Inferno Chronicles of Nick

Part IV of the #Gautierathon complete.

After how much I enjoyed Infamous, this installment was a little bit of a let down. However, the plans for Nick and his rise to power are starting to take form. And we also learned a lot about his Dad. This book introduced the idea of an evil worse than Adarian who is out to get Nick.

The ending of this book has me really confused. The title of the next book is Illusion, so does that mean the next book focuses on Nick getting out of the weird alternate universe we see him in during the epilogue?

Compared to the other books, this one seemed to have less action and more scheming and focused on the struggle for power. There was not a clear enemy to destroy in this book as there has been in the others.

As with the other books, we are introduced to a lot more characters in this installment. Plus we also learn more about Ambrose even if he isn't specifically helping out Nick.

One last thought, the Dear Tormentor letter that Brynna wrote for the Anti-Bully Brigade in this book is absolutely amazing. It was so beautifully written and I love that Sherrilyn Kenyon had the entirety of the letter in the book. It was such insignificant to the overall plot but so important in terms of the the bullying Nick dealt with, the bullying found in Infamous, and a main message against bullying in general.

A little cringy and clichéd when it comes to the writing style. But this is expected of most young adult books. However it is a great book with a well planned storyline and decent character arcs.
