 I finished this at 00:30. I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep.

First of all, Emil got himself into some love triangle and I hate it. Team Ness tho. And why so many people are so awful to him in so many ways? :( The boy seriously deserves some cuddles with phoenixes.

Second. WHAT THE FUCK WAS THIS OPEN ENDING, THIS WAS HORRIBLE

Third. About that same ending... I hope Brighton is eaten by phoenixes, vomited, run over by a car and then die in a trash can like the piece of shit we always knew he is.

Forth. I have to take a break for a few days years, thank you for understanding *goes to the other room, sobbing*

Conclusion: I will not sleep until the third book of this fucking trilogy and Adam doesn't give me back my heart. I'd also like a happy ending for Emil as a compensation but I'm not too hopeful about this. I also have some hopes for Mirabelle and Tala but... *sigh*

While some parts of this book was better and more fleshed out (the world building), some parts were still confusing (the powers and wands) and others suffered (character development). I think Emil's character was developed, although not as much as I would have liked. Others like Mirabella stayed so stagnent, and Brighton seemed almost like a cartoon villain. The plot was very convenient at times as well and everything just worked out a little too easily.

3.0

Definitely an improvement over Infinity Son, but still not great. Brighton is absolutely insufferable and I’m not sure what the point of including Maribelle’s POV was. The beginning is pretty slow and boring but it starts to pick up towards the end. Silvera also relies on a lot of cliches in this book—it essentially sets up Brighton’s villain origin story, but it’s nothing new or unique in comparison to other superhero stories. This also makes a lot of the plot twists pretty predictable. The characters don’t really have a lot of personality either outside of their one defining character trait. I really just can’t get behind the whole Infinity Son/Savior/Reaper/Kings thing either. The characters are way too old to be coming up with these catchy superhero names for themselves and it’s really cringey to me every time Brighton talks about it. I know it says something about Brighton’s character that he’s choosing these names for himself and Emil, but it just comes across as really childish. I also didn’t like that Emil basically overcame all his body insecurities as soon as some hot guy called him sexy. It felt really disingenuous.
