The only thing I can complain about in this aspect is that I wish the plot twists were a little more dramatic. I loved the twists and found them to be fitting with the story line, but still twisty enough that we’re all trying to figure out what the hell just happened. Reintgen really pulled out all the stops on the plot twists. (And we’re not back from hell yet because those PLOT TWISTS OH MY GOD). The buildup was great, more and more things were happening and it was culminating into something that was going to burst and then BAM! It burst and everything went to hell. It was super entertaining and thrilling and in a way, it was just too fast-paced for me.īut Nyxia Unleased had a much better pacing, and I just love the rise and fall of the storyline. There was a lot of action going on and like Warcross, I was just a little overwhelmed by the amount of plot in comparison to everything else. This is a weird complaint, but Nyxia was too high-octane for me.

There were two things I didn’t like in Nyxia: how high-octane it was, and how trope-dependent it was. The things I didn’t like in Nyxia were all fixed, and then Reintgen even added a few more things that I had no idea I wanted, and I’m so glad I got a chance to read this! Ok, I really enjoyed Nyxia, even though there were a few things I wasn’t into, but HOLY SHIT WOW THIS WAS SO MUCH BETTER.Įven though my star rating is only half a star higher (yeah, crazy), Nyxia Unleased was far superior to book one.

There’s actually not really any major spoilers for book 1 ahead.

Will the Genesis team make it out alive before it’s too late? Now Emmett and the rest of the Genesis survivors must rally and forge their own path through a new world, trying to extract enough nyxia to satisfy their employers and get their way back home, all while playing nice with the indigenous Adamite population.īut Emmett and the others quickly realize they are caught between two powerful forces-Babel and the Adamites-with clashing desires. It didn’t take long for Emmett Atwater to learn that Babel’s competition was full of broken promises, none darker or more damaging than the last one.
