“I’ve appreciated the way Andrea works, so similar to mine. From that moment Iskìda became my goal too.”
Anthony LaMolinara, Academy Award winner for Spider-Man 2 (SFX)
“[Iskìda] A dynamic and original crossover in which Sardinia becomes a magic world to be read compulsively.”
FantasyMagazine
“In its originality, Iskìda succeeds where other fantasys, even more ambitious ones, fail.”
Finzioni Magazine
“What Andrea Atzori achieved with Iskìda of the Land of Nurak is most welcome. In it, Sardinia and its legends are adapted to a literary contest appealing for all young readers.”
Bepi Vigna, Author and Screenwriter [Unione Sarda, 20/10/2012]
“Iskìda of the Land of Nurak is exactly what a young reader who’s introduced to fantasy literature could definitively appreciate. […] There are writers who concentrate only on the protagonist, forgetting the rest of the cast. With Atzori this doesn’t happen. We know perfectly who all the other players are, why they are, and we get involved in how they act.”
Isola Illyon, Web Magazine
“There are books that crave to be understood. And often they are hopelessly pedantic. There are books that crave not to be understood. And usually they turn off the light in the room to hide it is actually empty. There are books that don’t bother to be understood and aim only to let the reader enjoy some hours of entertainment, and many times these books arrive further than all others. Then, there are books that don’t give a damn about understanding, integrity, message, entertainment, and only aim to trample you like a herd of buffalos running from a T-rex. Multiverse Ballad belongs to this last category.”
Luca Tarenzi, Italian Novelist and Literary Translator
“Swords and pistols, the taste of sea together with that of the plastic; fairy tales and adventures and noir and horror… In Multiverse Ballad there’s all and for all. If you pay attention you’ll understand that chaos doesn’t necessarily mean coincidence. Sometimes everything will fall perfectly in place, and others you’ll crave to learn more about; and to do so you’ll turn a page after another, a story after another, voice after voice.”
Aislinn, Italian Author
“Multiverse Ballad describes a future of humanity through the technique of the mosaic: from the deep and unstoppable crisis of the XXI century to the definitive collapse of the technologic civilization, which inaugurates the beginning of a new Middle Age and a disruption of the law of physics as we know them. […] It’s a zapping that can confuse readers unaccustomed to crossovers (from magic realism to horror and cyberpunk), but on the other hand allows literary architectures that are bold as much as captivating.”
Stefano Sacchini, Web Magazine "Cronache di un sole lontano"
“An elevated style of prose, unusual for this times. […] Atzori steps in as a ‘hombre nuevo’ in the scene of contemporary literature.”
La Nuova Sardegna, Reportage 14/01/2012
“[Brogliaccio del nord] This literary debut from a young writer, Andrea Atzori, tells the adventures of a student abroad, in Estonia […]. It is a travel diary written with gifted hand.”
L'Unione Sarda, Newspaper (11/12/2011)
“[Brogliaccio del nord] Atzori fills the pages of his travel diary across Northers Europe with descriptions, impressions but above all emotions, with a fluid, cutting writing, which involves and fully takes the reader down in to the atmospheres.”
L'Unione Sarda, Newspaper (24/12/2011)
“Brogliaccio del nord is a travel diary with a sparkly, stimulating prose. It is emotionally intense, with a modern and shimmering style, keen on details and sometimes capable of instants of deep lyric and rare delicacy. […]”
Sardinews, Newspaper (12/2011)
“Even the most unenthusiastic reader could not resist the adrenaline reading ŠRDN – From Bronze and Darkness by Andrea Atzori; a dark, rough fantasy, with a solid Mediterranean historical setting.”
