Review: The Infinity Courts

 

Okay I am gonna be honest, the title was really intriguing. Am I a petty little shit for wanting to read this book because of the title? Yes, I have always been a petty little shit. Deal with it. But do I regret it? Absolutely not, so deal with it yet again.

The Infinity Courts by Akemi Dawn Bowman is the story of Nami, a young teenager with full of hopes about her life after high school. However, all of that is ruined the moment Nami is murdered the night of her senior year party. Finding herself into a place called The Infinity, Nami finds herself stuck in a war between the humans and the Residents, the people created by Queen Ophelia. And apparently... she is the strongest hope there is.

QUICK THOUGHTS AND REVIEW: 4.5/5, an absolute banger.

PROS:

1. No Drag: I loved how the plot didn't drag in the beginning. I partly think that this is becoming a point that I state too much. Maybe I'll omit it in the other reviews, lemme know in the comments ay? I'd like to get some feedback.

2. The thought of afterlife: there is no man alive that has returned from the dead, nor has any man lived to tell the tale of the afterlife. It's only a topic that we can speculate on. The idea of afterlife appealed to me and the fact that the soul is facing difficulties to survive. Man, that just hits, or maybe I'm prone to hitting (this is a non violent blog ahem, but you're allowed to hit on me, >-< wink wink nudge nudge) but it hit.

3. Romantic tension: It was so damn much it hurt me physically. Like, Gil being "I am pretending to hate you because I love you" and Caelan being "I'm pretending to love you because I hate you but I actually love you but I am pretending to hate you by loving you" is my weak point. Textbook male leads are my weakness. 

4. The plot twist of Caelan being Gil slaps. THE BETRAYAL SLAPS. At this point even if a plot twist is predictable it will slap me. I'm vulnerable (potato).

5. I actually didn't know this book was a duology so I am kinda interested in how Nami will make her return.

6. Actual training sessions: Most of the books skip over this portion and if I am going to be honest, this is actually pretty annoying. Like mate, where's the character development? Character development is more than scarring the character. So I was really glad to see Nami making an effort.

CONS:

Nothing tbh, I enjoyed it a lot, but it seems to lack that X-FACTOR that prevented me from giving it a 5 star.

OVERALL, A NICE READ, definitely something I'd read again if I didn't have a bunch piling on my tbr.
