YA dystopian novel that raises some interesting moral issues. Definitely has the developing love triangle but better than many I have read over the last few years. I will be reading book 2

Fantastic book! If you are unsure pick it up! The twist is amazing and heartbreaking and the only thing I'm upset about is that the next two books I have to wait for!

I received an advance copy of The Infinity Courts from Simon & Schuster Canada via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
The Infinity Courts follows Nami, an 18-year-old girl plotting out her future when she's suddenly and tragically killed. She wakes up in the afterlife, and to her shock, finds it's been corrupted by Ophelia, a Siri-like AI assistant.
The Infinity Courts had a great premise, but ultimately failed to deliver on much of its promise. The concept was intriguing, but ultimately plot proceeded at a glacial place, the characters weren't compelling, and too much of the book was spent inside the main character's head as she grappled endlessly with her own morals.The Infinity Courts could have benefitted from a fast pace and more action in my opinion, in addition to better fleshed out characters.
The book did have some redeeming factors, notably the third act plot twist, which was well-done and surprising. I just wish the whole book had been as compelling as its final chapters.

Really enjoyed this and didn't see the twist at the end. The main character was a bit annoying at times hence why dropped a star.

I thought this books was great! Not 5/5 great but for a YA story, I was very happy with it. I enjoyed the twist at the end and I will genuinely be reading the second book.

Me: buying this book thinking it was something else
Me: somehow being surprised that this book was different than I thought it was, struggling through it because I wasn't as interested, holding out hope for the potential of an enemies to lovers romance
Me: gets whiplash from the sheer audacity of that plot twist, automatically bumping the rating up a whole star, leaving me straight up flabbergasted and ready for the sequel
