And the moments that these two share, whether its fighting back to back, comforting each other over past pain, or just cuddling and being there for one another. It makes me want to scream “OTP forever” at the top of my lungs, off the rooftops. And seeing her be so hard, and so soft, and so everything in between, is something I don’t even have words for.Īnd the romance in this book? Lord, I can’t. Like, the fight scenes with Morning are legit some of the best fight scenes I’ve ever read in YA. She's a Latinx girl from Cali who has completely stolen my heart. She is so strong, so powerful, so amazing of a leader. Morning is my new favorite character of all-time, I swear. Emmett is just an amazing main character, and one that I’ve been searching for Music also plays a big role in Emmett’s life, and it’s displayed so very beautifully.

He constantly is filing stuff away mentally with a system his grandma taught him, and he is never embarrassed or shamed for showing emotion. Emmett is a black boy from Detroit, who joined this space program because it was the only way his mother could get the medical treatment she needed. This series also has the best main protagonist in YA, I swear it.

And this book picks right back up after the final events in Nyxia, where they have landed on a brand new planet, Magnia.

Babel picked kids that they believed they could mold and shape into whatever they wanted, but Nyxia Unleashed shows that Babel might have completely underestimated the power of teens. A company named Babel gave contracts to kids from needy homes, whether that be love, money, or even health care. Nyxia Unleashed follows a crew of kids from all over the world that have been tested extensively during their journey to another planet. This series is amazing, and this second installment was everything that I wanted and more. The characters have completely stolen my heart and soul, and they are a tier above most in all of literature. The writing is amazing, I pulled around thirty quotes for this review alone. This is such an amazing YA Sci-Fi series that is so beautifully inclusive with some very important themes and discussions. “As the descent begins, I hold on to one truth: I am more than what they would make of me.”
