What readers are saying
“I really enjoyed this book! Spent the story thinking this must be based on an existing Ancient Greek myth I hadn’t come across, waited until I’d finished to confirm and was surprised to find this is an original. It really tied well with the style of Greek myths in my opinion.

I found this a really soothing book to read as it flowed really nicely. A great example of literary fiction that paints a really clear picture without using inaccessible language. I think this could be a great first step into historical/literary fiction for many people.”

— Maya Friend, Goodreads“Novalyne is an enchanting, quietly magical read about love, loss and honour through artistry. As I read I assumed that the author was an artist, his attention to detail and description means this story leaps off the page with ease. The faint whisper of myth and fantasy provides a confident foundation for the narrative in a way that is unobtrusive and yet feels natural to believe.
I found Enzo to be an endearing character, the way that his relationship with Nova reveals itself in stages through the book was compelling, warm and heart-rending in equal measure. Above all I loved the vibrancy that Sandro brings to the book. Novalyne is a read that will capture you from cover to cover.”
— Charlotte Walker, Lovereading.com“I really enjoyed getting to read this book, it had that historical fantasy element that I was wanting and enjoyed the mythology of this. It had a great concept and enjoyed the overall feel of this and how well the characters were used in this. The characters felt like they were supposed to and enjoyed getting to know Enzo and how this story was used with them. Hector Mateo-Pino has a strong writing style and was invested in what was going on with the characters.”
