The Nemesis
Three years ago, Tyrus Domitrian shocked the galaxy by killing the woman he swore to love forever. Now, the once-idealistic heir apparent has become the cruel Emperor Tyrus, wielding his authority with an iron fist, capable of destroying planets with a single word, controlling all technology with a simple thought. He has bent the Grandiloquy to their knees, and none has the power to stand against him. But there is a muttering among the Excess. They say that Nemesis is not truly gone. They whisper of her shadow spotted in distant star systems. They say that Nemesis lives. That she will rise, and rally the people to topple the man who was once her truest love—and is now her fiercest enemy.
The Nemesis was worth the wait. Kincaid knows how to end a trilogy! Out of the three books, this one was my favourite storyline-wise, and the cover was my favourite as well. Kincaid did a great job tying up all the loose ends, but leaving enough at the end for the reader to imagine what Nemesis and Tyrus’ future looked like after she rescued him from the black hole.
I’ve loved Nemesis and Tyrus’ relationship since the first book, and Kincaid knew how to tug on my heartstrings in this last book. I was devastated when Nemesis believed she had killed Tyrus; I almost cried! After everything these two went through throughout the trilogy, they deserved their version of happily-ever-after, which I’m so glad they got. It would have been tragic if Nemesis did overthrow the Domitrian dictatorship, only to have to live the rest of her life without her true love.
Kincaid discussed a lot of important topics in her series: the concept of humanity; the many shades of love; political systems; the separation of class; all of these issues really made the reader think about the differences and similarities to our own world, and what we can do to make change like Nemesis did in The Diabolic trilogy.
The Nemesis is a powerful conclusion to Kincaid’s fascinating science fiction series, sure to keep readers spellbound until the last page.
The Nemesis Rating: ★★★★★
