From the #1 New York Times bestselling authors of Zenith comes the dazzling finale to the Androma Saga, where stunning betrayals and devastating secrets expose an embattled galaxy to the ultimate nightmare.
Her ship is gone, her crew is capture and notorious mercenary Andi Racella is suddenly a fugitive, ruthlessly hunted across the galaxy. the bloodthirsty queen Nor now rules most of the galaxy and she'll stop at nothing to destroy her most hated adversary.
Andi will risk anything, even her precious freedom to stop Nor. However as her crew fight to regain their freedom, Andi and her unlikely ally Dex discover a threat far greater than anything they've faced before.
Only by saving their mortal enemy can they make one last desperate strike to save the galaxy, unaware that a shattering, centuries-old secret may demand the most wrenching sacrifice of all.
In Zenith we meet an all-girl space crew, fighting for their survival in a galaxy run on lies and illusion where no-one can be trusted. With betrayals, sinister plans for revenge and the spectre of a war that could tear apart worlds, this space opera is full of action, fantastical intrigue, and not to forget a steamy star-crossed romance. nexus raises the stakes in this battle for survival, autonomy and freedom - will the battle demand the ultimate sacrifice?
This is the sequel to Zenith, the second part of the Androma Saga. It reminded me a little bit of the later books in the Red Rising series, the more space, planet hopping, and fighting of houses ones. Obviously this is more YA orientated, with a lot more twee energy and dialogues.
I would suggest reading the first in the series to get a better feeling for the entire cast of characters and the premise. It's far too vast to just read one book, and come away with the entire story.
There is a focus on Andi in this book, especially on the darkness that appears to be consuming her from within. At certain points she feels she has to choose between the group and said darkness. It depends on which is more enticing and offers up a better solution in that moment.
It's space opera come dystopian sci-fi with elements of fantasy. A fast paced adventure that starts out with a superbly delicious villain in the main role. The reader then watches as the moral dilemmas and the relationships force the villainous nature to retreat and the character re-evaluates what is more important to all, as opposed to just her.
It's a way to introduce younger readers to the exciting genres of space opera, sci-fi and the complex world-building of the aforementioned. It's often so fast that there is no time for character depth or deeper dialogue. I wonder what the read would be like if it had less of a spacious minute feel and more defining moments instead.
