Nyxia by Scott Reintgen - Restarting November 20th, 2022

[Felicia]

Emmett Atwater isn’t just leaving Detroit; he’s leaving Earth. Why the Babel Corporation recruited him is a mystery, but the number of zeroes on their contract has him boarding their lightship and hoping to return to Earth with enough money to take care of his family.

Forever.

Before long, Emmett discovers that he is one of ten recruits, all of whom have troubled pasts and are a long way from home. Now each recruit must earn the right to travel down to the planet of Eden—a planet that Babel has kept hidden—where they will mine a substance called Nyxia that has quietly become the most valuable material in the universe.

But Babel’s ship is full of secrets. And Emmett will face the ultimate choice: win the fortune at any cost, or find a way to fight that won’t forever compromise what it means to be human.

17% (view spoiler)[ I like this so far, it reminds me a lot of the Battle school from ender's game. Emmett seems like a good kid, I'm not sure if I like him yet?? I like the alliance he formed with his roomate though! (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

30% (view spoiler)[ I love Emmett and Kaya's friendship!! It is so precious and I am a fan. Also I just really love Kaya, she's so sweet yet is a genius with strategy and can viciously take down the other team when need be!! (hide spoiler)]

60% (view spoiler)[ WHAT THE FUCK HOW COULD THEY LET KAYA DIE OMFG MY HEART IS DEAD AND IM MAD WHYYYY DID THIS HAPPEN (hide spoiler)]

80% (view spoiler)[ Wow so there was another team the whole damn time!? I like Morning as a person but I need Emmett to end up on the other team like plzzzzzz (hide spoiler)]

Finished!!! (view spoiler)[ Wow I can't believe that Rohty(??) kid and Isadora tried to kill/maim Emmett and then that dude did it again before Emmett got into his pod. Savage. I wonder if anything will happen between Emmett and Morning on Eden. Also I'm sad Emmett's friend Bilbao or however the hell that's spelled didn't make the cut. I need to know if he killed anyone to get a spot. (hide spoiler)]

ahh since this is here now I'm going add mine from the first book too!

10%: (view spoiler)[kind of makes me sad that his mom is so sick and that he’s willing to make a sacrifice of leaving earth so that his family could earn a lot of money - which would help out his mom a lot. I hope they get reunited after all of this. I also hope that he gets through it all because I think I’ll be sad if he doesn’t!! (hide spoiler)]
25%: (view spoiler)[some of these characters are hilarious! Plus the battle scene or whatever it was called was intense. This is definitely giving me a vibe of divergent with the whole ratings list. (hide spoiler)]
44%:(view spoiler)[I love the friendship between kaya and emmett. They just make me laugh all the time. Shipping them for life. (hide spoiler)]
56%: (view spoiler)[OMG SHE DIED! I’m so sad. My heart is broken!! (hide spoiler)]
77%: (view spoiler)[sucks that they got second place..but I mean it was his first time at being captain. Better luck next time. (hide spoiler)]
100%: (view spoiler)[omg this was so good! Can’t believe what happened and how it ended. I’m so happy that I have the arc for the second book because I can’t wait to dive into that bad boy! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[OMG I'M SCREAMING AT THEM. STUPID BOYS. YOU KNEW THERE WAS A MOTION CENSOR.. WHY CONTINUE?! IDIOTS. RUN! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 20: (view spoiler)[OMG OMG OMG! BILAL IS ALIVE?!?! Don't play with me Scott! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 30: (view spoiler)[I wonder if he really did see her.. or if he wanted to see her.. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 40: (view spoiler)[I hope this plan is going to work... 'cause hot damn - I'm going to be so freaking pissed if someone dies. (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[THAT'S HOW IT'S GOING TO END?!?! REALLY?!?! I hate cliffhangers so fucking much. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Up to Day 11 (Nyxia)

(view spoiler)[ I really want to know what Jaime is hiding. And what Defoe is probably hiding because I never trust these government types. I'm happy Emmett and Kaya are friends. Her reading him Alice in Wonderland was so cute! And I want to know what happened to Roathy. I thought the weapons weren't actually supposed to hurt each other but he's clearly hurt and Isadora is seems extremely upset about it. And can Kaya actually read like auras?! (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Up to Day 100

(view spoiler)[ Babel is definitely keeping secrets from them, with all of these hidden passageways. The whole eye for an eye justice thing is crazy, but Roathy and Isadora are a few crayons short of a full deck. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Up to Day 4 of Part II

(view spoiler)[ Kaya dying was devastating. I think Babel is the aggressor though rather than the Adamite on Eden. I still wasn't really expecting anyone to actually die, especially not someone as kind as Kaya. But it was really her own curiosity that got her. Not sure how I feel about this budding romance between Morning and Emmett. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Mid Part II

(view spoiler)[ Morning is really just completely dominating at this. I do feel like Kaya would have been a good match for her though, which makes her dying even sadder. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Finished

(view spoiler)[ I knew Roathy was going to be a problem! Babel is sadistic though making them all fight to the death. I really really hope Bilal isn't dead and he mustered the cruelness to just kill his opponent, though I just really don't think he did. I had a feeling no one would actually be able to go home though. They all know too much. (hide spoiler)]
