Neron Skies

Neron Rising Saga #2

by Keary Taylor

Dominion has Nova’s face and Reena’s name—Cyrillius will use and kill them if they’re caught. But being on the run in space isn’t so bad, Nova’s always wanted a different life, and she’s got it now.

It started with a rumor, that the Bahiri still exist—peaceful worshipers of the Nero and Neron. After what happened on Korpillion, Valen told Nova to find them, and to stay away from him. So that’s where the wanted crew aboard The Corsair is headed, across the entire galaxy to the G sector. Nova wants answers about what she did and how it’s possible.

She’s in denial. About what she might be. About where her heart lies. She knows Valen Nero is a bad man, so why is he the only one who fills the hollowness in her chest? Why does she ask him to keep his promise: I will come for you, Nova. And when he does, she’ll learn the truth about him, and what happened to shape him into the man he is today.

You know that tingling feeling you get when you are reading a book because shit happening is just that amazing and so damn awesome?!?! Yea, that's the feeling I get while reading these episodes.

I want to say so much but know that I can't because I will give so much away. You have to read each of these books in order as they are told in episodes, almost like a TV show.

Nova is learning about her new discovery and who she has always been able to connect to in her mind. She's on a path with her father, friend and former "co-worker" to another planet. They are looking for a rumored civilization called the Bahiri. Nova is hoping that they are real and they will help her out.

I have to say that while this episode wasn't as action-packed as the first, it still held my attention and gave us some more answers to questions that we had in the first episode. However, we now have even more questions and things are getting even more enticing.

Keary introduced another character into the fold and he is quite interesting. I am excited to see what becomes of their importance to Nova and her journey. I cannot wait to see where the next episode takes and Nova finds herself getting into.

I am truly enjoying this sci-fi series more than I expected and I love that. Keary has definitely proven she is able to take someone out their normal elements and make them enjoy a whole genre in the book world.

Still enjoying this series! I don't know what to say without spoiling anything except that it's good. We are introduced to a new character and we find out a few things. I still have a lot of questions and I'm excited to find out the answers in the next episodes. The third one is out so that's good! I'll just have to wait a couple of weeks or so for the finale.

Also, that kiss was awesome! (if you've read it, you know what I'm talking about) All the feels.

[Jacqueline J · Rating 4 out of 5]

So this review is going to be for the first three episodes which I've read so far. First off and I hate to say it but the price is pretty steep for the amount of pages and reading time you get. The story isn't done and I'm not sure I'm going to continue to pay $2.99 for each 150 pages (approx.) On to the story..

I like the world building and the story arc. It's different and well developed. It has a pretty solid space opera feel to it and the romance element is well presented and well paced. I really want to know how or if the author is going to be able to redeem the evil hero. It's hard to justify mass murder/genocide no matter how bad your childhood was.

I will probably wait until the entire story is finished before I decide whether to pay for the rest of the story. I'll have to weigh whether the amount of story left justifies the dollars I'll need to shell out.

[Kristine · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was eager to read this episode of the series, it does not disappoint. I hesitate to say too much because I don’t want to give anything away. I will say there is action, and a bit of suspense. More information is revealed about the characters which has me eager for more. I’m very curious to read what happens next.

[Mandie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Neron Skies is amazing! This series brings science fiction and fantasy to a whole new level. This second episode was intense. I just love the flow. It has some crazy twists and turns, and it is so full of suspense! It was impossible to put down. I can’t wait to continue reading these episodes to find out what happens next!

4.5 rating!!

[Charleyexoh · Rating 4 out of 5]

I received this ARC for the second episode of this series from Net Galley and I’m so thankful because after Neron Rising I just needed to read what happened next!

This follows Nova immediately after Neron Rising where she along with her companions are dealing with the aftermath of Korpillion being overtaken by The Dominion. I was very eager to read the next part, and it didn’t disappoint - I did give it four stars out of five because I felt with the constant space travel in this section it wasn’t as fascinating compared to the first book and was a little slow at times but it was still a fantastic read either way.

I still really wish this was an entire book because I know I would give this five stars no problem, I desperately need to know what happens next after the ending once again!

I loved a lot of things that happened in this book, I loved that we got another meeting between Nova and Valen. as strange as their relationship is I really do like how they are together, they have an all consuming passion that they can’t explain but it takes over their entire being. I want to know what is holding Valen by a leash, why he couldn’t stay with Nova. What is keeping him from being able to be a free man. Why can’t he just over power The Dominion? Hopefully there will be more information in the next episodes to come.

