Your Will: Iron Blood, by Davide Zamboni, is an Italian novel that depicts forgiveness, toughness, worship, combat, and second chances.

An ogre, a beastly-looking character, had been enslaved and forced to work in a minefield for many years. His master, Red-Head, enslaved a young girl as well. This young girl, Beatrice, was reported lost at the Benward temple. The Benward temple then sent two executioners, Sergio and Giordano, to free her. When the executioners got there, they faced some resistance from Red-Head and his accomplice, the ogre. The ogre was supposed to be Red-Head's accomplice and fight alongside him; however, he ended up saving Beatrice from a knife attack. The ogre got stabbed and thought he had died, but the executioners saved him, and they took him to the temple in a bid to make him an executioner. Unfortunately, the training and requirements to become an executioner were tedious and challenging. You can read the rest of the story in this book.

Your Will: Iron Blood, by Davide Zamboni, is a novel that talks about the epic lifestyles of Italian soldiers, their adventures, their battles, and their recruitment process. It also mirrored the religious lifestyles of the Italians. The book revolved around several characters, notably the ogre, Sergio, Giordano, Gerone, and so on.

One notable aspect I enjoyed about this book is the characters' development. Each character was rightly introduced and rightly developed. The ogre began as a seclusive, enslaved character and became someone free, chatty, and combative. I loved how Gerome's character grew from a lonely, sad blacksmith to a concerned leader and trainer.

This work aims to show the world that there could be strength in disability. It intends to show how people should change their opinion of disabled people. This was depicted through the ogre's character. The ogre, who looked half-beast, half-human, was looked upon with contempt by the people. Offensive remarks were always made about him until he became a professional executioner.

Unfortunately, I was able to find fault with an aspect of this book. It would have been a much more joyous read if the author had included more dialogues in the story. Also, it would have been great if Beatrice had shown up later in the story. I believe there is more to her character. For these reasons, I would give this book a rating of 3 out of 4 stars. The book was exceptionally edited because I found no errors. I would suggest this be read by older readers because of the vulgar words present in the book. I would recommend this book to lovers of Italian fictional novels. The fact that the book was written in Italian might also be a limitation for some readers. I hope to see the book translated into other languages in the future.

I think stories with enough dialogues make a better read. This seems like an interesting read. Great job.

I couldn’t read a book written in Italian, but that doesn’t mean others who can, shouldn’t. It sounds like not only is it an interesting story, it teaches a moral lesson, too.
