Eternity by Matt de la Peña

4.0

It's hard believe it's over now. Reading this series has been a delightful journey. Ten years ago, sixth grader me picked up the first book from the local bookstore because duh, it's history and adventure! After reading it, I kinda forgot about it until nine years later (which was last year) when I started collecting the rest of the series (because the perfectionist inside refused the idea of not owning the complete series) and read book 2-4 amidst a reading slump. Now that I finally finished the entirety of it, it seems quite surreal because I feel like I've grown up with the trio - Dak, Riq, and Sera - and had all those adventures with them.

It's nostalgic, sentimental, and emotional to think that only a couple of years ago, a middle school version of me was reading AMIT while chilling in a hammock (cheers, Dak!) and now this current college version of me is in borderline agony, realising that my time with my favorite (and OG) golden trio, the time travels, the Hystorians, and the weird and surreal meetings with famous historical personalities, has now officially ended. Thank you, Infinity Ring for introducing me to the world of reading and for nurturing my love for history EST. 2011! ⏳