There was more to Nova than we originally thought, I wasn’t expecting what was revealed when it came to her existence in the world and how her father came in to it. I honestly thought something would be revealed about her mother possibly being a Nero who died and her father knew all along but it was very different to that. Now I’m even more interested in Nova’s heritage and how she came to be in the position that led her father to her.

I also loved the new edition of Edan! I can’t wait to get to know more about him, I was really glad when Nova ran in to him again the second time because I wanted her to take him along with her. I really like his character even though it seems he’s a bit of a strange boy that completely loves things beyond normal. But it makes for a great character who’s interesting. I want to know more!

I find this book series fascinating and I love the writing, the characters and the setting. I had never read anything that the author had written before but after reading just 188 pages by this author I know that is going to change. This is definitely a great Sci-Fi series that pulls you in and leaves you thinking what will happen once that cliff hanger hits you. Great series!

[María José Bravo Macías · Rating 5 out of 5]

The second book/part of The Neron Rising Saga!!!



I loved this! So so much! I though I would like the main characters a lot more, but it turns out, I love the whole squad. I've come to realize that I like squads, a lot. The only one missing is Valen (the Kylo Ren of this story). If I said the first book reminded me of Starwars, this is like a confirmation of that.

I was so happy reading this book. Everything was just awesome and exciting! I was so glad that not everything was about the romance and just how angsty our main characters are, or the conflict in them because they don't know what to do, or think anymore. The growth and the secrets we get to know from all the characters... It was all so sad, and so interesting at the same time. It got me thinking that Nova was complaining about her boring life, but it is way better to stay boring and safe instead of having horrible things happen to her, like the other people she knew had been through.

Zayne is honestly the most pure, and loving soul there ir (so far). I feel so sad for him and some parts of me would prefer him over Valen. They both have been through horrible things but one is less angsty than the other (Valen being more of a loner and I can't connect with him yet).
I... I just feel like it's not fair to Zayne. He deserves so much more than rejection... He deserves growth and change. A better fate. A better life. I just love this smallbean :)



I just want to see how the rest of the story goes. I couldn't stop reading from the moment I started this book. I wanna see how the characters keep growing and improving.

[Jacqueline Reads]

“Give the people what they want” is what I imagine this author saying as she wrote the second episode of the Neron saga.
It picks up right after where it left off in episode one.
You have Nova, a newly discovered Nero, and Valen, the galaxies only known Nero who works for the Dominion who are basically plotting universe domination.
Through their mental link the continue to communicate with each other as Nova deals with her planet and the only life she’s known being taking over by the dominion, learning she’s a Nero, and finding out the person she considered her best friend and shares a mental link with is actually the Nero working for the Dominion.
I must admit my favorite scenes are between Nova and Valen. Thankfully a good portion of this episode is spent on that, and my goodness is that time well spent. It’s angsty and wonderful.
While there are several elements of the overall story and writing I found underdeveloped and a few things like the new created curse words to be irritating (“cack”, “slag”, I just cringed at those words), I think it’s still a fun and light read. It provides the instant gratification of eating dessert before dinner.


(PS: If you ship Reylo you’ll most likely enjoy this.)

[Hollie Smurthwaite · Rating 3 out of 5]

This novel unrolls at a steady pace that isn't that fast, but there are a good number of tense and suspenseful action moments. I liked the further exploration of Nova's gifts and it's cool to see where she came from.

My biggest complaint is the ending which stops out of nowhere. It's not a cliffhanger, more like a person stopping mid-sentence. It's almost as if the author picked a spot at random to stop, so there's no arc at all.

BUT, I liked the rising stakes and the complicated relationship with Valen. Could have used more of him in the novel, actually. I really liked the addition of Edan, who is a great character.

Overall, it was an easy read, but could have been improved with a better structure.

I seriously adore this series, this is my second re-read of them and I am devouring them as if I am reading them for the first time.

[Sylvia Rangel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Episode 2

Better and longer than episode one. I wish this wasn't in first person. So far this isn't much of a romance.

[⋆☆☽ Kriss ☾☆⋆ · Rating 3 out of 5]

To be honest the "episodic" nature of this series makes reviewing it kind of difficult because each book isn't so much its own arc, but rather just the next 100 pages of the same tale. It picks off where it ends and it ends at basic moments where you can see a pause; I wouldn't call them cliffhangers because the event is the end of one sequence and the start of another (like book #1 ends with Nova leaving the planet in search of something; not like the greatest ending but you can see there being a break here).

