Nyxia was set to be my favorite sci-fi book this fall but I just couldn't connect with it. In a world where competition was high and you knew characters who could become your favorite may not make it, I just never felt like I cared about anyone. The stakes didn't seem high enough and I was bored by the repetitive nature of the story. Would have loved to see more exploration of the alien lifeforms and also the corporation pulling the strings.
