"Today fantastic literature seems to suffer stagnation, it's hard to find something original or passionate. There are no surprises. No color. There are few exceptions. In this case, "The Black Violin" is a clear exception. There is no point of comparison with many inexperienced pens that I have found my way with the faithful narration of Sandra Andrés Belenguer. And, the central theme of the novel, could not be better: the so-called "Phantom of the Opera" is a great source of mystery, passion and romance. Any author may not dare to venture into a novel with such a character that brings a weight on his shoulders so enormous, but Sandra is brave and captivates us from the start with a perfect narrative structure, accurate and a silent promise that reading, finally, it will be a smile and even some furtive tears silenced for the beautiful voice of Erik, while he cheers from his famous box number 5.
Sandra Andrés Belenguer brings us the myth of Phantom of the Opera and does it with heart in hand, taking from sighs of love, emotion and sadness with a wonderful prose and unforgettable characters. But above all, feature a romance ending that has nothing to envy the old Gothic romanticism and will leave you with goosebumps. "The Black Violin" may endure in history of fantasy literature for being a national tastefully book, written with tenacity and, above all, passion. Do not disappoint ".  Mientras Lees.


"Sandra knows like nobody orchestrating a plot full of intrigue, romance and mystery through careful language millimeter with a series of images and metaphors that give the novel an almost poetic style (I've finally found a novel in which the author gives much importance to both the language and the plot). The ending is fantasticLuna Lunera.


"This novel is romantic, yes, but not cloying at all. Sandra knows to combine virtuosity with the right doses of action, romance, mystery, intrigue, and fantasy so we're driving by a story line like a symphony composed in which the characters, as instruments, are in and out, accompanying and continuously enhancing the young violin player so delight us with a soft, delicate yet powerful and energetic music. This novel, in which past and present intertwine in a masterful way, is able to transport the delicate notes of the violin, from the current Paris at the beginning of the twentieth century Europe, and make us feel at every moment. We can enjoy a quiet and relaxed, intimate, drifting for its harmonious cadences, sometimes gentle, sometimes strong, when the action required, but always with the feeling of those enjoying a well-orchestrated piece.

"The Black Violin is a different story, a story full of mystery, questions, secrets and twists that make you bite your nails. It has a very good plot, based largely on a familiar story: The Phantom of the Opera, yet is an entirely new and Sandra Andrés Belenguer manages to hold your hand drive you this new way and accompany Christelle in the search for the truth about her and all that that legend holds.The mystery is maintained throughout the story, never lose interest.
This book is very well documented, researched, giving it depth, complexity. It tells us that it is very well thought out and that the author put a lot of dedication to create a very rich history, including much information, many aspects related to the legend of the Phantom. " Entre Libélulas.


"In The Black Violin we can see a whole lot of research performed by Sandra, a job that has taken to visit places where only a privileged few gain access and which we witness through his skill as a writer, so bright if we really had been there ...
As an example I can speak of a chapter in which he describes the city of Delphi, where according to the Greeks was the center of the world. Well, this server has come true and landscape for the second time thanks to Sandra, as clearly as the first.
If what Sandra wanted to write this novel was entrasen we want to read Leroux's classic novel, get it comfortably. And if you simply wanted to create a mysterious atmosphere and enjoy a novel for readers of all ages. It is a clear recommendation and a book that anyone will enjoy".