There's not too much to say because we're in the middle of the story. Each installment is so short, everything unfolds really rapidly and quickly. I think the pacing is too quick personally, but at least the writing is nice enough that it's engaging despite this. I see the author making attempts to expand the story and luckily I'm starting to see fewer Star Wars vibes. We still have them, but they're not as glaring in my face this time.

One thing that does kind of grate on me though is that a lot of what's happening is like... the author is making a choice clearly in response to something the Star Wars films did that she felt was wrong, rather than these being like super well thought out things. I think we're given some developments that are more for the sake of appealing to Reylo shippers than to figuring out if Nova and Valen would realistically think and act this way or develop things so that they would realistically think and act that way. You know what I mean? Like, Nova's conflict with morality seems more like it's there to give Valen a chance to be forgiven and less because she's actually conflicted about ethics.

Also like, they're still kind of instalove but then not? Like they kiss and Nova is like "stay with me I need you" but they don't declare love for one another and Nova goes on her way and Valen goes on his so while I think the author is building towards reckless abandon with their emotions they're still flirting with a lot of the qualities of instalove sadly. I don't know; I guess I wish we'd gotten more time with their psychic link to feel like they know each other before we got to where we are because then it'd feel more authentic than "we chatted a few times, you helped me and were hot, now I'm like incapable of coping without you." Nova even says that she's become dependent on Valen and I'm like *sigh*

Still, I suppose it's not like it's unexpected considering what we're working with. This series is a casual, fun read for people who watched The Force Awakens and were really hung up on Kylo and Rey having a few moments together. It's practically betting on you establishing just cause for the relationship before you even read this book so that it doesn't have to waste time trying to establish and develop things because Star Wars already planted those seeds.

So far it's remained entertaining and I'll be continuing to book 3. I have high hopes the plot will continue to expand and that Nova and Valen's relationship ends up being a worthwhile read and just not instalove so the author can write Reylo inspired erotica or something.

Though on that note, this series so far hasn't really appeared to be too graphic or adult so I'm not exactly sure if this is trying to have broad appeal despite it being about a 26 year old heroine or if it's incidental that an adult book is in that realm of tame, simple, and short enough that a 16 year old could read it and like it.

[IM211 -Scattered thoughts- · Rating 4 out of 5]

Unveiling of secrets, unraveling of characters and an awesome action-adventure sequel.

This galaxy is a complicated place, and I know Reena is right: there is no black and white. Maybe I’ll feel different again in an hour. Maybe I’ll feel lost again, tomorrow. But I feel like I just made a discovery..

In this episode we follow Nova (now wanted by the Dominion) as she streams through the galaxy with her family, to find a safe haven and answers.
The impressive world building continues as we get to see more of the planets/worlds (it sort of reminded me the Defy the stars by Claudia gray, only the transitioning world part); here MC is struggling with her new found identity and as a result dealing with self acceptance as well. She's tied up in justifying good from evil when she stands in the gray area, the tension was depicted pretty well, even when she caved in time to time.

I’m not the same person I was a solar ago. I don’t even know who or what I am anymore. But there is one person in the galaxy who does. And because I let myself trust him, I don’t know if I can ever trust myself again.

Nova is smart, emotionally driven sometimes but she seems to keep it together whenever they're faced with surprises...Zayne and Torin are more fleshed out in this episode and you get to understand their relationship and the character themselves. I grew fond of them over time as we face Torin's concern and Zayne's complex feelings over Nova, as she deals with her own secrets and predicament.
I really enjoyed this sequel, although we don't get much of the villain intervention here, but we see more character growth and development here which I found lacking in the previous episode so this pretty much makes up for it.

All my life, the term Nero has had such a negative connotation because of how Dominion used theirs. But I did something good.

(P.S plot Involved some romance but survival and action dominated the story)

Hiccups :
Faced some discontinuity of some scenes, the space travel descriptions were lacking compared to rest of the story and I missed Reena, she was barely present throughout this episode. {Looking forward for more of her kick-@-- ness}


Highly enjoyable sci-fi space story.
Can't wait to read the upcoming episodes.

“Life isn’t as simple as you once thought it was, is it, Nova?”

Thank you Netgalley, Keary Taylor & Xpresso Book Tours for this e-Arc!

