Not a bad book, but not the best thing ever. I paused a lot while reading this so I definitely did not get the full experience. I feel like I can see some of the improvements from the first to second book. The perspectives are better and there are no weird metaphors like there had been in Zentith.

I still stand by my statement that Nor should have been the MC. She's more interesting and flawed and I think Andie would have worked better as a sort of mythical figure who we hear of but don't see because she can be underwhelming at times.

Lira is still my girl and I want ebooks and spin-offs from her perspective.

I hope we got more from this galaxy in the future. ( )

*I WAS PROVIDED A PHYSICAL COPY FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS TOUR. THIS DOESN’T AFFECT MY OPINION*

There was something both heartbreaking and exciting about this book that I still can’t get over and won’t be over for a very long time.

Nexus brought back all the memories of Zenith, something I was excited to see after being away from the story and the characters. It was an immediate catchup to what occurred during the last novel and the characters we lost and/or just barely made it out with.

Something I really loved about this novel was the differing attitudes. I love that each character had a different set of attitudes and wasn’t just stuck to being the “try-hard” or “the wannabe, bad queen.” Each of them had multiple roles to play, and I think that was really vital to the formation of the story.

Another thing I loved was the multiple plot twists we were given. And because I’m known for predicting plot twists, I wasn’t as hit or surprised by them, but I still really enjoyed their additions.

However, one thing that really got to me was just how many POVs we were given. I’m not against multiple POVs in any way, shape, or form, but I felt there were just too many happening in this book. I felt like, through some of the chapters, we were just seeing repeat information or filler chapters.

Another thing that kind of got to me was the kind of choppy ending we were given. It seemed like it was very rushed and just thrown together, and I was a little let down by it.

Other than that, though, I did really love this book. I’ve been waiting a LONG time for this book, and I’m so glad I was given the opportunity to read it early and review it for FFBC Tours. For everything listed, I rate Nexus 3.75 stars. I look forward to whatever the authors release next, and I do suggest y’all pick up this read. ( )
