Well the series didn't improve with the second book. It's actually seeming to be on a downward trend. Not sure how many more books I'll be reading in this series.
Same issues as last time.
It's finally revealed that Ambrose is actually Nick from the future. I picked up on this in the first book though so I wasn't surprised by this. I WAS surprise that Nick is apparently going to doom humanity.
I'm confused by Nekoda and now Casey. Why are they both rather suddenly clinging to him? There at least was some lead up with Kody. But Casey was out of the blue. Is it because his powers were unlocked?
Nick seems to be a magnet for all the shit of the world. How does he keep getting into situations with people of authority where they hate his guts?

After really enjoying Infinity, I was expecting to really love Invincible too. As a big fan of Kenyon, she pretty consistently satisfies me with most books I've read by her so far. But while Invincible was fun and entertaining, it wasn't quite as exciting of a ride as Infinity was.
Even though Infinity had a pretty unbelievable plot line, I can't deny the fact that it kept me entertained from start to finish. It was pretty action-packed all-around. While Invincible did have a pretty intriguing storyline going on, it wasn't nearly as action-packed as the first book in the series, and that brought my rating down a bit because I was expecting it to be loaded with action as well.
Still, even without action on every page Invincible was a great book. As future Nick interferes with young Nick's choices in order to hopefully end up in a better place, other things are changing. New players are entering the game because of the changes happening to Nick's past and young Nick has to discern who he can trust and who he can't. Since most of the new players aren't in the Dark-Hunter books (at least not yet) I'm not even sure who he can trust or not. That's definitely a good thing though as it keeps me on my toes. While I love to see the Dark-Hunter characters I already know and love, it's cool to be in the dark on some things.
But the best thing about this series is getting to know Nick more. Despite the fact that he changes a lot in the Dark-Hunter series, he's always been one of my favorite characters, and I'm so happy to get to see him as his old snarky self again. It helps a lot to balance out the depressing and kind of emo Nick we have in the Dark-Hunter series right now. :)
Overall this is a really fun YA series. I think even non-Dark-Hunter fans would enjoy it, even though I'd highly recommend both series if you're an adult. Nick is the ideal protagonist and I enjoy the fact that he learns a new lesson in each book that will help him from going over to the dark side. :) I'd definitely recommend it to Dark-Hunter fans as well as those who just love a good YA paranormal.

I feel like not much happens until the end but still entertaining to read and fast paced.

Still a solid narrator, though the beginning was super confusing from where the 1st boom left off (I gave the first one a re-listen before diving in). While this one didn't quite catch me the way the first one did, I might still continue the series- all 8 of them...

I'm so loving this series, Nick was always one of my favorite characters in the Dark Hunters series. SO it would go without reason that I would love him in his own series. But now I'm curious if that the things that are happening to Nick now is going to change the course for Nick in the Dark Hunter series??? Because in the Dark Hunters series he didn't know he was anything but human, and in TCoN he knows he isn't fully human, and that he is someone who will end up ending the world in his future. It's something to ponder on as I work my way through the rest of the series, and the upcoming books in the Dark Hunters series.

What can I say, I love Nick so much lol! He's an incredible character and one I would not be upset to see on screen! I forget just how much I loved these characters and then I have to hide my snickers behind my hand before people look at me weird this series needs more attention than I think it gets.
