Nyxia Unleashed by Scott Reintgen
3.0
Pretty good, but it didn't draw me in the way [b:Nyxia|27426044|Nyxia (The Nyxia Triad, #1)|Scott Reintgen|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1485432778s/27426044.jpg|47477446] did. The shakeups of the first book have left some fallout to be dealt with, and I liked the storyline and where things went, but there were some things missing for me.
My main criticism is that I wanted Nyxia Unleashed to go deeper than it chose to. For example, some of the boys were clearly suffering from PTSD following their landing on Eden, but it was kind of brushed off. I know that they are making their way through things on their own, but given everything they went through and now being on an alien planet, I wanted a bit more than "I'm here for you, bro."
Teens have intensely rich emotional lives and I wish that had been explored more thoroughly. I think this second book wanted to be about choices and reclaiming the power to define who you are, but unfortunately some of that got lost in the action used to push the plot forward.
That said, just like the first book, things got intense at the end of Nyxia Unleashed, so I do plan to read the final book, [b:Nyxia Uprising|35424766|Nyxia Uprising (The Nyxia Triad, #3)|Scott Reintgen|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1531317687s/35424766.jpg|56800774], to see how it all ends.
