It’s a watered down version of Red Rising with a very distinctive main character. Recommendations: the Nyxia Triad is one of the better YA series I’ve read, and I enjoyed it mostly for its competition and world-building elements. This one just didn’t tickle my fancy the same, but I still liked the resolution. Overall, I’m glad to have read this series – I enjoyed the first two books immensely. The story did eventually provide enough recap for me to recall everything, but it took a while, but even then the deaths and victories felt very distant. My issue was compounded because of how long it had been since I’d read the second book – it loses a little of the impact when you can’t remember much about the side characters. The main character, Emmett, didn’t get a lot of page-time, which I missed because it was his unique view on the world that helped hook me into the story in the first place. As a stand alone installment, it was quite weak by comparison.Īnother problem was my lack of investment in the characters. From a construction standpoint, I think it would’ve made for a stronger finish had the series been a duology, and final conflict shortened to wrap up the second book. … whereas book 3 was kindly just one long drawn out fight with few dynamics (and practically zero fun-factor elements). Book 2 had a lot of dazzling world exploration, “magic” training as they learned how to use Nyxia, and some fantastic alien culture immersion. Not to mention exciting interpersonal conflicts and rivalries. Book 1 included a ton of engaging training sequences and compelling unknowns to discover. Part of that was because of the lack of stimulating story components. I just couldn’t get into it with the same gusto. GoodreadsĮven though Nyxia Uprising wrapped up one of the better YA trilogies I’ve read lately, I didn’t enjoy it nearly as much as the first two books. As the Imago world falls, this is the last chance to rise. Win this time, and they’ll survive Babel’s twisted game once and for all. As both sides struggle for the upper hand, the fight leads inevitably back into space, where Emmett, his crewmates, and their new allies will fight one final battle for control of the Genesis ships. Now the group must split up to survive the hostile terrain and reach another launch station. A perfect plan until the Genesis team’s escape route was destroyed. After building eight secret launch stations, the Imago hoped to lure Babel down to their doomed planet as they left it behind. Eden’s two moons are on a collision course no one can prevent. Babel’s initial attack left their home city in ruins, but that was just part of the Imago’s plan. The Overview: Desperate to return home to Earth and claim the reward Babel promised, Emmett and the Genesis team join forces with the Imago.
