I hit submit (six times, one for each part) on my first novel 😳

I am amazed at the number of readers here who have read parts but not read the entire Nix saga as soon it has been made available. Maybe my reading habits are that much different, but once I began, I found myself wanting to continue.
Now that the whole thing is published, I'll go back and read it from start to finish without the daily interruption.
I wasn't going to post this in the comment section, but I generally do not care for eloquent prose in a story, big words, or references to other works. BUT it was very fitting in this story of a a machine with a 'pure' intellect, if partly overshadowed with human elements. The person of Nix was developing its own identity and had a framework to build upon. Like Defcoms said, it is first and foremost a human story. Well worth reading a few times.

I'm proudly up to Part IV, and not rushing it. As long as Emily follows through with big badges for everybody who reads, votes and comments, I'm very happy with that pace. And I'm very much enjoying the story.
 
Ok, I’ve finished the Story of Nix. Very interesting read. I was reminded a lot of Sarah Connor Chronicles and Ex Machina, not surprisingly they were influential on the story. I decided to make my detailed critique here as opposed to in comments because of the inbuilt response notification. So here are a few of my thoughts.

Favorite chapters were four and six. Four brought in my favorite character Owen. He had a fun arc and I saw a bit of myself in him. Six had the interesting final twist of course. I was honestly surprised and impressed by it. No spoilers, I want other readers to feel the same thrill.

Nix’s character overall was pretty cool. I very much enjoyed her learning about her emotions and responses to her experiences as the story progressed. I personally would have reacted differently to a lot of the trials she faced, but her responses worked well for the character and the story I think Emily wanted to share. So I can’t really complain.

I enjoyed the world building a lot. I always felt the impact of the story’s setting and you shaped it very well.

Overall, a great first novel. I hope to see more such stories from you in the future, Emily. Keep up the good work.
