danizay 's review for:
The Diabolic
by S.J. Kincaid
This was a re-read for me, but because I read this book before I had this blog, I figured I would write up a review for it. I only re-read books I really love, so the fact that I re-read this one means something. My first time reading this book, I absolutely fell in love with this world and the characters. I can say this proved true the second time around!
I absolutely adore books that take place in space. This book primarily takes place in the Six Star galaxy. I loved the world and the setting Kincaid created. There are humanoid creatures created for the Grandiloqy (basically the rich who control the rest of the galaxy.) Nemesis is one of these humanoid creatures called a diabolic. She was specifically created to be a bodyguard to the daughter of a Senator, Sidonia. Nemesis is bonded to Sidonia to love and protect only her and no one else.
As the book progresses, you can see how Nemesis grows as a character. From the day she was created, she was told she is incapable of love or humanity. Throughout the book, Nemesis proves this to be false. I loved watching her character develop and how she grew a sense of love and understanding not only for herself, but for those around her.
There are some plot twists thrown into the story line which I really appreciated. I always enjoy being surprised by a book. I can say that this book was in no way predictable, which to me is great. I really don't like when I can predict the outcome of a book.
Overall, I think The Diabolic has a great mix of world-building, plot, and characters. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves space and fantasy. I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars!
