Kai has now discovered the truth about her past and the
city of Ninurta. With a changing Government in its early fragile stages there
have been a growing rebel group who wants a revolution and get rid of the Infinite.
Kai is stuck in the middle with Avan not remembering his human self and discovering
his new powers, and Reev who is acting suspiciously and may be involved with
the rebels. On top of this she has lost her powers to manipulate time. But
everything changes when they learn they are not alone and there is a city
outside of Ninurta called Lanathrill who needs their aid. With Kai and some
Hollows, including Mason, investigating, will they discover that these people are
hiding something?
The Infinite is the very enjoyable sequel to Gates of
Thread and Stone which was well written and a fascinating story. It has more
action and twists, and we get to see more of this world.
Kai has become more confident in this book but she is still
determined and caring and does not know what she wants to do with her life. I miss
the old Avan and I struggled to warm to the new him but he was not much in this
book so I hope he is in the next one more. Similarly, I also wish Reev was more
in this book as I feel there is more that we can learn about him.
Mason is a nice character who is tough yet cheeky and I like
that he played a bigger role in this book. There are also some interesting new characters
including Emryn who is a single-minded ruler who wants to live up to his dead
father expectations and restore glory to Lanathrill, and Cassia who is a sweet
and amiable girl.
I really liked this book and I can’t wait to read the next
book in this series. I would recommend The Infinite to fans of the first book
Gates of Threat and Stone
