A-freaking-mazing!!!! I actually listened to the audiobook and loved everything about it!!
So this week is the #Gautierathon meaning I want to read the 5 books in the Chronicles of Nick series that are currently out. Infinity was an interesting start to the series. Nick is a great main character. I love his sarcasm and sassiness they really add to the story. Throughout this book there were quite a few times where I would become confused as to what exactly was going on. I'm not sure if this was because of the writing itself or because of how we as readers are being introduced to the characters and the world.
The book is incredibly fast paced. I think the actual plot/action spans just over a day, but yet so much happens. We have zombies, werewolves, daimons, vampires, goth gods, etc.
I have not read anything in the dark hunters series, but many people say you should if you read the Chronicles of Nick. I may have to get my hands on the Dark Hunters books depending on my thoughts during #Gautierathon.
Set in the same world as Kenyon's many other books, I felt too often like I was missing something by not having read any of them. Words which by context appear to carry weight didn't because they were meaningless to me. Outside that issue, it was a fairly entertaining read.
As a Dark-Hunter fan I loved this book but I think if I were a newbie as I suspect a few teen readers would be who may pick up this book I don't think I would have loved this book that much.
As a fourteen year old Nick Gautier (Go•shay) is just as sarcastic, charming, and smartass as his adult self and just a little jaded. You can't really blame him for a being a little negative though because our Nick's had a rough life. He lives in a one bedroom condo with his single mom who has to work as a Bourbon stripper to support her and her son. The kids at school don't make his situation any better by picking on him for things he can't control and the teachers aren't all that sympathetic let alone nice. Nick's a tough kid though, an AP student on a scholarship who loves his mother. Of course remember Nick is still a smartass and once he mouths off the principal and gets himself suspended things start getting a lot more interesting. Read more
