Who is the enemy now?
Let me start by saying I liked this one. I don’t think I liked it more than the last book, my gut reaction is a 3.5. But I also DO think I liked it more than the last book because we aren’t in routine simulations anymore and there is so much more to see and learn. It was so great to finally get down to business on the planet surface, see some relationships grow and twist and burn and rage and...damn. Getting answers to the fallout of the final chapters was more painful than I imagined. But mix that with a new world to explore, lots a monsters and aliens, a healthy dash of shade and political intrigue, and this was pretty darn good for a centerpiece of a trilogy.The next book is going to be the true test of how I feel about the whole series. I sort of wish it were here already. That next cover is glorious! And I think the author has such a great handle on the plot and all the twists and surprises that we will be in for a delicious finale. So 4 stars it is! Can’t wait for the next one!

Just as good as the first
And that is high praise, as I thought the first Nyxia book was outstanding. This review will be short because I have a third book to read! I love the characters and the way they weave love and kindness into their interactions. I appreciate the writing style, which seems like I am being told a story by a good friend. There are surprises and joy along with some sad losses. Whatever happens, it is always interesting. Here is hoping our heroes do as well for themselves in book 3. Thanks, Scott, for a great series. I will be checking out anything else you write for sure.

I was a big fan of Reintgen's first book, and Nyxia Unleashed does not disappoint. So many sophomore efforts don't come close to matching the success and quality of the first book, but this book is definitely an exception. As a school teacher in an urban setting, I also really appreciate how accessible this book is to students of color. I will definitely be recommending Nyxia Unleashed to all of my students. It is an exciting, well-crafted book that leaves me wanting desperately for next spring to get here so I can read the final installment!

Because why wouldn't you continue this epic series???
If you haven't read the first book, do it. And when you've finished with that, READ THIS ONE. This book is epic from beginning to end. Finally, you're on the alien planet and we get to see more than what Babel is telling them in the first one. This book was INSANE. I can't even begin to describe how fast I was reading this book to make sure I read it all fast enough. I skipped dinner and shut my phone off because it was so great that I had to keep going.

An Amazing Book!
Wow! This book was amazing! I loved the first book in the Triad when I read it, so I had to get this one as soon as it was out, even though it cost more than I'm usually willing to pay for an ebook. I'm definitely glad I bought it! Now, I can't wait for the last book! If you like science fiction with realistic, understandable characters, believable situations, and plenty of suspense, you'll love this book! I highly recommend it!

Great but
This book was amazing! The plot was keen and discriptive, as for the main character ( Emmet ) was described and worded carefully with the intent to make the reader feel something for this team of rag tag kids. one problem I had reading is that if someone died or suffered a huge blow, there just wasn't any detail for the the event. So, in conclusion, this was a great book!

Loved
Omg! I was super excited for this book!We follow Genesis 12 to eden....and it’s everything that they imagined....well almost. Babel’s lies run Nyxia deep and lies always come to the fore front.The adamites or as we know them now the Imagio are a special people who are honored to have the genesis 12 there, but lies run deep on both sides and when a war comes a choice has to be made.

Get the hardback you know you want to
I found the first book by accident in a book shop waiting for a delayed train and purchased on the cover description alone. The first book was very easy to read and exciting but heavily revolves around engagement with the lead character emmett. The second book hard cover repeats this approach but also intersperses a handful of chapters from the other character's perspectives which will hopefully be developed more in future books in the series and also changes the setting from just on board the spaceship to also now on the alien planet. There are some original ideas here and some really engaging characters however sometimes as the reader you will have to suspend your belief that a "tribe" of streetwise kids trained up as junior super soldiers/miners could be so incredibly naive. The alien vs corporation vs human children triad (sic) is nicely played out and I can predict more than 3 volumes in the whole series. Just hope I don't have to wait too long as there are a lot more ideas in book 2 that will need resolution. Oh and don't wait for paperback. You need to read it like yesterday if you enjoyed the first one. Most enjoyable sci fi I've read since picking up Jack Campbell Geary books.

Really good
Dear Amazon,Stop providing me with books in a single series from different publishers. The size is all wrong and it makes me wanna smack you between the eyes with the newly purchased book!Onto the book, book 2 was way more engaging than book 1 because the author decided to give the characters more emotions and backstories. They end up becoming each others families, instead of just being names on a board. More cunning plans and strategies. The Nyxia manipulations still amaze me. Can't wait for book 3.

A Fair Read
First things First : This book was fair (Not bad but fair) and no offense but I found the first book more intriguing than the second , Emmett and his Genesis friends just roamed the whole Eden just knowing about the cultures and traditions of the Adamites (Later Imago) , I found only the last couple of chapters interesting and addictive and the fight sequence , but although the book was good , didn't let me down , not a waste of MONEY !💰

Book two held nothing back
With book two of the series I have fallen in love with all that is the Nyxia Triad. The characters are also well fleshed out now and the love interest between our hero Emmitt and heroine Morning gets a boost. All in all a great series and look forward to more.
