The Nemesis by S.J. Kincaid

4.0

**NO MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS REVIEW**

"You own my fate, but you will never own my will."

Bruh, this book was probably the best in the series. There were so many twists and turns and secret plots I couldnt keep count. And I even cried, the heck. I didnt realize I was so attached... The writing is about the same, all the space mumbo jumbo and technology and stuff that I do not really care for. But the anguish in this book, all the latent themes of belonging, of family, of love, of hate, they were all intertwined within this novel. it was all o profound and provocative. It really makes you think about...what it truly means to be human, and to be free.

Nemesis is a mixture of emotions, and is at war with her nature v. nurture the entire book. Half the time she doesnt know who to trust or who to believe, except herself and her new family. She wants to just free, but she realizes she is an unwilling leader in a galatic revolution, and the time for hiding is no more. does she want to be this leader? No. Will she, of course. But that doesnt mean she will just stay down and be a figurehead. Nemesis is so bold and almost as cunning as Tyrus and I love it. I really loved her character, she reminded me of celeana, unashamed and unapologetic. She does what has to be done...with only a bit of scheming behind the scenes.

Tyrus is intriguing...so much is going on in that mind and even the reader will have conflicted feelings for him.Is he an enemy? Is he is a friend? Is he a foe or a lover. Is a huge mystery and just...a really well written character. Like, the foreshadwing is there in the book, but the author draws u in that we forget...who he is and how his mind works. Which makes everything he does intriguing and exciting.

I actually liked the side characters too. They gave Nemesis something and someone to fight for. She didnt lose hope. SHe kept pressing on. They were always giving her motive and opportunity. And for that I thank them, for being more than plot devices.

This was a tangled end to a complex seires and a wild ride. I enjoyed it. if you want to enjoy it to, read the series.
