The Empress by S.J. Kincaid

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The Empress is the sequel to The Diabolic. You will definitely want to read The Diabolic first!

This book takes off pretty much where The Diabolic ends. Tyrus is Emperor and Nemesis is going to become Empress. There are many who do not want so see this happen, the strongest opponent being Senator von Pasus.

Tyrus and Nemesis hatch a plan to visit the Sacred City and establish whether it and the Interdict (Supreme Leader) really exist or not. Their plan is successful, and they learn long forgotten secrets and Nemesis granted personhood. They hope this will make people more accepting of her as Empress.

Senator von Pasus has also developed his own plan. Tyrus and Nemesis get caught up in a plan they think they can control, but find out they can't.

There are many twists and turns. The story is engaging. For a sequel, it is very well written and doesn't just feel like a book to get you by until the next one is released. Many questions are resolved and new ones are created.

I highly recommend this book for Science Fiction Dystopian readers!
