TBR TAKEDOWN: GOODREADS, WEEK 8a

Nyxia (Nyxia Triad #1) by Scott Reintgen

I'm trying to trim down my tbr list(s) and I'm asking for your help! Descriptions and more info under the cut. Please reblog and add your thoughts!

* * * * *

What would you be willing to risk for a lifetime of fortune?

Emmett Atwater isn't just leaving Detroit; he's leaving Earth. Why the Babel Corporation recruited him is a mystery, but the number of zeroes on their contract has him boarding their lightship and hoping to return to Earth with enough money to take care of his family.

Forever.

Before long, Emmett discovers that he is one of ten recruits, all of whom have troubled pasts and are a long way from home. Now each recruit must earn the right to travel down to the planet of Eden--a planet that Babel has kept hidden--where they will mine a substance called Nyxia that has quietly become the most valuable material in the universe.

But Babel's ship is full of secrets. And Emmett will face the ultimate choice: win the fortune at any cost, or find a way to fight that won't forever compromise what it means to be human.

Date added: 2017

Goodreads: 4.14

Storygraph: 3.99

PRO:

Really well rated

Entire series is available from the library in my preferred format (audiobook)

CON:

YA

Every comp title I saw for this is something I'm no longer interested in.

Good rating but I don't know that I've never seen anyone absolutely raving about it?

Less into sci-fi than fantasy

More people need to read the Nyxia by Scott Reintgen it’s literally SO good. It’s dystopia/sci-fi and gorgeously crafted. The characters are very compelling and the plot and world it crafts is so interesting. Def one of my fav reads ever.

Day 21 - Competition

Fun fact; Nyxia's magic was originally modeled after Chara's red knives in some other fanworks! However, I ended up shifting more to a focus of Russ being attack-based and Nyxia being defense-based.

MY REVIEW: 3/5 Stars

At first, I didn't really like this book. But once I had read about a third of it, WOW it really picked up and I had a hard time putting it down.

This science fiction novel is about a group of kids from Earth who are being shipped of to another world to mine a substance called Nyxia. As they travel to the new world, they are tested by the corporation called Babel to see if they are fit to join the expedition on the alien world. As the stakes get higher, the competition becomes more fierce. A very fun read!

I can't wait to read the next book in the series!

More Misty Woods stuff:

Nyxia technically legally owns the property. Technically. Shenanigans were involved in that coming to be seeing as she didn’t previously have a birth certificate.

They dont have an oracle or missions that they do. Most of them just live there full time. Some do leave once they hit 18-20, but they’re welcome to stay as long as they want. Nyxia is currently the oldest resident at 24.

Mythological heritage doesn’t effect status or lodgings, rather age does. The younger you are, the lower in the silo your room is (with a couple older kids/young adults to help guard and care for the little ones)

Exceptions include infants (not too common) and those with disabilities that would prevent them from climbing the silo. Those exceptions have lodgings in the farm house as it has better baby-proofing and disability access. The nymphs who raised Nyxia help out with the littlest ones

The three oldest on the property (Nyxia, Jamison, and Penny) take turns keeping watch from the top of the silo at night where they can survey the upper part of the property.

In edition to the farmhouse, barn, and Silo, there’s also a garden plot and some apple trees in front of the house, and they do have a larger field where they grow different crops that they rotate each year. Theres also a creek running down to a small lake on the property.

They dont have any mythical animals (yet! Nyxia is trying to change that), but they do have a few normal ones! They’ve got chicken hutch, a couple dogs, a barn cat, and two horses.

Theres plenty of woodland on and surrounding the property as well, so whatever they dont grow or raise themselves, they can hunt or forage. Though they DO make trips into town for other food and supplies, they’re largely self sufficient.

A funny moment in royal AU

Nyxia: *stares at Juno in batform* …. ❤️

Nyxia: *proceeds to follow him everywhere*

"...Hey, Juno? Uh... is there a reason why a bat with a bow collar is following you around??"

"How should I know? The little thing simply started following me after last night; I didn't even know she was around until now."

"O-kaaaaay." Isn't questioning how Jupiter knew the bat is a girl. "Well, are you gonna send her away?"

"What?? Of course not; I'm not a monster." He looks genuinely offended. "She isn't bothering me, so she can do what she wants."

"...Right."
