I requested this one back in the day as I had every intention of reading it. However, its been years and I still haven't gotten around to it and while I feel guilty at not reviewing a book I think that I need to admit to myself that I won't be reading this one anytime soon....if at all.

Sequels are hard to write reviews for because of the risk of spoilers. I didn't feel this was on par with the first book in terms of my interest level. I enjoyed the pacing and the characters and getting more of the world. The additional characters always makes me nervous but that wasn't to be the case here. They felt as real and 3 dimensional as all of the others they were a great addition. As is on par with sequels Character grow and mature (hopefully) and in this case they do. Kai has great character development that carries through and it's really great to see that. .

The Infinite takes off where Gates of Thread and Stone ended (albeit with a cover that is not quite as nice), and Kai is finding herself in a new position, in more than one way. As she's struggling with these, some shocking news will upset everything.

I find I really like this series for some reason and I haven't been able to put a finger on exactly why. There were a couple of twists and discoveries in the book, which kept the pace fast and made it a quick read. Some things felt a bit rushed, and I would have liked to learn more about some of the events, but I enjoyed reading it. I learned that this was supposed to be a trilogy but we're almost four years after the publication of The Infinite and there still is no news, so I won't hold my breath, but will check every now and then.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Already reviewed and feedback sent ages ago. Not sure why these are duplicating. But please find review content at my archived blog www.behindonbooks.wordpress.com

- Thanks! Sorry this is a little haphazard. Just trying to clear my Shelf here. :)

I never had a chance to review this before it expired. I'm sorry!

3 stars out of 5

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, and while this one was good, I didn’t like it quite as much.

Kai was struggling with several things in this book; after the end of book one, she was feeling guilty and unsure of herself. There was also the fact that she couldn’t seem to use her powers, which was highly concerning. I so wanted her to tell someone but she wouldn’t and I was worrying the whole time what this would mean for. As the book went on, Kai became more assertive and I appreciated her character development.

Avan wasn’t in this book as much as, and when he was, he was very different (as to be expected after the end of book one). I wanted him to get his memories back so much, and even though I knew there would be a love triangle in this book (the typical “the first guy isn’t here so let’s give this other guy a chance”) I couldn't get behind it because I still remembered how Avan was in book one and couldn’t properly root for the other love interest (even though he was actually really nice).

I loved that we got to find out more about the world in this book, and explored different places. The writing was really engaging and I liked reading about the new characters that were introduced.

The ending was another huge cliffhanger and I have no idea if we’re getting a book three, so I am left with many, many questions. I really am hoping for another book, because I’ve enjoyed this series overall and would like to see how it all ends!
