This is the best one so far! We have a major cliffhanger at the end, and we get to meet some pretty famous people along the way.

Had it not been for the very end of this book which unnecessarily extended a series that was already given a fulfilling conclusion I would have rated this book a five stars. But the ending was one of those where if felt less like there was more story to tell and more like a publisher unwilling to let go of a cash cow series. The thing is extending a series that's already fulfilled its story arc is what ruins a series in my personal opinion.

Setting that aside, prior to the last bit, this book was by far the best yet in the series. What makes it so, in my opinion, is how different it is from the other books in the series. The three travelers journey to a time before the Historians were created, before anyone knows about the breaks. Not only that the SQ from their future is there actively fighting to stop them from fixing what needs to be fixed. The book allows glimpses into characters besides Dak, Sera and Riq which is something new and it brings to life all the treachery of the time period which I really enjoyed. I loved how it discarded all the childish snarking between the three and established them as friends willing to do anything for each other.

On top of all that the action was intense and the plot keeps the reader on the edge of their seats from beginning to end. Highly recommended.

Magic. Again James Dashner has created a beautiful tale to continue the infinity ring series. Dak, Riq, and Sera come face to face with Tilda, the red lady of the SQ. They meet Abraham Lincoln, Aristotle, and Alexander the great. But then comes the interesting- Dak's parents! Amazing, James Dashner has great ideas that he expresses well, and he makes the characters come alive in a special way, making them seem to have more of a personality. Never forget the fantastic James Dashner.

Each new adventure in this series just adds to the fun. Now that I've figured out you need to play the games to enhance the experience I am enjoying these even more.

The best part for me is even though each book of the series is written by a different author, the personalities of the main characters hold true in all the books.

Very fun read. Can't wait for the next book!

In what was supposed to be the final book in the Infinity Ring series, Rik, Daq, and Sera have traveled back in time to meet Aristotle and try to fix the Prime Break before it happens by saving the life of Alexander the Great. Surprised by their old enemy Tilda and her Eternity Ring, the three friends must regroup and figure out a different way to fix the Break. Recommended for fans of the series. You must read the other books first. Grades 4 & up.

One of the top 3 of the series. A good story and a good series conclusion..... except there is another book? Hmmm.... I may just keep with this one as the ending because it seemed to end pretty well for me. Is this series going to be like 39 Clues where it never ever ends? Definitely gonna wait a while before reading the next, if I do at all.
