Nozim's Legacy: A Shattered Heritage

Nozim's Legacy: A Shattered Heritage

They say powerful families eventually become core pillars of any kingdom and empire, that eventually, they would grow so powerful they would become impenetrable to outside forces. And yet, one such behemoth fell to a mere surprise attack. How? These were Alex's thoughts for as long as he ran from his falling family. Shoved into a carriage and separated from his parents, forced to leave his home and start anew inside a mere kingdom. Hunger forced his hand, making him turn to a place that welcomed him. A place that doubles as a home for orphans, for those unwanted, and for those sold by their parents for a bit more coin ...and a slaughterhouse for a lot of these poor souls. Hello readers. Author here. I feel the need to write my thoughts here so there won't be any problems further down the line. What I want to write is a mostly pure-Fantasy novel, so don't expect the MC to be the absolute best in everything he does, says, or thinks, at least for the starting bit. I am still trying to make heads or tails about this novel after all. In any case, that would be a long way off. The world I envision is a bit dark, and I plan to tackle some more mature themes if I get the chance. So, with that said, I don't want to read a 1-star or 2-star review of some kid who got into my novel expecting to get a quick dose of dopamine and receive little in return. The novel is going to be a slow burner, and your job as readers will be to pick it apart, piece by piece. Look forward to missing links, unfinished storylines, and potential plot twists. Feel free to comment wherever you want. I love talking with you, the readers, about the future of this story and where it could go next. It's as fun for me to write it as it is for you to enjoy reading it. I am from Europe, so English is not my first language, which is why I wholeheartedly accept constructive criticism, a rare breed of reviews here. If you notice that I make the same mistake twice, a grammatical one for example, I would rather you tell me the correct way to use it than just shrug it off and say, "Grammar bad". If you want something else from what is going on here, even though my work may not be the most unique one out there, I hope you will give it a try. Oh? You're still reading this? In that case, you may receive a snippet of more information about our favourite and perfect (Sarcasm) MC. "Where are you from, kid?" Asked a grizzled old man, looking at a tired and wet boy no older than eight. "I seek shelter, mister." The boy responded weakly, trying his hardest not to faint on the spot. "This is no shelter, boy. If you want to rest, try your luck elsewhere." The man shook his head. He tried closing the door but the kid shoved his hand to prevent it. Ignoring the blinding pain in his arm, the boy pleaded. "I know you take in kids like me. Please." The boy begged, the strength in his legs starting to give out. The old man clicked his tongue. "We kill kids, boy." "Some survive. Please." The boy passed out.

I would recommend 'Drown' by Junot Díaz. It's a collection of short stories that gives insights into the lives of Dominican immigrants in the United States. The stories are often poignant and real. 'Dreaming in Cuban' by Cristina García is another good one. It tells the story of three generations of Cuban women, their lives in Cuba and in the United States, and how their family is affected by the political and social changes. Also, 'The Alchemist of Lovers Lane' by Lane Von Herzen is set in a Hispanic - influenced world and is a story full of mystery, love, and self - discovery.
Must - Read Graphic Novels for Hispanic Heritage Month

One great graphic novel is 'Love and Rockets' by the Hernandez brothers. It's a classic that delves into the lives of Latinx characters in a unique way, with a mix of different storylines and art styles that really capture the essence of Hispanic cultures. Another is 'La Borinqueña', which features a Puerto Rican superheroine. It's not only an exciting read with great action but also a celebration of Puerto Rican heritage, exploring themes like identity and social justice. A third option could be 'Daytripper' by Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba. While not strictly about Hispanic heritage in an obvious way, it has a very Latin - influenced sensibility in its storytelling and art, and it's a beautifully crafted exploration of life and death.

You should check out 'La Familia Grande'. It's a graphic novel that beautifully portrays a large Hispanic family, their traditions, and the relationships between family members. Another one is 'The Life of Cesar Chavez in Comics'. It educates readers about an important figure in Hispanic history. And 'Pride of Baghdad' by Brian K. Vaughan, while not strictly Hispanic - themed, has a similar feel in terms of exploring the lives of characters in a complex and war - torn setting, much like some Hispanic - influenced stories.

Another is 'The Censors' by Luisa Valenzuela. This story delves into the oppressive nature of a dictatorship. A man tries to get a letter through the censors but gets caught up in a cycle of self - censorship and paranoia. It gives a great insight into the political situation in some Hispanic countries at certain times.
