Neron Rising Saga #6
Neron Wars
Nova knew that the galaxy wanted to be rid of Dominion, but she did not expect the immediate bravery that came after she and Valen declared war against Cyrillius. It’s a daily battle to protect Kaelea from his fleets, but leaders, soldiers, and publicists from planets near and far have come to aide in the fight. Best of all, Nova has reunited with her family. But this undertaking isn’t without its trials. Most of the galaxy still doesn’t trust Valen. With decades of rumors and witnessed actions, it will take an incredible act of risk to prove he’s changed. Until then, the weight of leadership falls squarely upon Nova’s shoulders. She’s never been trained to be a leader, but the entire galaxy is watching her. Failure is not an option. In the end, they don’t win this war until three things are Isroth, The Dominion, and Cyrillius. It’s time for Nova to build her most powerful weapon yet.

Neron Wars is book six in the Neron Rising Saga and it's exactly that - a war!!
Keary is doing a superb job of setting up these episodes perfectly and everything flows beautifully. Nova and Valen have declared war on Cyrillius and his rule over all. They are starting from ground zero and must build not only an army to stand and fight with them, but get others to believe in their fight and cause.
As with every episode, things move fairly quickly. Plans are being developed, put into action and the war starts quickly. Keary does a great job of keeping all the characters true to their characteristics. and abilities. It's not easy to win everyone over and while I found some things too easy to happen - it allows the book to move along at a decent pace.
Overall, another amazing book in this series. Minus a few things that I wished were more fleshed out, I enjoyed the book and can't wait to see what happens in the next episode.

Every single time. Every single time I read an installment in this series, I am blown away when I reach the end. This series has been such a pleasure to read, and this book was probably the best so far. Towards the end, I even had to put the book down at one point because I just knew that they were walking into a trap and I couldn’t handle it. Yes, it is that good. I read this book in one setting (I only put it down for a few minutes to get my breath back!) because I just couldn’t put it down. And, now I am left bereft wanting the next book. Please?!? I have to know what is going to happen next! Pick up this series; you really won’t regret it. I really do highly recommend this book! I was provided the e-book which I voluntarily reviewed.

Another captivating episode. Another thrilling adventure with a war brewing. It was so exciting and invigorating all at the same time!
This episode was fast paced and kept me in the edge of my seat! I can’t wait to read the final installment!

Loved it! Neron Wars is the 6th book in the Neron Rising saga and I have to say that book 6 is back to the action again! The title fits the story exactly as we see Nova, Valen, and their friends gather resources and allies across the skies to defeat Cyrillius and end his reign of terror. With the high stakes of lives in the balance and Nova and Valen's own foreseeable future on the horizon, the gang of family and friends devise a plan that should inevitably capture Cyrillius and destroy his planet. With their greatest powers of Neron surging through their veins and a clever and brave crew behind them, we finally get to see the showdown we've all been waiting for since book 1.
But not all plans come to fruition and even the best laid plans can have some glitches. While Nova and Valen vow to end Cyrillius's cruel domain, other factors come into play and their decisions become divided. While I LOVED reading the skills managed by Nova and Valen, I hastened to think that they will never win the war against the evil overlord and finally find peace.
Neron Wars is an exciting read and once again we are in the head of Nova and her thoughts make you feel as if you're right there with her. Keary clearly has a knack for writing strong and resilient females but Nova is more than just a hero. She is a woman who finds courage through a battle of wills and defeat. A woman who deems her self unworthy except in the eyes of those who love and know her. She is a woman who is self deprecating yet does not let her own insecurities get in the way of doing the right thing. She is Nova Ainsley, the newest hero throughout the galaxies, and one of the bravest person who fights through diversities in order to give the people she cares about a brighter future. You won't help but cheer for Nova because while she puts up a brave front, it is her insecurities that draws you to her and wishes for her to succeed.
I am eagerly waiting for the next installment to Keary's exciting space drama. There is still romance and comedy and a whole lot of ingenious fighting throughout the book. There will be new beginnings and closures of old wounds. And in the end, there will be the beginning to something we've all been waiting for.
Thank you, Keary for the latest saga!

Neron Wars is the sixth book in the Neron Rising saga by Keary Taylor.
Finally reunited with her family and declaring war on Cyrillius , Nova and Valen need an army. But some are loyal to Cyrillius , others are just too afraid of what his retaliation would be on them if they lose, but some step up to the mark to take on the biggest power in the galaxy. The previous episodes of this saga I feel have been a build-up to this latest episode, everything Nova and her family, and even Valen have been through has lead them to this point.
Wow just wow is all I can really say about this one. It seems Cyrillius has taken something from Nova, Valen and the rest of the galaxy in every episode at this point, but now finally those turning against him can finally show what they are made of. I love seeing the fact that with each episode Nova becomes stronger and more confident in her abilities as a Nero. Valen also becomes softer and all the more loveable. I am still forever pulled into this saga, from episode one all the way through to episode six. I can quite happily sit and read the entire episode in one sitting, it’s one of those “just one more chapter” stories when you suddenly realise you have finished it even though you were only meant to do one more chapter.
With the end of the episode, will Nova finally find out everything about herself, and who she was born to be.

