laughlinesandliterature's review against another edition

Infinite was a good book, there were a few things that I didn’t like, but most of the book felt just as good as Asunder.
I did enjoy that Ana grew even more, she grew to be able to stand up to Stef, Sam, and everyone else. She realized that she was the one with power and she was going to fight. I liked that she was always reaching out to other creatures and trying to understand and get help.
I did enjoy the interactions with the sylph, dragons, and phoenix. It was cool and I liked that Ana appeared fearless even if she wasn’t. Her fear was not enough to stop her, and just sit back idly and let Soul Night happen. It was so brave of her, but I liked that she wasn’t unafraid, she just knew what needed to be done and so she went and did it.
It bothered me how things were with Sam in this book. After trying to make Ana feel like she was the center of his world, and that she was loved he basically pulls his support. I know that he didn’t think that’s what he was doing, but if I were in Ana’s shoes I would’ve felt the same way. It also bothered me how quickly she was able to accept his apology after his silent treatment for months. MONTHS. I just figured someone with over 5,000 years of reincarnations could act a little more mature. I can understand Ana’s reaction because this is her first life, but Sam’s was incredibly immature.
I also felt like there was too much crammed into the last 50 pages. I felt like it needed to be stretched out a little. It just moved to fast and I actually felt myself skimming because I just couldn’t believe all of the craziness that happened. The ending while satisfactory was also a little anti-climactic. I’m not sure what I expected, but after everyone sacrifices themselves and dies I just expected there to be a little more oomph with the ending.
It was a good finish, and all of the questions were answered. I would give the book 4 out of 5 stars just because of some of the things didn’t sit well with me.

This is such a lovely story. I'm so glad I bought this series. That way I won't have to continuously go to the library to check it out! This will certainly be a re-read set for me! Ana and Sam's relationship is wonderfully precious. The humour is deliciously snarky. And DRAGONS! Put this on the top of your TBR queue.

This was a really great ending to the series. Lately, it seems like authors think that the last book in a trilogy needs to have a ton of conflict and a lot of unanswered questions by the end, which is really annoying. This book did have some conflict, but it didn't overwhelm the book; there were still some really sweet moments between Sam and Ana and I loved that. The last chapter was also really great; it coincided with a conversation that Sam and Ana had about 100 pages before, and I just really loved that. Also, I am so, so glad that there weren't a ton of unanswered questions. I had so many questions after I finished [b:Into the Still Blue|14288998|Into the Still Blue (Under the Never Sky, #3)|Veronica Rossi|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1372458835s/14288998.jpg|19928978], and it really frustrated me. But Meadows gave explanations for everything. The explanations from the temple books were especially interesting. She finally explained how Heart was created and how Janan came to be in the tower; it finally told us the complete story, and I absolutely loved it. That story is actually the synopsis for [b:Phoenix Overture|18129411|Phoenix Overture (Newsoul, #2.5)|Jodi Meadows|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1374763665s/18129411.jpg|25464305], Meadows' e-novella, so I might read that now that I know more about what happened. The inclusion of all the animals and the explanations of the dragons and sylph were also great; I just love when everything actually ties together between the three books, which is unfortunately rare these days. Overall, it was a really great book and a really great series.

This is a very well planned and wonderful ending to this captivating trilogy. As much as the ending is foreseen, it's still a beautiful ending to a wonderful story about finding the truth about the world and the truth about yourself.
The love story between Ana and Dossam is typical, of course, but in the end it isn't about love conquering all. It's about truth and justice. Whether or not it is achieved, well you'll just have to read the book. I give it 6 stars even though 5 is the max.

"I'm choosing you."
For not being a huge fan of book 2, this one completely surprised me.
I loved it. And it has, by far, the best "catch you up on the series" reminding sentences in the beginning that I've ever seen. Well done Jodi!
This story was fast paced and addictive. It was fully of understanding and information but not overwhelmingly so. It caught you up, made you re-fall in love with Sam and Ana and then left you reeling as each secret was revealed sentence after sentence, chapter after chapter.
I held my breathe and raced through at least the last 100 pages. absolutely amazing. I'm so glad I finished this series. definitely worth it!

How come I didn't rate this ? wow...Sorry and I have forgotten whether i read this or not...oh wow...let me check my reader if i have....But I think I have because I remember the end....so I think I have read t. It will be five star even if I don't remember because I know Jodi Meadows writes wonderful books!!
Ok now I remember yes! I read this and had an epic ending. Well developed,emotional and unpredictable because I couldn't imagine what would happen next. A book which will give sweet pain in your heart because of the way its told. You will feel it. I bet you will!

I really enjoyed this series. It wasn't as predictable as a lot of YA reads are.

I wish there were a soundtrack for this series. I'm sure the music in my head isn't sufficient. Such a good series and wraps up nicely.
