I like the AI theme of this book and how this has a twist on it, It was full of action and a lot of things that made me think and look at things from a different perspective. It was full of good twists and turns, it kept me interested throughout the whole book!!

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

After trying to break the rogue AI Nytho out of his digital prison, Keza gets caught trying to free her digital lover, and ends up in a cell. Now she plans to escape with Nytho. Is she helping the AI willingly or does she get manipulated?

It pains me to say that this book was not for me, even though it should've been. Cyberpunk with hints of cosmic horror sounds amazing, but I found next to no cosmic horror in this story. Except for Sonja, I couldn't connect with any character, she was the standout in my opinion. I didn't like Keza, and was not really interested in whatever happened to her.

What I did like a lot was the pacing, wordlbuilding, and the relationship between Guel and Sonja was fun to read. I wanted to know more about the world of this book, about the corporations who work in the background, and about the AI's. I thought those parts of the book were it's strength. Making the relationship between Keza and Nytho more slow burn could have offered time to flash out the world around them.

This book is for people who like character driven stories (at least that's how I saw the plot), relationships between people and AI, and a cyberpunk setting with interesting terminology.

Wow, what a ride! If you are a fan of cyberpunk or Lovecraftian/ cosmic horror, you have to read Nytho. This story grabbed me from the first sentence, and I was hooked. I read it in a single day just to find out what happened! In a world filled with Sci-Fi books, Nytho felt unique and fresh. I really hope the author writes more books exploring this world!

I would recommend Nytho to readers who enjoy cyberpunk, dystopia, general Sci-Fi, and Lovecraftian influences.

Thank you to NetGalley and Victory Editing for the arc! All thoughts and opinions in this review are my own.