Once again I sit here gritting my teeth waiting for the next episode in the series.
This installment continues with the world on the brink of War. Finally as people realize it's time to stand up and take a stand against Dominion. I enjoy this series because watching Nova grow into someone who is strong and confidence. But still needs her sources of support and love to show that it's okay to be fallible.
I'm Blown Away by the show of power and creativity of the characters that is written into this book. Every time I open my book, I feel myself sucked into the story and I can feel the power and the emotions that these characters evoke.
My only sad point is that the story seems as though it is being rushed and I wish there was a little bit more building within the war and how it is being won or how the world is rallying together, and I would like to see a little more about the abilities of the Nero. But with that said, I cant wait for what the next episode will bring!

So here we are, the war. There’s been so much build up to this point that I almost didn’t want to read it, for fear of disappointment. But I was not!!!
Nova is a brilliant figurehead for this war, even though she had constant second thoughts about why she seems to be the one they all follow.
She begins to see that a lot of people are weary and scared of Valen, and tries to show people he really is 200% behind this revolution.
Valen goes with a small team and strikes directly at Dominion, disabling their communications and gaining a huge advantage for their side.
The war goes on as wars do, until Nova builds a super weapon. She uses this to completely annihilate Dominion and win this part of the war.
We leave Nova and Valen on their to another amazing adventure, and I cannot wait for more.
Absolutely LOVING this series.

This was another fast paced and energetic edition to this saga - ‘Neron Wars’ is exciting and at times exhilarating. Once again, Nova’s character shifts and changes and she rises to face new challenges. Throughout this saga, Nova has grown hugely and we see this again in this book.
As always, Keary Taylor adds in elements of romance and without saying too much, I loved the evolution of romance and relationships in this episode. Alongside the romance, we see more of the bonds and relationships between others in the book.
The nature of these episodes often leaves us waiting for the next book and this was no different. I enjoyed the twists and turns in ‘Neron Wars’ and I’m really looking forward to seeing how the story ends in the final book.

Wow! Just WOW. I am constantly surprised by the imagination of Keary Taylor, she is just incredibly talented. In this 6th installment of The Nero Rising Saga, so much happens, it's crazy to think that it is not a 500 page book. Nova continues to rock, she shows tremendous growth as a woman, but also a leader. The relationship between Valen & Nova grows a lot too, they continue to have fierce chemistry, while figuring out how to end Cyrillius and the Dominion. A few twists a turns, as usual, with a pretty big surprise towards the end. For some reason, I'm still convinced that a certain character is not what they seem, so we will see what happens next. I totally can't wait for the next one!

Awesome Space Fantasy book series
Not a lot of author can write this many books in a series with the captivating suspense storyline, development of romance, and flow of story. This book series definitely hit all of the above. Enjoyed the dev of the characters and the romance. I wish this was a movie. It felt like I watching a movie while reading each book. I loved that the author tied up the war then now we get to see where Nova was born. I hope she is a royalty. Loved that Nova was badass. I can't wait for the next book. Only thing missing on this series wass the steamy sex scenes which did not affect the flow of the storyline though. Definitely recommend this series.

From episode one to episode 6, this series has kept me very captivated. I love the twists and turns each episode brings and I love the romance between Valen and Nova. I would always recommend the whole series to those who love sci fi with a bit of romance. I love the Star Wars kind of feel but adding a spin to it. The concept of the neron substance being the main focus and that others want to take it to have that power instead of just having it within them makes the story line more intriguing than I thought it would. I love her work and every episode turns out to be better than the last one.

Episode 6 of the Neron Saga and once again it moves along at a great pace, I'm loving this world Keary has created here.
Plans are in motion to end Cyrillius and the forces are gathering to put an end to the tyranny once and for all. Things seem to be moving quickly towards the inevitable showdown but as ever we are left wanting more. The more I read of this series, the more invested in it I become and I can't wait for the next instalment to find out what's going to happen next. Just when you think you know what's happening, the story twists away from you. More please!

