Empress | S J Kincaid
35 posts | 31 read | 29 to read
The thrilling sequel to S.J. Kincaid's New York Times bestselling novel, The Diabolic that TeenVogue.com called "the perfect kind of high-pressure adventure." It's a new day in the Empire. Tyrus has ascended to the throne with Nemesis by his side and now they can find a new way forward--one where they don't have to hide or scheme or kill. One where creatures like Nemesis will be given worth and recognition, where science and information can be shared with everyone and not just the elite. But having power isn't the same thing as keeping it, and change isn't always welcome. The ruling class, the Grandiloquy, has held control over planets and systems for centuries--and they are plotting to stop this teenage Emperor and Nemesis, who is considered nothing more than a creature and certainly not worthy of being Empress. Nemesis will protect Tyrus at any cost. He is the love of her life, and they are partners in this new beginning. But she cannot protect him by being the killing machine she once was. She will have to prove the humanity that she's found inside herself to the whole Empire--or she and Tyrus may lose more than just the throne. But if proving her humanity means that she and Tyrus must do inhuman things, is the fight worth the cost of winning it?

Upon my second reading of The Diabolic and The Empress I in preparation for release of The Nemesis later this month I am only more creeped out by these books...in a good way.

Holy crap the whiplash of this book hurts!

I was already having a day where I cried at everything and then the last 1/4 of this happened and I just melted into a puddle at the betrayal. Also, Why do I let authors hurt me with their star-crossed lovers romance?! Also, there's kinda time and space travel which I am ABSOLUTE TRASH FOR.

Linear Lol but the emotions is what makes a book great. Yeah? 5y
staci.reads I adore that series! Can't wait for the next one! 5y

Where do I start? I knew going into it I had some issues with the author. This book amplified upon that ten-fold. The few things I enjoyed about it were completely obliterated. The author doesn't show proper care & respect for her story or characters. She tries desperately to reach for shock value & leaves behind small, messy details. The main character is often immobile with wasted potential, being acted upon vs acting. Huge disappointment.

🌟🌟🌟🌟
Let's make this clear- whenever you think you have things figured out, this book will surprise you. I have never read a book that had this many twists and turns! It's crazy. I've given up guessing at what the hell is going on. It ended quite dramatically.
Insane series..but its a good one. 😎

staci.reads I'm excited for the next one! 6y

Question: do you reread the first book in a series before going on to next book or dive right in? I feel like I need to reread The Diabolic before I start the Empress! I usually don‘t reread though - too many books and not enough time!

Yes! Just the sequel I was looking for! I thought that this book focused more on the political and strategic side of the story, but at the same time still held the element of adventure. I love how S. J. Kincaid developed the relationships between characters even further and how she expressed Nemesis's adjustment into her new life.

Holy CRAP I don't know what just happened, but it was definitely EPIC and EXPLOSIVE. Kincaid really kicks everything up a notch with this sequel — the stakes, the intrigue, and the drama. Not to mention that utterly unexpected, heart-stopping ending! If you're in the mood for some fast-paced, imaginative political sci-fi, I highly recommend this series. You won't regret it! ★★★★☆.

I found out that this book was out and was completely surprised. I mean I can't wait to read it, but the first book ended so well I wasn't expecting a sequel! "The Diabolic" is my all time favorite book and I'm excited to see the continuation of the story! ?

Sometimes when I read a book and I can gauge how the story will end. The Empress is not that kind of book. I enjoyed reading the The Diabolic. I was not prepared for the book to end the way that it did. SJ Kincaid is officially one of my faves. #theempress #sjkincaid

I understand why Neveni did what she did, but at the same time I am annoyed with her for doing it.

Now Nemesis is human after she and Tyrus almost killed the interdict. She finally made love to Tyrus and that scene was beautiful and classy. Bravo! #theempress

I didn‘t expect Nemesis to have a change of heart. I think that she is changing. I also, think that something is going to happen to Tyrus. I‘m worried about him. #theempress #sjkincaid

I was really disappointed with this. They stretched the plot of The Diabolic to the point of ridiculousness. The Diabolic was excellent and could have easily been a stand alone but I think that YA authors are pressured to try to make everything into a series and this time it definitely didn't work 😟

Bookcation74 Oh no! Thanks for the heads up! 7y
melrailey Well boo! I just finished The Diabolic today and was looking forward to this. 7y
Yeah_I_Read @Bookcation74 @melrailey maybe you guys should read it and see what you think. It has a good rating on Goodreads maybe it was just me 😬 7y