Neron Skies

Oook hahaha that thing with the ship ? About recycling water ? Incredible disgusting but incredible anyways hahaha and I’m middle bored ...aigoo all the internal conflicts that Nova creates in her head are soooo boring , she looks like a teenager what makes a little sense because this is a Y/A and made me remember why I don’t read Y/A *rolls my eyes internally *

Aaaah romance !? Finally!!! *fans myself * they are sooo ...cute ? Lonely? Well their feelings are really interesting ...damn Valen childhood? Ok now I understand why he is a mass murderer and so cold ...yeah poor little boy ... I’m serious the guy is a little nuts because damn , who couldn’t be ? If the things that happened to him , was with me ? Oh sweet baby Antichrist have mercy of all the poor souls in the galaxy ... and I’ll give it to Cyrillius because the mother fu*ker knows how to tame a super powerful teenager and teach him a lesson for life .

Ok I mostly understand Valen but the thing is ...he has Nova now and he could just tell Cyrillius to fu*k off , because duh Valen is the being apparently more powerful in the galaxy so ...why be the dog of a normal man ? Yeah he has serious psychological problems ...this happens when most part of your childhood you were being traumatized, the thing is he just can’t believe things can be good , what really holds him ? Is himself.

I’m a little confuse about how the time pass in the book ... ok so one solar is a year right ? And a lunar is a month .... so Nova has nineteen solars ok ok but she is already a mechanic, with how much years she finished school ? Hahaha yeah that was my question hahaha . Damn Edan is soooo fu*king mad ? hahaha I think he is one of my fav characters in this book now .

F*ck me you know ...I wasn’t going to read the next one immediately but that cliffhanger? Did I ever tell you guys how much I hate cliffhangers ? Yeah ...that almost did I start the next chapter...but I’ll give myself a time of this book , because I need something more “adult” now hahaha, I’m absolutely not dropping this series , I’m just giving myself a time until I’m in the vibe to this kind of romance again .

[SUZAN C. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! So I was fortunate enough to read episode 2 earlier and it is a direct extension of episode 1. In Episode 2, the "gang", Nova, Zayne, Reena, and Nova's father continue on their space journey to find the elusive Bahiri. The Bahiri is a race of people with powers of Neron, a very coveted and exclusive form of energy that only people born with Neron in their blood can wield its powers. Neron is so sought after, that the Dominion continues to chase Nova and Reena through the stars just to find them and either eliminate them or get more information on Neron.

In Episode 2, I found that Nova is a lot grittier and angrier. She just found out that she has the ability to wield Neron and manipulate it like it's the most natural thing in the world. Later on in the story, a shocking secret is revealed and Nova is even more confused and distraught. Her heart and mind is a constant tug of war between her loyalties to her father and her best friend, Zayne, and her emerging feelings for Valen Nero, the anti-hero who helped her escape. There's just something about Valen that Nova refuses to let go even though they both decide it to be best.

As with the first episode, the second one is just as thrilling and takes you on a fast thrill ride from beginning to end. Secrets are revealed and made, friendships are on the rocks, and the journey to find the truth about Nova and the dream that she shared with Valen continues.
You don't want to miss either episodes and there will be more coming!

Thank you again, Keary!

This is a little less amazing than the first book, and books are often like that so nothing new there. It is still incredibly lovable though. I love every bit of Valen! I love how he is so patient and accepting and considerate of Nova even when she pushes him away. I’m still developing my feelings for Nova because I kinda like her but kinda don’t at the same time. 80-20 I guess. A little spoiler alert, we get Valen’s backstory here and I completely love it! Both the main characters are so relatable. I can so understand why Nova and Valen feel and do the things they do.

I don’t know how the author manages to write such a complete story within such short pages and it feels like a miracle that a story as short as this can incur such feelings from me. I very nearly cried at one point. I haven’t been this emotional from reading a book for so long, and it feels amazing! The emotions I feel from reading this book is just so vivid it’s almost unreal. I haven’t been this absorbed in a long time either; this book is returning my faith in books! At this point in life I’ve read so many books I’m not even sure what I’m looking for in a book. All I know is whether a book is good or bad. I’m not sure what makes it good or what makes it bad, my heart just tells me. And I believe it’s also like that for every other reader, so really, go and experience this book at the first opportunity you get. My guts love this! And who knows, yours might too.

