I looooved it. So good, I hope she writes many more (all of her suggestions at the end sounded interesting to me! But I think I want one 18 years later the most)

Whenever you reach the final book of a beloved series there's always a bit of trepidation. Will all of my questions be answered? Will I like the way things end?
When you're in the middle of the series you always feel safe that even if you didn't like the way one of the books left off, at least there's a promise of more to come.
I approached Fighting for Infinity with caution. I shouldn't have. I should've trusted Karen Amanda Hooper to do her story and her characters justice, because - wow - this book was amazing.
I don't want to reveal too many details and potentially ruin this for anyone, but let's just say I did get all of my burning questions answered and got an ending befitting the entire series. I'm actually going to go and re-read the book just to soak it in again.
If you're a fan of the series, buy the book and clear your schedule. If you're like me you'll be up half the night because there's just not an easy point to put the book down.
But if you haven't read the rest of the series, I recommend going back to the beginning and starting with Grasping at Eternity because you want to experience the entire journey.
Karen Amanda Hooper is a must-read author for me, and I'll definitely be on the lookout for more books from her!

Thanks to Netgalley and All Night Reads for giving me this book to review.
Maryah’s soul is stuck at the mercy of the evil Dedrick, in a windowless room with fellow prisoner, Rina. At the same time Nathan is beside himself with worry for Maryah who has not woken up and Dedrick’s soul has visited the Kindrily house. With secret, lies and revelations surfacing Maryah struggles to know who to trust and how to get free. Guided by the enigmatic Rina, she finds out more about herself and that Dedrick has a diabolical plan and must fight both body and soul to save those she loves.
Fighting for Infinity is a really good finish to the Kindrily trilogy, as it is action packed, romantic and I could not put it down because I had to know what happened next. While for most of the book I did not know what was happening next and made me doubt what I knew about some of the characters, I guessed about the big surprise from near the beginning and I was hoping for a more unexpected twist.
Maryah is stronger in this book and while she is helpless at times, she never gave up and is willing to fight for those she loves. However, part of me was wishing that Maryah would not get her memories back, as Mary come across to me as a control freak and a know it all. I really like Nathan as he was worried and very protective of Maryah but was not possessive and knew that sometimes, but not all the time, she had to do things for herself. The new character Rina is mysterious and naïve yet wise at the same time and is a really interesting character.
I really liked this series and I hope there might be a spin-off maybe about Rina and I would like to read her other series the Sea Monsters Memoirs. I would recommend Fighting for Infinity to fans of the first 2 books Grasping at Eternity and Taking back Forever.

At the end of the novel Hooper asked what more we would like?
I would like to see Shiela again.
I would like to see Rina again.
Basically I would love a short novella!

*I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
Fighting for Infinity was a good ending for the series. There was so much that had been hinted at in the first books that it was nice to finally have it wrapped up. I will admit to being frustrated at times within this book because I so badly wanted the answers, and they were doled out in tiny little patches.
I really thought Maryah was pretty childish still in this book, and I understand that she erased but it was hard for me to understand why she was so adamant that she knew best. It was very annoying especially since it was easy to see that even other characters were more aware than she was. I think it went to her head that she was once a great seer, but in reality she was just a teenage girl because she erased all of her past lives.
I also really enjoyed the other characters in this book, but there were so many of them it would take to long to list. I will say that Karen Hooper does a great job of creating fleshed out characters who are different from one another even in the minor roles they play.
One of the few things I didn’t like was the ending, and I don’t want to spoil anything but I waited 3 books for Maryah to grow and it was like she went from A to Z very quickly. There was no real character growth as it was just handed to her, and that didn’t sit well with me. Because of that I would give the book 3 out of 5 stars. It was a great book, and when read back to back with the others in the series I think it would have flowed maybe a little better.

Now this is how you write an ending for a series! Seriously. All the questions were answered, it was epic and the end was perfect. I was a bit confused in the beginning because it's been a while since I read the first two, but I caught up pretty quickly. I really loved this series and I recommend it! It's paranormal romance meets X-men. Sort of. Not really. It's unique! I can't write a full review on this one because it's the last book and practically everything I'd say would be a major spoiler, at least for the other two books and it would ruin everything for you. The only real disappointment for me is the cover. I loved the covers for the first two and this one doesn't seem to fit in with those. Plus I don't really like it. But hey, the book is great so. I read it in one sitting, I couldn't put it down. Just read it, 'kay?

This series is a beautiful tale of love, hope, reincarnation, and the stars. I hope to see more kindrily books in the future.

I loved the story, I loved the characters. I'm so sad to see them all go live their best lives (no pun intended)
I would literally read this again just to visit the characters! They all had so much depth!

I finally got to finish this series and all I can say is, wow! Hooper takes some common concepts and twists them to be uncommon and original. I cannot say how many times I had that huge gasp while waiting in public places and reading this series because something unexpected happened! Hooper has the ability to make you forget about what WILL happen because you're so focused on what IS happening. She sucks you in and reading her spins on reincarnation and its intricacies is absolutely fascinating! If you're looking for something out of the norm for reincarnation theories and stories, THIS is it.
Also, I can't wait to read more, as mentioned at the end of this last book! Great job, Karen Amanda Hooper!

I enjoyed reading this but:
• What about April? Really? She was only a tool for the writer to tell Maryah River scaped?
• At the end, when Maryah becomes Mary again, I felt like it was a stranger talking in Maryah's body. And everybody was happy, but I was like. Wait. Let me know you! Maryah and Mary's personalities were very different.
I hated how it ended with a stranger.
Ps. When Nathan "died" I didn't care.
Ps2. I really didn't care, but I cried like a baby when it was Rina dying.
Ps3. I already knew the end and that Rina was Dakota's soulmate from the middle of the book. No big surprise here.

Gostei de ler isso, mas:
• E a April? Sério? Ela era apenas uma ferramenta para que Hopper mostrasse a Maryah que River escapou?
• No final, quando Maryah se torna Mary novamente, senti como se fosse uma estranha falando no corpo de Maryah. E todo mundo estava feliz, mas eu fiquei. Espere. Deixe-me conhecê-la! Maryah e a personalidade de Mary eram muito diferentes.
Eu odiei como tudo terminou com uma estranha.
Ps. Quando Nathan "morreu" eu não me importei.
Ps2. Eu realmente não me importei, mas chorei como um bebê quando Rina estava morrendo.
Ps3. Eu já sabia o fim e que Rina era a alma gêmea de Dakota no meio do livro. Nenhuma grande surpresa aqui.
