You ever read a story where the ending makes the entire thing that much better? This is that book. Yes, the entire book is engaging and you can’t wait to consume it but THAT ENDING. I think I have whiplash from all the twists and turns!
👑
The Diabolic ended with Nemesis becoming the next empress, hence the title. Since she is not viewed as human, this is not an easy sell to the world and people in positions of power. Does this stop her? No. But she’s not clueless to what this journey will look like.
👑
In The Diabolic, we saw just how brutal Nemesis is. In The Empress, we see how human she is, despite her programming. It’s a fascinating look into what it means to be human, where a non-human entity has more humanity than any of the humans in the room. Let that sink in.
👑
That ending, though. Just when you think you can trust something, you’re whacked upside the head and reminded that humans are problematic and not always good, despite their intentions.

Can I have book 3 now?
