"Move over Mad Max--here comes Nyx. Ex-government assassin turned bounty-hunter Nyxnissa is good at solving other people's problems. Her favorite problem-solving solution is punching people in the face. Then maybe chopping off some heads. Hey--it's a living"--Publisher's website.
It's great spending more time with Myx.
I like the fact that the stories don't end when the mission is accomplished, they end with Nyx's character development.
Because this is not about the mission it's about the world and Nyx's place within it.
Five shorts in the Bel Dame Apocrypha universe following the exploits of the catshit crazy former Bel Dame Nyxnissa so Dasheem (soulless and nihilistic, daughter of Bakira so Dasheem, collecting bounties, bodies and f*cks) in the generations long war raging on between Nasheen and Chenja. Dark, apocalyptic dystopia in a world run on bugs and magic. Not for the faint of heart or queasy, but the characters will stick with you long after reading.
I received an Advance Reader Copy from NetGalley and Tachyon Publications in exchange for an honest review.
