A world no one would believe.
From the moment Lyris is treated to coffee by a beautiful stranger, she has no idea that her life is about to change forever. In her enthusiasm to start at a new school with a new boyfriend, Lyris is almost able to look past his oddities.
Almost.
The way he eyes up her striking red hair.
The way he loves that she’s seventeen. “The perfect age.”
And the way he’s gone from all but begging to show her a specific room in a specific house to making her swear never to even think about it again.
When Lyris doesn't take his strange warnings seriously, she finds that nothing could have prepared her for what lay behind that door.
Suddenly, Lyris finds herself in a world no one would believe. A world where she’s only a few inches tall and giants aren’t creatures from fairy tales. Where humans are no longer the dominant race, but pets auctioned off to the highest bidder. Lyris understands the true danger of such a place, but there seems to be one person on her side.
Her kind and surprised captor.
And while Brindt appears to be sweet and trustworthy, he also straddles the line between seeing her as an equal and a cute animal.
Lyris has to get home… before the one person can turn to becomes the one person who can’t let her go.
To Nowhere is a YA dystopian novel that forces readers to ask what gives one person the right to keep another. Author C.E. Wilson has watched every episode of The Twilight Zone and it shows in her writing.
Buy To Nowhere today to read a dystopian where the one person you need to trust may be the one who can't let you go.
To Nowhere eBook CE Wilson
If you tell most teenagers not to do something, chances are that they’re going to do it. Wyatt should have really thought it through before telling Lyris not to go into the strange room in the abandoned “haunted” house next door to where she and her parents just moved. If only she had listened…But Wyatt originally wanted her to enter, but as he got to know her, he changed his mind, and they started dating. If only she had listened and not explored what was beyond the door…
The set-up of this review sounds like we’re entering The Twilight Zone. Rightfully so, because what Lyris finds beyond the door is another world right out of the classic 50s/60s television show. Actually, more like a different 60s sci-fi TV show: Irwin Allen’s Land of the Giants.
Lyris is soon picked up—literally—by a giant hand and examined by a giant pair of eyes (two different colors including a bright teal one—see the fantastic cover design). Then she is deposited into a cage (like a hamster) by her captor. Though giant, he’s a slightly younger teenager than she is, and his name is Brindt. In this world, humans are treated as pets, and Brindt’s mother sells the humans delivered to her to the highest bidder.
It seems Brindt wants to keep Lyris for himself, despite his mother’s demand that he not have his own pet. Teenagers do exactly what they’re parents tell them not to, even in the giant world. And right there is one of several themes deftly woven into this delicate narrative: No matter how we view one another (as monsters or insignificant), people are the same all over, no matter their size, no matter their shape (there’s a cute scene where Lyris notices Brindt’s ears are pointed instead of rounded like hers), and no matter their appearance (hair color is a significant detail in this story).
Another theme of the story is the importance of communication. The story is told from the first-person point of view of Lyris, so we know her desire to return home to parents that must be worried about her disappearance. Brindt and the giants speak another language, so his desires aren’t immediately known. The language that author C.E. Wilson invented for the giants is unique, and it was a lot of fun trying to figure out certain words as Lyris was struggling with them. Their inability to communicate leads to many misinterpretations. I won’t spoil anyone’s enjoyment of the story by mentioning any of these instances, but it was fun reading to the revelation of the correct interpretations.
And their communication is necessary if Lyris is to get home. Another theme is how trust must be built. Again, I’m as spoiler-free as I can be, but it was the trust that was earned and the character relationships that developed were genuine and organic in the story.
The stakes are built very well throughout the story because the four main characters (Lyris, Brindt, Wyatt, and Brindt’s mother) all have very clear objectives and employ a variety of tactics to achieve them. Their objectives are at odds with one another, and the situation only gets more dire for Lyris. Even the few other caged humans Lyris interacts with are well-developed characters.
This is clearly a Young Adult novel, as three of the main characters are of that age. Hmm…two boys and one girl sets up one of those love-triangles that have become commonplace in YA literature. I won’t call it a love-triangle in this story but instead a trust-triangle that is handled extremely well and enhances the enjoyment of the story and the characters.
My only little nitpicking with the story is that sometimes Lyris repeats the same thoughts and sometimes stays set in her ways when very clear evidence is presented to her. By no means, however, did this diminish my enjoyment of this unique tale.
I’ve always been a fan of Twilight Zone-type stories and stories about disparately sized people. When you throw in strong characters with strong motivations, I’m all in. FIVE GIANT STARS to To Nowhere.

To Nowhere eBook CE Wilson Reviews
4.5 STARS
Hidden portals, abandoned houses, flipping the coin, young love, and friendship. To Nowhere is as very unique novel, not your classic read. At first, it starts off as a spicy young adult romance and then the story takes a whole new unexpected direction. The author successfully keeps you engaged throughout the entire read, wanting to know the ending. I felt it was extremely difficult to predict, which I give an applause to the author for. I absolutely loved the main character's dry humor and sarcasm. Her wit made me laugh a few times throughout. Overall, great read and I highly recommend it, if you are into new world fantasy with an underlying strong moral theme.
It took me more than a few pages to get into this story, because I couldn't guess at what was about to happen. Once I did, though, I found it hard to put down. I can see from other reviews that other readers have found much meaning in the story, as did I. What's interesting is that we each found different layers of meaning. For example, I have always been fascinated by interaction between species - dogs and humans, cats and humans, cats and dogs. How we manage to communicate and how we manage to care for each other despite not perfectly understanding one another. I found this story to be a perfect analogy, and perhaps an indictment of the practice of keeping 'pets' as opposed to welcoming these other species we enjoy so much as respected members of our families.
The main character's crisis of conscience when given a chance to escape her life of being 'owned' by the much larger species gave rise to all sorts of questions in my mind, which I hope the author will explore in a sequel to this engaging and charming story. I'd like to know also what happens to Wyatt - whether he is made to see the error of his ways - and whether Lyris succumbs to the temptation to visit Brindt. If she does, I'll certainly enjoy reading it, as I did this one.
What an entirely different concept! When you think giants and little people, you always think of evil giants eating or killing the poor little beings. To Nowhere took a very different approach and I'm so glad that it did! Lyris is a sweet, strong seventeen year old that has eyes for the wrong young man. He leads her to an abandoned building and is about to do something really dirty, when he suddenly has a change of heart. Only, one problem; he got Lyris imagination going and now she has to see what's in the old abandoned house. What Lyris finds is so unexpected. She suddenly has to deal with something no one could ever imagine, a giant. Brindt is the giant. He's kind and sweet and he truly cares about Lyris and soon their unique relationship blossoms and the realness of this relationship pushed me quickly to the end of the book. The descriptions were beautiful and the ending surprised me and gave me hope that perhaps there is a sequel to this wonderful story. If not, this is a great stand alone story well worth the read!
