pickHoly, was this book ever a trip. I constantly felt suspense at the twists that this book presents at you in the first act. The second act turns into a police thriller, where you feel a constant sense of dread and frustration, knowing Nick is right, but is he morally right?? And the third act, although ending the book well, makes you feel so helpless. Really glad I picked this up with my Audible credit.
pickThis Audiobook was truly something else. So much so that I was compelled to sit through all 700 pages again. I‘ll tell you right now that I was not disappointed. Going in to this my expectations were low, maybe a good narrator, but I was surprised to see that every character in the book had a dedicated voice actor. The book used convincing sound effects and a HAL-sounding AIDAN. Sometimes you could feel the emotion these characters were having!
so-soThis book is a bit on the fence for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the unique plot device and setting of Nine, but it was lacking in a few areas, mainly being, backstory. The book places us right into this world, which is fine, but at no point is it explained how this world came to be, it‘s only hinted at. Other than that and a few plot holes, this book did keep me reading for about a month. There‘s really no need for a sequel, but a prequel fits well.
panHonestly- this book was not very good (for me). The book had very little action and Too. Much. Dialogue. Of course this is my opinion but very rarely was I excited to turn the page. The book does have a sort-of interesting plot but verges more on the realistic fiction side than the dystopian future side. I do want to give regard to the two action scenes that were actually exciting. For me I would rate this book a 3/10, but this is my opinion.
pickThis book was honestly the pinnacle of sci-fi, up there with Illuminae on my favourite books. Though it isn‘t hardcore sci-fi like Illuminae, it would be something like a “lost” sci-fi. The book takes place on a cavern filled planet where our characters were stranded years ago after an attack from an alien species. They must constantly fend off attacks from the “Krell” and untangle the past - before they crashed. 9.5/10 would recommend too anyone.
pickI recently finished reading Nyxia Unleashed and it was the conclusion I‘ve always wanted for this series. The book wraps up as we see our heroes descend to Earth after their final battle with Babel. The ending to this series was the best and tidy wrap-up us fans needed, with the right amount of mystery and the thought of the unknown to keep us thinking, even after we‘ve read the last word. I would 8/10 recommend this series to any sci-fi lover.
pickA short read but a great one! I‘ve always been a fan of lemony and this book just adds to my eternal love for him :P. I really enjoyed the orchestral music that went along with this, it added a whole new layer to what would be a simple picture book! Super excited to go meet Lemony Snicket in real life!
I love the cover for this book! It suits the futuristic tone of the book so well! And the sentinels suit on the left? Love it! How‘s the book going you ask? Great! Read it! (I‘m realizing as I proof read this how hyper I sound)
Hey litsiers! (Is that what we call ourselves???) Sorry for being inactive lately, but do not fear fellow litsiers (I'm going with that now) for I have been reading over the summer! I've finished a lot of great reads, such as Nyxia Unleashed and Steelheart! Sticking with this superpowers theme, I'm reading Renegades, which is going a bit slow, but I'll let y'all know how it went when I finish!
I thought he was done. I thought that after Never Say Die we would say our final goodbyes to Alex and move on. Nope! I was wrong!
Done Nyxia! What a great read! Loved the sci fi atmosphere with the element of competition! No time for a break though, my stack beside my bed keeps growing.
Ah, the joy of new books.
Comment which book you think I should read next!
Finished! And wow what a great wrap up to the series! Can't wait for the movie in a couple years!
pickSummary: After the colony of Kerenza IV is attacked by a BeiTech, tech genius Kady Grant, and ex-boyfriend Ezra Mason are stranded aboard two different escape ships, science vessel Hypatia, and UTA dreadnought Alexander. Pursued by BeiTech warship Lincoln, it's a frantic race to Jump Station Heimdall, a journey no one is sure they can make. This review is original and in my own words.
pickI would like to introduce you to the first book in the Illuminae series, Illuminae. This book is written in the style of text messages, documents, transcripts, and everyone's favourite murderous artificial intelligence , AIDEN. This book is so amazing and I very highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great read! Don't let the thickness of this book turn you away, you'll be missing out! Going to give a summary in a separatepost read it!
Yesssss
Did y'all here about the hunger games prequel? My guess is it's going to be about the dark days of Panem. What do you think?
Got my notification from the public library that the final book of the Illuminae Files series, Obsidio, is ready for me to pick it up! I'm so excited to finish this amazing trilogy!
