She doesn't grow as a character is any significant way because there is nothing that challenges her and what she believes and or her current path in life. We learn of nothing new and in Nexus the rest of the crew is essentially non-existent basically back burner characters.Īs for Andi, there is not much growth in her character and is pretty much the same as she was in Zenith. However, other than that we never got much of any background on Gilly and Breck except for a tad description in Zenith when there was a mass information dump. We had received some background on Lira, Andi's 2nd, in Zenith as they had ended up crashing onto her home planet (idk what it was called because it was just that memorable). Now let's get into the nity gritty stuff. Where to begin? Nexus was written a lot better than Zenith and the words flowed better, but that doesn't mean much when to me Zenith was such a low bar to begin with. I wanted to give a detailed review of this book since there is not a lot out there for those wondering if they should continue with the last book. You know, if you're writing a book set in space, maybe put just a little bit of research into you know. Oh and btw nebulae may look like dense collections of colourful gas and dust, but they are actually spread out over a space encompassing several light years so if you were inside one you would be able to see your surroundings just fine. Gravity would probably rip you to shreds. Pancake courtesy of atmospheric pressure (so no walking around on the solid surface), andī. The pressure generated by the gases even a few meters down into the atmosphere would crUSHĪnd ice giants (Uranus and Neptune in our case) while they are believed to have solid surfaces made of ice and rock. Gas giants (like Jupiter and Saturn in our system)ī. For example, apperentaly people in this galaxy live on gas and ice giants. can never be proven, but let's not get into that). No, no not the science fiction aspects, that I know isn't supposed to be realistic, but the actual legit science that has been tested and accepted (not technically accepted because hypotheses etc. Oh and also the science was fucking atrocious. You know what I mean? Not sure how else to describe it. This series felt like that one kid who sits in the front row of every class and tries to impress the professor (but fails because not only are the facts they're spouting are false but also everyone knows exactly what they're talking about because it's common knowledge). Most of the characters were obvious copies of characters found in other popular YA books, the most obvious being Andy = Celeana from Throne of Glass (I haven't even read the series and it was glaringly obvious), or ALFIE = AIDAN from Illuminae (I mean like seriously only they sound pretty much the same and the acronyms are very similar).
