Goodreads Synopsis:
Balancing epic and intensely personal stakes, bestselling author Adam Silvera’s Infinity Son is a gritty, fast-paced adventure about two brothers caught up in a magical war generations in the making.
Growing up in New York, brothers Emil and Brighton always idolized the Spell Walkers—a vigilante group sworn to rid the world of specters. While the Spell Walkers and other celestials are born with powers, specters take them, violently stealing the essence of endangered magical creatures.
Brighton wishes he had a power so he could join the fray. Emil just wants the fighting to stop. The cycle of violence has taken a toll, making it harder for anyone with a power to live peacefully and openly. In this climate of fear, a gang of specters has been growing bolder by the day.
Then, in a brawl after a protest, Emil manifests a power of his own—one that puts him right at the heart of the conflict and sets him up to be the heroic Spell Walker Brighton always wanted to be.
Brotherhood, love, and loyalty will be put to the test, and no one will escape the fight unscathed.
My Review:
I’ve actually been waiting to read this book for a while and I was really happy to be able to get the ebook from my library. I wasn’t totally sure about the concept of this book, but I did love They Both Die at the End and I really like Adam Silvera. This book really rose above my expectations. The plot went along relatively smoothly, I liked most of the POV characters, and romance didn’t take over anything. That being said, WHY. This was riddled with tragedy and frustration for me and while I expected it, I was not prepared. It’s still a great book, though.
I’d recommend this book to people who like urban fantasy and of course other Adam Silvera books. The cliffhanger in this book literally had me repeatedly shouting “NO!” at the walls and I loved every second of this book. The world building isn’t really complex, but it is interesting and it was fun to see how things went on for all of the POV characters.
Overall, I would give this book…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
