Infinite Sky by C.J. Flood
2.0
My detachment with this book is so high that even the later parts should be deftly sad and moving, I wasn't moved and felt sad. At all. I don't exactly know why but I just can't connect with Iris (the mc) and the other characters involved in this story.
Infinite Sky is not a bad book. It's not even boring, too, but when I'm not emotionally invested with the characters and even with the story, it tends to topple on the boring direction even it wasn't.
Infinite Sky is a family story. Iris is trying to live her normal life after her mother left them and their family starts falling apart. Then, throw gypsies into the scene and a friendship has been formed between Iris and Trick (the gypsy). And add to that, the things Sam do (Iris' brother) that is either for himself and for his friends.
As a fan of realistic-fiction books, I was disappointed that it didn't deliver. That story is actually good and worth reading but it turned out to be confusing and dull as I read. The writing is okay and not at the same time. It didn't bring out the best of the characters and it lacked of the gripping factor to sustain my interest.
To sum it up, I will appreciate Infinite Sky more, if not, for the lack of emotion and the flatness of the characters.
