5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Fantastic!!, 27 Jun 2004
By V. Sully - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having read the first chapter of this on the internet (available at publishers website) I was eagerly waiting to read the rest of the book. I was not dissappointed!
Mr Cormier writes with an ease that is astounding, keeping up the pace but not complicating it so one becomes totally engrossed in reading...I could not put it down! Which I find remarkable for a first time writer.
This book is written in a style that everyone will enjoy but never forgets that at heart it is a Childrens/Young Adult book. It describes Illien's emotions and reactions perfectly and you can believe that you are there experiencing the same things. Mr Cormier never becomes condescending nor falls into the trap of trying to change the story to the extent that it is over complicated or only suitable for adults.
A fantastic read, quick paced and enjoyable for everyone!
I eagerly await the next installment...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great new voice in fantasy, 2 Oct 2003
By Stephen Westcott (Isle of Man) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Nomadin is Mr Cormier's first published novel, which I could not quite believe when reading the book. The prose flows with an expert's hand and the pacing is excellent throughout. The characters are well rounded and not typical stereotypes of the genre, which would be an easy trap to fall into in a tome that sits comfortably with its peers in the YA market upwards. Mr Cormier scatters similes throughout his work to good effect, painting vivid pictures in the reader's mind, making the read thoroughly engrossing.

A liberal amount of humour is written into the book which serves to entertain the reader in this 'young boy coming to power' novel. It is this and the storytelling ability of the writer that keeps the reader wanting to read on. And, when the end is reached, wanting to read book two, which the author informs us is on its way.

The book ends with a few tangled webs still left to resolve. Usually, this would disappoint me, but Mr Cormier manages to end on a feel good note with all the major plot lines addressed while opening new ones for book two.

Nomadin is well worth a read and I would recommend it to all those that enjoy feel-good books. It is well written, holds a good plot and has enough hooks and twists to keep the most critical reader happy. Shawn Cormier is a welcome new talent in fantasy.
