The Road to Nyn is a fantasy novel written by a new author, Brian G. Michaud. The story will remind you of J.R.R. Tolkien’s writing. Like Tolkien, Michaud has created a fantasy world where the characters are believable, and I don’t only mean that the human characters are believable, but so are the fairies, dyads, goblins et al. The detail and pace bring life into the story.
The author
manages to travel to Nyn with the reader.
From the beginning when Kay almost loses the tournament, due to
skullduggery, the reader cares about this character. In fact, Michaud shows the good in all the
good characters, making you love them.
The story
begins with a quest. It’s a very noble
quest—to save the people of Devonshire: Kay’s parents and sister, along with the
others, who have been captured to serve as slaves to the goblins, in the land
of Nyn. Kay sets off with the wizard,
Alamin, a dog and a fairy. Their
adventurous travels take various twists and turns. At times, you may need to put the book down,
but you can’t. You have to see what
happens next.
It’s a
Tolkienian journey. It’s a classic story
between good and evil. Kay and friends
fight and win over the evil Lord of Nyn, and his goblin friends. It’s not a spoiler to tell the reader that
good triumphs over evil, because that’s the way it should be.
There is
even a budding love story in the works.
The Road to Nyn has it all: feats of daring do, adventures,
twists, and a happy ending. The story is
in achieving the end. Kay, who in the
beginning, gave up his dream of becoming a knight, proves through his quest,
that he has all the prerequisites to become a knight.
Although
this book will be found in the Young Adult section, adults will find it
compelling, too. The characters are
endearing. The story is classic. The pace is fast. The dialogue is real. The plot’s imaginative twists and turns are
magically skillful. The ending is as it
should be.
Let’s hope
Brian Michaud will pen another tale, soon.
