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

[Actingup]

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.

If you put this as a comment on episode six, you wouldn't have to worry about giving away any spoilers here!

Thank you for the review

You’re welcome. Feel free to return the favor if you’re inclined to read my stories.

I was also reminded of Poor Things when I read The Story of Nix. The lead characters have a lot in common. Very different characters in some ways, but alike enough to be similar in others.

I’m not sure if lesbian robot videos are available to US viewers on YouTube, but all I could think of when reading the end of Chapter IV was Bjork’s masterpiece, “All Is Full Of Love”.

Finished part IV. All I can say is WOW!
It is a great part. Full of action, love, deep thinking, important philosophical questions asked and unpredictable twists.
It is a must read!

I’m glad people are still working their way through it, perhaps drawn by the very kind comments and supportive postings of other readers.
