The heir to the Emperor is a boy/young man who seems to be a bit mad. There is all kinds of intrigue in the court between the people there who may not agree with the Emperor, as well as within the ruling family itself. But once there she will have to fight off the people who don't trust her because of the family she comes from. At court, Nemesis must do her best to become Sidonia. Since no one has ever seen her, and they don't trust the Emperor, they send Nemesis instead. Since Sidonia's father is a bit of a rebel, and the Senators and Emperor do not like his ideas, it is felt that it is important to keep Sidonia's body guard.īut then, the Emperor calls for Sidonia to come to the Imperial Court. Sidonia doesn't want to lose Nemesis, and her family also doesn't want to lose the best protection for their daughter. They are considered to be against the new religion. But soon the new leader decides that all the Diabolics must be destroyed. Sidonia treats Nemesis as if she is a best friend, or even closer, a sister. She is biologic, but she was made to be a killer, and in the end, she was taught, no programmed to have one person that she would protect above everything else. But she is a Diabolic, so not really a girl. The title refers to the main character, a girl named Nemesis. At about a quarter of the way through, it got really good and I was hooked!

I felt like we would get a little bit of the story, then it would speed up to another part that we'd spend a little time on, and then it settled into the main time period for the story. I picked it up to read last week and it turned out to be a really good book. I was extremely thrilled when an advanced readers copy of this showed up at the bookstore and my manager saved it for me! I probably did a little dance when I saw it on her desk for me. I have been very interested in this book since I first heard about it last May when there were samplers put out at the B-Fest, teen event, that we had at Barnes and Noble.