3.75 stars

I liked this one almost as much as the previous one. I really like the direction the plot is taking in terms of galactical conspiracies. It's still giving sci-fi and anime crossover. I love the concept of Neron and I hope that it becomes fully developed throughout the story and doesn't remain a complex yet vague magical concept in this world. Then there's Nova's growing crew. They have entertainment value but definitely need more character development.

The few bits that did frustrate me: the heroine has a paradoxical nature where she's sometimes naive and too quick to shed her distrust. Then other times she loses that naivety and uses more discernment. It's a constant seesaw there. Then there's Valen. We don't know fully why he does the things he does, atleast I hope there's more to his character than what's been presented so far. Last, the romance between Valen and Nova is a bit left field. I see there's possibly a fated mates connection waiting to be formed but their feelings for each other were bordering on instalove and it wasn't convincing because despite their history they hardly know each other.

I'm still excited about this saga though because as I said in a previous review, it's pleasantly different from what I normally read; so on to the next book!

[Cj · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nova continues her journey to freedom and adventure with her father and friends in this sequel. Nova is conflicted with who she really is and her relationship with Valen and Zayne.
With her travel companions plus one they picked up on a supply stop, Nova continues to find the people that can help her figure what and/or who she is, the Bahiri.
Her secret of what she can do doesn't remain a secret for long when the bounty hunters find Nova on a distant planet. She does what she dislikes the most..kill. Of course it was in self defense but to Nova killing is killing.
Nova knows her secret is out now with her traveling companions. The question is how will they react? Her father now knows he must tell his secret that he has been keeping for so long. He found Nova while he was on a mission and knew she was special. I don't think he knew how special until that moment she protected them and herself against the bounty hunters.
Her father gives her some more of the pieces of the puzzle that is her life. She knows how now more than ever she must find the Bahiri people to help fill in the rest of the puzzle.
She doesn't have to wait long because they find her.
I cannot wait for the next installment of this saga.

[Gemma Ironside · Rating 4 out of 5]

Neron Skies is the second book in the series by Keary Taylor. If you haven’t read the first book yet then I highly recommend you read it before reading this one.

This book picks up exactly where the first one left off. Nova and her family aboard a ship and have made it off Korpillion. There were some parts of this book I found slow and not enough action happened for me but I did enjoy the chemistry between Nova and Valen but I was hoping for a bit more of them together, I’m looking forward to seeing what happens between them in future books. One thing I really enjoyed was getting some back story on Nova and her father and how Nova is a nero, no spoilers obviously but it was quiet interesting and I look forward to seeing where that goes.

Overall I feel that this book was mostly a filler book setting the scene for what is to come in future books. As much as it was a little slow it’s definitely worth the read to get the full picture and the ending was pretty good so I can’t wait to carry on with that to see where it goes. I really enjoy this world that has been created and with that ending I can’t wait to read the next one.

Neron Skies: A Space Fantasy Romance (The Neron Rising Saga Book 2) Kindle Edition
by Keary Taylor
I received an eARC via NetGalley and am choosing to leave a fair and honest review.

I read books 1 and 2 together. I highly recommend that readers do this. Reading books 1 and 2 back to back gives the series a little more tension and speed.

Nova and her makeshift family are on the run from the Dominion. They are moving from planet to planet while Nova begins to question the black and white/good and evil, simplistic world (universal?) view she has. She begins to question whether actions are as important as reasons for those actions. She also begins to question whether or not she can live without Valen.

Readers begin to see the romance between Nova and Valen bloom as well as their characters growing. Although, their relationship is clearly going to be a slow burn. Action picks up as Nova tries to find her place in the universe as well as her origins.

Excellently written and better than the first as I could understand the sci-fi speak because it is placed in more context.

Short but sweet

My only complaint is that the books are way too short. When books are more novellas instead of full lengrh novels, I feel it is the author's ploy to get more money out of the reader. Thank god the books are absolutely amazing...otherwise, I wouldn't pay for a 30k word count novel.

I do wish there is more Valen. I need more of a love story, although the adventure is enough to satisfy me. I hope he is in the 3rd book more. This book is labeled as a space fantasy romance...well give me the romance!!! Give us Valen!

Because right now, the authornis doing a great job of making us hate him. I also need more of a connection between the two of them outside of, "he is in my head so I love him." What has he actually done to make her love him? I'm not really a fan of the instant love type of books...but I still really enjoy their mental connection. Anywho, Valen needa to stop being a wimp and take action. I want to see kick ass Valen, not trampled on Valen. Come through, 3rd book! Shake it up for me!

