One of my favorite things about this is the writing and the dialogue. Some of these character say the coolest stuff and it set my mind running, even the villains get some pretty epic lines. I love the intense emotion that Yancey pours into every chapter, making you understand and feel exactly what the main character does. The odd downside is that this book is more about coming to terms and learning than it is about progress, it’s very much a middle book but I didn’t find that to be too bad of a thing though it was a bit slow in places.
Some of my favorite chapters were Ringer’s pov. She’s tough and analytical, and she is willing to do what she has to in order to get to where she needs to be. Not to mention we find out much of the plot from her storylines and much of the action is with her as well. I loved the new twists that we’re treated to and I can’t wait to see how everything comes together in the next book! The outcome could be really awesome or really bleak, and I’m excited that I’m not sure which one it will be. Yancey pulls no punches and isn’t afraid to put a character to the test, and he isn’t afraid to make that character lose.
The audio narration is fantastic as well. I enjoyed both narrators and appreciated that they got both a female and male to do the different point of views.
The Infinite Sea is a middle book that focuses on the mental game of the Others, and how far they are truly willing to go. It does suffer from some middle book fatigue, but overall I found it to be engaging and well worth the wait