I gave this 4 stars as it just felt a bit rushed, it wasnt as smooth as previous chapters. That being said I love this series, this chapter was great, i was definitely surprised when it came to Cyrillius! I love Nova and Valen and how they have grown. It's great that you really see how family help get you through the difficult times. I love how Nova is realising her full potential is far greater than she imagined. She is not just a weapons maker - she is so much more! I am looking forward to the final chapter.....I think this will be the most exciting of them all! :)

The war has finally began. They have alot of help but of course need more. The troops are having problems trusting Valen which is to be expected. And what he does to prove himself made me fall in love with him even more. All of Nova closest people are back. There reunion made me cry uh so good. The trust and love between Nova and Valen is so HOTT. It gives me heart eyes. You find out how Nova and Cyrus cross path before which blew my mind!!! As always Keary knocks it out of the part with her writing. The ending is near and i'm excited and sad to be there.

The war has begun, and instead of the people looking to Valen for leadership, they are looking to Nova as their beacon of hope. She was not expecting that she feels like she is nothing and is not prepared for the burden of so much responsibility. However, she takes it on because she must.
“You are everything, Nova,” Valen says, his voice a whisper of conviction. His brows furrow and his Neron blue eyes bore into me with absolute certainty. “You are what will bring light back to this galaxy. You are who these people believe in.”
The war is not drawn out because the Nero is on Nova’s side. They are a force to be reckoned with. Nova also makes a devastating weapon that is a game-changer.
“I’m nothing. But at times, nothing rises. Nothing has no choice but to do what must be done. And nothing becomes the spark that changes everything.”
Neron Wars was exciting, action-packed, and I can’t wait to read the final chapter. I am rating Neron Wars: A Space Fantasy Romance 5 Boundless Stars.

This keeps getting better and better. War is here, their future is not longer been predicted it's been created. The galaxy doesn't know to trust Valen after the atrocities he committed under Dominion's command. Cyrillius is running for his life with a desire for vengeance. So many other things are been added in this book that I devoured it in one night. Now the wait restarts until the next one comes!

Schedule it. You will NOT want to stop reading....for anything. Fast-paced war strategy. Chemistry. Family. Nova takes the reins of leadership. Valen finds a way to prove his intentions. Twists, turns, and a full-scale galaxy-wide battle of epic proportions. Taylor takes her readers through the action with such vivid finesse, it feels more like watching a movie--an epic movie I would pay to see. There's only one more episode, and it's gonna be great!

One ending another beginning
So Isroth is no more thanks to Nova and Valen but this isn’t the end there is still things that need to be done including killing evil dude number one and freeing her blood relations. This story does not disappoint it just keeps getting better. I’m so impatient for Valen and Nova to work on those two kids as I’m sure they are going to be even more powerful then their parents who are great...

I just realised, one episode till the ending, that this book is just a simple, straightforward book. No twists or turns and everything is easy and happy. But, it is still amazing! If you’re looking for a book with a maze for its plot, this is not the book for you. But if you’re just looking for a light, amazing story to enjoy, then this is definitely the right one. Fast and enjoyable, it’s like having sandwich for brunch. A simple break between other heavy books.
May 7, 2019
O.M.G. I could NOT put this down until I was done with the whole book!!! I am kind of sad to know that this saga is coming to an end, but I am also so excited to see where we end up. I have absolutely loved seeing how everyone of the characters has grown and the relationships have developed through out the story.
May 7, 2019
With every single installment, I read it so fast and I am so disappointed when it ends... I want the whole thing now!!
This episode was so detailed and fast-paced that it almost felt like I was watching a movie, I couldn't put it down.
I couldn't recommend this Author more, I have read every book and her work is always engaging and compelling.

I don’t know why I continue to be surprised every time I reach the end of the book and am left begging for more. Love this series so much. Nova and Valen make the perfect couple thriving in that grey area of right and wrong. They’ve waged war on Cyrillius and if anyone didn’t guess they’ll be headed to save her home planet next!

Wowzers. Episode 6 is so good. All the other ones are as well. But they are just getting better and better. These novellas should become a TV series, that’s how good they are to me. Nova and Valen are just perfect for each other. I can’t wait for more. Thank you Keary for every story you write and I truly enjoy reading everything you write.

Quite satisfying to see the revolution underway. The Big Bad is having a bad time and Novalen are becoming famous as the leaders of the revolution. Some mysteries are explained.
Edan is still a delight but also even though I know he's 19 he has rabid 13-year old energy which makes it weird to hear him talk about flirting with the ladies.

Following on Keary Taylor has captured every essence of family love and commodrie between the characters ! I've been pulled in from the very first book all the way to Neron wars and I'm still left wanting more from this fabulous author ! It's a must read from me !

War isn't coming it's here and Nova and Valen are fighting it together.
They need people and ships to help in the fight but people are leery of Valen after seeing him by Cyrillius side for so long.
This is Nova and Valen at their best and I can't wait to see what happens next.
