Nyxia by Scott Reintgen
5.0
HOLY CRAPOLA!
Nyxia was AHHHMAZINGGG! I loved Emmett so much and really enjoyed the adventure and what he went through in this book. Okay, so Nyxia is about ten teenagers who are recruited to mine a precious mineral from a distant planet named Eden. Sounds cool right? Spoiler alert: I would not want to mine anything from a different planet sooo... I would not volunteer as tribute. Sorry, not sorry? Well Emmett does because who everyone gets to go and do the deed.. well, they earn a large sum of money. Emmett needs money, like everyone else that is joining, because his mom is severely sick.
Remember how I said that there were ten teenagers? Well, there was a catch (like there always is!) and well, only eight actually got to go. Color me shocked people. Turns out our star pupil wasn't always a star. Nope, Emmett was clawing his way from the bottom until the very end. Luckily for him, things turned out great and his mom was doing better down on earth.
Okay, so long story short: I loved this book. I was hooked from the beginning. I developed so many questions that eventually got answered while the story was unfolding. The book also gave off so many vibes from other books, like Hunger Games meets Divergent. Which is probably why I loved it so much.
I loved Emmett and the relationships he formed while during these trial runs. I freaking loved Kayla and I WAS DISTRAUGHT WITH WHAT HAPPENED TO HER. My heart broke into so many tiny splinters. I hurt all over and I have no idea how to deal with this kind of pain. I mean, Emmett was like sad for a hot second then a new girl came along and he was like.. aww yeahhh!
I already have the second book in this triad for an ARC and I am so freaking pumped to dive into it! I hope it's even more AMAZING!
