Infinity Son by Adam Silvera
4.0

WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THAT ENDING SILVERA??? SERIOUSLY.

Okay so I have thoughts. I was very much looking forward to this book. I mean, it's Adam Silvera. So when Cait (Paper Fury) asked for a buddy read, I didn't hesitate! And whew, it was a wild ride.

First let me say what I wasn't a big fan of. The worldbuilding and magic system were a bit confusing and left me with a lot of questions. Like where are all the adults? It took me a while to get into it. But once I did... I also felt like there should have only been 2 POV's?

Second, I am huge trash for brother stories and fierce brotherly bonds and Emil and Brighton were definitely the stars of this book. You get a soft Hufflepuff and an ambitious Slytherin and their bond is so fierce and protective and gahhh. I absolutely loved them. And I also have a soft spot for Ness. Just saying.

But THAT ENDING. It left me gasping out loud and blurt out a series of strange noises because WHY END IT THERE OMG. Now I HAVE to read book 2. Why do I not have it yet?

All in all, it wasn't perfect, but it's still a solidly good fantasy with a gay MC and brotherly bonds that make my heart sing. So go forth and read it!