[Penny · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m done with this second book, and I’m already getting impatient. Why, you say? I want more!! I love the little interludes, the writing, the plot, the characters, etc., but I don’t love the waiting. I can’t believe how much I’m already invested in this series with the two books I’ve already read. Ms. Taylor’s writing just sucks me in and doesn’t let go. The ending just made me so impatient to find out how this turn in the plot is going to go. I do admit I had ideas how the series was going to go, and this ending just threw me completely off…I love it! (Oh, and there was a huge revelation in this book that also shocked me!) Thankfully, I don’t have long to wait for the next one. If you enjoyed the first one, you will definitely enjoy the second. If you haven’t started the series yet, don’t be afraid to; just take the plunge because you won’t regret it. I do highly recommend this book even if you aren’t a big sci-fi fan! I was provided the e-book which I voluntarily reviewed.

I received this novel from net galley and the publisher. Thank you!
This next segment of the series follows Nova and her friends' escape from their home planet to avoid the destruction that the Dominion will do to obtain Neron. Nova was told by Valen to seek out the Bahiri so Nova can learn and control her abilities. Nova becomes selfish when she asks Valen to come to her. When they meet, sparks fly, but also the truth about Valen's past and why he works for Cyrillius. Nova and Valen still have their mind link, but Nova does not want to be like Valen, but has to use her abilities to protect herself and others. Nova receives contact from another Nero, who Nova decides to trust and leads the others to the coordinates given to her. Still, the galaxy is waiting for the prophesied Nero that will save all from Cyrillus and the Dominion.

[Sarah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Again, I really enjoyed this episode and the way that the plot unfolded. It picks up directly after ‘Neron Rising’, so definitely read the saga in order. In ‘Neron Skies’, Nova grows as a character and, as with so many of Keary Taylor’s heroine’s, she is brave and heroic throughout. We are introduced to new characters and new settings – I loved reading about new worlds and am intrigued to see how key characters play out and add to future episodes in the saga.

In ‘Neron Skies’, we see the relationship between Nova and Valen develop further. This adds further mystery to the plot and I am looking forward to seeing what happens next between them, as there was some awesome chemistry in this book. The ending of this episode was ace, with another brilliant cliffhanger – I can’t wait for the next instalment and to see how the story moves on. A great read.

[Krystal · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this book!!!! The first episode was good, a lot of plot building and character introduction, but this one just keeps getting more interesting. The personalities of the characters are stunning, I find myself wanting to learn more and imagining the details of these characters. And Nova simply is badass character and this story becoming addicting to read. I am anxious for the next one to be released!! Keary Taylor knows how to develop them in a wonderful way that makes them feel real. I completely recommend this book to anyone who likes a well rounded story with plenty of details that help you really picture yourself in the story.

I am absolutely blown away with the second episode of this STELLAR series!! Neron skies answered so many questions left from the first and created even more for the next. Nova is such a bad ass and everyone loves a heroin that lives in the gray area. This is easily my favorite series of the entire SLAM SOLAR! I can’t wait for more, literally read this in just under 2 hours. A bit of a quick read but soo perfect. Just enough to keep you wanting more. This needs to be pitched to tv, I bet the CW would pick it up and it could make an amazing show!

This episode was amazing! I was so happy there were answers to all the questions that I had after episode one. There was so much more that I learned about this universe and now have more questions! I can not wait to get my hands on Episode three! This episode took me on a journey to learn more about everyone of the characters, there were a few twists and turns that I did not expect to take. Start with Episode one and keep going!!

I just loved this book so much!!! As the second in this fantasy series, it certainly did not disappoint. Keary did such a wonderful job at developing Nova, I literally feel like I’m in her, or actually her while reading. As we dive deeper into the story, we are given little tidbits about Novas past, as well as a foreshadowing into the future, where she may essentially change the galaxy! I simply cannot wait for the next episode to be released! For anyone questioning whether they will like this, or not, please just dive in! It’s a quick read, but has so much depth.

This, the second installment of the Neron Rising Saga is another clear five-star offering for me! The first episode did such a thorough job of world building and character introduction that there was absolutely no way I wouldn't have read the second the moment it appeared on my screen, and Neron Skies has left me full of anticipation for the third! Episodes feel like guilty indulgences, and I'm so grateful Taylor is kindly releasing them close together so I don't have to wait too long before the next one . . .
