (Book 1) is that of a humble family caught in the gears of the Dying Sun's machine. Faraji Ngubane, his cynical son Fortus, and their found family struggle every day to maintain their souls in the face of the unrelenting dehumanizing mine. It's a horrible balancing act, and the arrival of newcomer Merek Corbin is sure to upset it."

I would appreciate any amount of feedback you could provide me, and would desire thorough, serious feedback that understands the world and characters of my story, and evaluates the effectiveness of worldbuilding, character dynamics/psychology, narrative/plot progression, prose and style, and the general pace, structure, etc.

In essence, any way you could help me, as thoroughly as you could, would be a game-changer. Of course, I'd be more than willing to review your services just as thoroughly, especially because of the generosity of your initial offer.
