The Diabolic by S.J. Kincaid

4.0

I'm not really a huge sci fi book reader in fact this is the first sci fi book I've read and it absolutely changed my whole perspective on this genre. I absolutely love this book. Nemisis is such a badass character that I really enjoyed reading about. The whole concept of a diabolic and that they are created to protect another person is really intriguing. The character development in this novel is hands down amazing. Nemesis goes from being a hardcore diabolic with no human feelings to actually developing feelings throughout the book. The way it was done and written is really cool. There are heaps of plot twists in this book that just kept u in suspense. For eg when the emperors diabolics are actually for the grandmother??? Also the whole sidonia applying cream to nemisis shoulder that turns out to be poison ??? I literally did not see that coming. My mind was gonna explode when the freakin grandmother blamed that whole thing on tyrus it was so manipulative and easy to comply to. I literally died cause she was gonna and it kinda did work turn them against each other. U don't know who to trust and literally question everyone. The romance in this novel is so intricate and beautifully written I absolutely loved it. The whole world is well constructed and the ending was amazing. I was half expecting something bad to happen at the very last second but thank god nothing did. I don't think I could have handled it .
