I'll admit it had been a long time since reading Infinity Reaper, so it was slow going catching up on everything.

This series gets a lot of flak, and I don't think that's anyone's fault. This is Silvera's first fantasy, first trilogy, and first real exploration of significant worldbuilding. If you're a Silvera fan but not a fantasy fan, this isn't for you. If you're a fantasy fan but not a Silvera fan, this probably isn't for you.

I adored this series through the first two, and while the third was a little rough in the first third, I was fully invested once again by the end.

My major gripe with this one is the tendency to recap everything every character has been through each time there's a POV change; there's a LOT of reflecting and reminiscing in this one.

I also think some people need to understand that Brighton is SUPPOSED to engage you. You're SUPPOSED to feel fury and hatred towards him every time it's POV. I understand that might make reading this difficult for some, but you don't get to give low star ratings based on an effectively written character. That being said, while I believe Brighton's ending, I wish more time was spent on that transition to make it that little bit more believable.

Overall, this was an exciting, gripping, and emotional end to a trilogy I have really enjoyed all the way through. The worldbuilding found it's footing, and I wish this got the recognition it deserved so I didn't have to read all the way through just to learn about all the phoenixes again.

Love you, Adam. Please keep writing ❤️

Another banger from Adam Silvera himself, this guy genuinely never misses with anything he writes.
The book and just the whole series made me feel things so intensely that very little books can compare (even tho there was a lot of hating for A CERTAIN SOMEONE even then I grew to like him in the end)
The book is long but so worth it because, cmon, it's the end of infinity, you don't really think it would be short right?
If you ever have the chance, read the whole series, especially now that it's all released and you can read continously. Trust me, you don't regret it.
As alway, 10/10 for you Adam.
