"Some might call us a monstrous pair, and they would be right. Tyrus and I were both scorpions in our way, dangerous creatures crossing the most treacherous of rivers together. Together we might sting, but we also would float. Perhaps scorpions were the only ones who could save each other. Whatever lay ahead, it would always be the two of us above the rest of the universe, and woe to any who dared step in out path." 
 Well, this was an interesting book. I liked the entire concept and the characters, and how the author intertwined the events and the plot twists. I'm also glad for the sequel, even if it could have perfectly been a stand-alone, but I'm curious to know Nemesis and Tyrus' fate and how the story goes on. There is only one thing which left me in doubt (view spoiler)[Is Tyrus really innocent? Or has he plotted Sidonia's death? (hide spoiler)] and I hope to find out the true in The Empress. Overall, I recommend it to you guys if you want to read a fast paced sci-fi book with a bit of romance.
