Gold Mine Processing Associate, Josh Greenburg, recommends The Seven Stars Trilogy by AJ Super.
The Seven Stars Saga trilogy is a villain origin-to-redemption story following Nyx Marcus, a space pirate turned AI God whose sole goal is to protect those she sees as family. But as her family expands, so does her need for the power to defend her universe…
…until she becomes the villain that she was trying to prevent.
The main premise is the question of whether a villain deserves redemption no matter how pure their intentions are when wielding their power. Nyx may or may not find redemption in the end but she could find a sense of peace.
The Seven Stars Saga is an incredible epic of finding power, losing one’s identity, and overcoming the power to find that identity again. Nyx’s struggles throughout the story are relatable despite the sheer monstrosity. Wood River Valley author AJ Super does a fantastic job melding magic into technology in this soft-science fiction, fast-paced page-turner.
The entire space saga trilogy is an incredible exploration of how even the most innocent of choices can result in villainous intent.
The journey that Nyx takes through several unique worlds while traveling in the wonders of space in extraordinary spaceships is fresh and exciting, and the characters are easy to identify with, interesting, and dynamic.
Of course, as the author’s spouse, I could be a bit biased, but I highly recommend that you check out the books from The Community Library in Ketchum. Find them in our collection here:
