Welcome to Litsy!

2 brothers are just trying to live as people w/ powers around them fight amongst themselves. When Emil suddenly manifests an ability, the war becomes much more important in their lives.

This was an interesting magical twist on the superhero genre, w/ some really interesting characters. But the pacing was nonstop, we didn‘t get really deep characterizations, & there‘s a difference between a cliffhanger & ending in the middle of a climax.🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑

Perfect for fans of TJ Klune's, The Extraordinaries, and X-Men (with more LBGTQ+ rep), Infinity Son is an urban fantasy with lots of moral peril and magical creatures! It's a little predictable, and unfortunately reads more like a Wattpad story, though my biggest complaint is that the pacing issues had a tendency to pull you out of the action as everything was happening too damn quickly. I just wanted to scream, WAIT, WHAT? so many times. (1/3)

Pretty much sums up life.

I don‘t always enjoy superhero books, but this was a fun take on superhero tropes. I loved the way that natural powers, powers stolen from animals, and phoenixes all combined in this book. The characters were fun, and the pacing was good. Even the dramatic bits were well executed. I felt a little out of touch with the whole war dynamic for some reason. If you hate cliffhangers, not a good book for you. #LGBTQ #Phoenix #Roll100 #SuperHero

I‘m reading three series for a panel I‘ve been tasked to moderate. This is the first book I finished. I‘m intrigued by the play around humanity/heroism & a fantasy world built in such a recognizable real one. I also read a ton of critique about this book that surprised me! If you could ask Adam Silvera about this series, what would you ask?

Going strong. #24in48 #readathon this is my second check in!

Just finished book 1 of my #24in48 #readathon
Rating: ⭐️⭐️

Most of the book I was confused. I was confused on who was who because both boys sounded really similar to one another. There wasn‘t much character development. Then, the world building was very confusing. I didn‘t understand everything in the world. The ending seemed abrupt in my opinion. I did love the magic in the book. The cover is amazing as well.

If the X-Men went toe-to-toe with mutants who acquired their powers unnaturally and lived in a world of magical creatures, you would have Infinity Son. I loved that despite the magical / supernatural elements, the setting is an alternate version of our reality. Great cast of characters. Definitely excited to see where this series goes.

2/5🔥fire darts

This YA fantasy about brothers who struggle with their roles in a war they didn‘t want to be in fell short, mostly due to poor world building. It felt like Silvera was trying to set the scene in this novel to get into the details in the inevitable sequel, but I probably read it, despite the great diversity of characters and messages on male body image.

After 6 months of barely being able to read, I‘ve decided to get back into it by journaling what I read. Always makes me feel better

This saved itself a little bit in the last 60 pages, but getting there was an uphill battle. Other reviewers have put it into words better than I can, but to me it was just such a mess. Also, too many characters that were all basically the same person, except one who was /literal/ trash. Will I read the next one in the series despite my great dislike? Yes. I have faith in Silvera making something great from this mess. (please don't let me down)

Doing some work, starting a new library book, and spoiling @sebrittainclark 's cat

On one hand this is frustratingly badly written and I want to smack just about 90% of the characters (the rest are too docile and lifeless to warrant even that) and on the other hand I want to keep reading in hopes that there will eventually be some world building and some reasonable behaviour. Idk what's even happening. What is a celestial? Blood caster? Specter? We just don't know 🤷‍♀️

I feel terrible but I thought this book was just okay. It had a lot potential and ideas that normally I would love in a fantasy book. It just fell a little short for me.

Momcation update: I am laying in bed listening to my new audiobook. That‘s it. Best getaway ever!

Like I‘ve said before, I absolutely LOVE dust jacket artwork! This month‘s The Bookish Box features Adam Silvera‘s new book Infinity Son which I‘m excited to start!😊📖 #bookmail #tbr

If I start on beating on this book I won‘t be able to stop! 3 weeks into 2020 and I doubt another book will disappoint me more in the next 49 weeks.

I finally finished a book! I feel like since I have gone to work from Winter Break I am just in a funk with reading doing the work week. I really enjoyed this book and it was action packed. Now i just have to wait for the next book to come out.

If I lived in a cave the last year, this book would have still been a cover buy for me; it is gorgeous. This book will do well for those who are crazy for Melissa Meyer‘s Renegades series. Superheroes, villains and the morally grey, those with powers, powerful and powerless drive the story, along with the legendary mythical creatures. All of this and it ends as expected, with a cliff hanger

I haven‘t read at all today because I was waiting for this to come in the mail! Can‘t wait to start it!

I am not sure what I think. I talk a lot about the book, but don‘t think I give an opinion. Hmm... https://trishtalkstexts.wordpress.com/2020/01/14/review-infinity-son-infinity-cy... I have loved in his previous work, so this hurts me a bit. #blogging #reviewing #trishtalkstexts Infinity Son is out today. Thanks #Netgalley and Simon and Schuster for advanced copy.

First read of 2020, and we are starting the year off with a bang! I love everything Adam Silvera writes, but his first foray into fantasy is definitely his best yet. Even if it utterly WRECKED ME, but what else did I really expect from Adam Silvera??? 🔥🔥🔥

Wow this book was so good. I loved the characters, they felt so real and so genuine. I liked that the story was set in our world but with magic, hydras, phoenixes and basilisks. Honestly any story that has phoenixes in it, I'm so down for! This is my first Silvera book and if he writes with such feeling in all his books, I need to read the others asap!

I was lucky to get an ARC for this book. I cannot believe how much I love it and I keep thinking, I want book number 2 now, and I still have to wait for book number 1 to be officially published. If you love modern YA fantasy you must add this to your stack! IT IS AMAZING!!! Adam Silver at his finest!
