About the author

Michael became a writer to explore, worlds, words and people. Throw in a love of all things science and the Ringlander universe was the inevitable outcome.
When not writing, or thinking about writing Michael spends time with family, plays drums, designs, codes and fights off the little voice that beckons him constantly to sit down and do nothing.

We meet Kyira, who is out in the frozen wilds being tracked by hunters. Her brother has gone missing, and along with their father, she’s trying to find him.
Throughout the book, we also get some POV chapters from her brother, and from other key characters who are involved in the rebellion against their oppressors, the Bohr. We also get into the minds of some of the Bohr as well, to get a viewpoint from all sides of the conflict.
With this rebellion, as well as the actual rising up and fighting back, we also get spies who get very close to the enemy, risking their lives for the cause.
Some of my favourite scenes were from this part of the story, with close calls and sacrifice making for very exciting reading, and Fia becoming one of my favourite characters as she was involved in much of this.
One thing that really stands out with this book is the worldbuilding, in the written sense, it’s good, solid stuff, with history and lore and also a good sense of the physical world as well. But it’s the physical world in particular where this really stands out for me.
The map is beautiful for the detail in which it was made and I think the physical world that Jackson has designed really helps with the story as well, because the world almost becomes a character itself, with various traits and characteristics that almost give it a personality of its own.
I really enjoyed reading this. I had some characters I was very interested in, across different interweaving storylines, and a good mix of war and rebellion, politics, family and more.

The world of The Ringlander presents the reader with a rich ensemble of characters. Between the covers, you’ll find Fia, the spy who’s playing a dangerous game that doesn’t go as planned, Hassan, Kyira’s brother, who joined the army to find his own path in life, and Laeb, a skilled strategist in the rebel army. Jackson goes deep into each character, so we can feel what they feel when faced with betrayal, tough choices, and even joy.
The Ringlander: The Path and the Way has a very detailed world, so if, like me, you love exploring new places, you won’t be disappointed. The characters travel from various parts of the world to the city of Tyr, where it comes to a head in a clash between the king’s army and the rebels. But here is where Jackson pulls it out of the bag because the finale isn’t what you would expect. The characters and worlds collide in an epic conclusion.
I can see how The Path and the Way became SPFBO7 semi-finalist. It’s a fast-paced adventure, with high stakes, magic and characters fighting for a better future.
Ok so first up I want to give props for this being a debut fantasy novel!
I could feel the passion that was put into this story and I really enjoyed it.
I thought the world was really unique and the world building, although a little overwhelming at the start, I got used to it eventually!
There is also a glossary in the back and honestly it was super helpful and I would love for more authors to do this. I think it allows for more distinctive world building without having to do the usual info dumping!
The settings in this book were so atmospheric and really set the tone.
I love feeling the brutality of environments and our characters having to survive them.
It had some great action sequences and heart pounding moments too.
I liked all the characters and really enjoyed reading from Kyria and Fias narratives. I will say however though that there were a lot of characters that we were following, as this book is in third person I found it hard to connect with all of them because of it. I think a multiple first person POV would have made it easier for me to get more emotionally invested. That’s just my personal opinion though.
Also the pacing in some places was a little off for me, which could also come down to the fact that we switch to different characters quite often.
That and a few grammatical errors, which I’m assuming were because I have a review copy, were the only issues I had!
Overall I’m really impressed and I am excited for the future sequels.
I gave this one 4⭐️.
