Thank you NetGalley and author Sarah Ready for the copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

"Jolene’s mission is impossible, yet the fate of the Forbidden and the clans rests on her shoulders. She must either best Jo-Vi’el or surrender to the annihilation of her people.

Forced to protect a young conjurer from a feline predator, Jolene and Jo-Vanna find themselves in the middle of The Forbidden, a rogue faction with its sights set on overthrowing Isolem Treff’s tyrannical empire.

Now that the boy has used magick, Jolene knows the emperor will send his Legion Commander, Jo-Vi’el, to thwart this potential uprising and annihilate anyone who opposes his rule.

Sarai’a is a pledge in the Prim Guard, chosen for her skills as an investigator. After noticing suspicious movements within the Prim Guard, she solicits the help of a fellow pledge, Hasai’ana, known for acting on her beliefs, even when her choices aren’t popular.

The destinies of the twin warriors, the Forbidden, and the forces aligned with Jo-Vi’el are about to clash as Urah, their sun, casts the shadows of their twin moons over Bolimar.

The Clash of Blood and Stone will darken the empire's shadow, but who will be left standing when the dust settles?"

I enjoy reading this book.

This had everything that I was hoping for from the description. It had a great overall story and the characters felt like they belonged in this world. I enjoyed the overall feel of the story and how the twins were used in this story. It left me wanting to read more in this series.

"Twinfinity" presents a gripping tale of rebellion and survival in a world torn by conflict. Jolene, a Bai'aran Dok Toi with the blood of a mighty Prim warrior, finds herself at the heart of a dangerous uprising against the ruthless Emperor Isolem Treff. As she grapples with her role in uniting the clans and standing against oppression, Jolene's connection to The Grey and their elemental magic becomes her best hope for survival.

The dynamic between Jolene and her twin sister, Jo-Vanna, adds layers of complexity to the narrative, as Jo-Vanna struggles to sway Jolene toward accepting a young conjurer into their rebellion. Against the backdrop of prehistoric Bolimar, filled with dinosaur predators and formidable adversaries, the stakes are high for Jolene and her people.

This first volume of the YA Fantasy series excels in its portrayal of strong female characters and the age-old battle of good versus evil. Readers are drawn into a world where courage, magic, and the will to fight for freedom collide in an epic struggle. "Twinfinity" promises an immersive journey filled with intrigue, danger, and the hope of a brighter future for Jolene's people.

I like the dynamic between the twin sisters, Jolene and Jo-Vanna, and the richly imagined world of prehistoric Bolimar. The blend of elemental magic, fierce battles, and the fight against oppression creates a compelling narrative that keeps readers eagerly turning the pages.

This is the first in a new series and I cannot wait for the follow-ups. What strong female characters in the world of fantasy war! This is a strong new addition to the genre and I recommend!

The worldbuilding was excellent! Following two twins with their complex and different personalities was a nice twist as well. Especially seeing how they had to navigate The Forbidden while they were forced to protect a young conjurer.

I loved the character building in this book. Every character is described in such detail and you can see the changes that take place throughout the book. Excellent plot with a rather unexpected twist.

Twinfinity: The Forbidden is an epic adventure brimming with imagination and immersive storytelling. The novel explores the classic battle of good versus evil in a richly crafted magical world. The twins at the heart of the story are complex and their growth is compelling, with raw emotions that make their struggles deeply relatable. The detailed world-building offers a vivid, front-row view of their universe, enhancing the overall reading experience.

4/5 ⭐

This is a well written book with amazing world building and lovable characters.

It gets confusing in places - I felt that sometimes I need to follow too many characters being a twins they were like the amount was double. There are some parts of the world that were not explained well, or were not on purpose shown in details.

Maybe if you read all the Twinfinity books the uncertainties will be cleared, but who knows.

Anyway, I enjoyed this one and would recommend if you want to read semi-epic fantasy.
