This is quite probably the best book I've read this year! I loved the characters but more than that is the endless possibilities here for these characters. How awesome that Jus could (maybe, hopefully) portray each and every character a dozen different ways. On each parallel earth she gets the opportunity to rewrite each individual with totally different characteristics. Heck she can even turn a he into a she! OMG! what an opportunity for a writer and by default-ME and other lovers of books. I gotta tell you Jus this is so awesome it makes my head explode at the possibilities!
Now, to get back to this set of characters in our world. While Kori is pretty much a typical teen trying to deal with the loss of her Mom to cancer, she is mature in so many other ways. I'm sure that moving from one army post to another every year or so and being the daughter of a general accounts for a lot of this. While her unauthorized painting of murals may seem typical teen, she is one who would face up to the consequences of her actions without hesitation, without excuses. She sees these murals as a way of keeping her mother alive and honoring her memory,
of living her life in vivid color.
I can so understand her snarky reaction to her Dad leaving her to be babysat by a couple of teenage subordinates. There are more than a few lol moments here. I was initally afraid that there would be a romantic triangle between Kori, Cage and Noah but loved the twist in this possible romance. The action is pretty much nonstop in this story and the possibilities endless. The only drawback I had to the whole story was the speed that had me reading from cover to cover in one sitting. Crap! now I've got to wait endlessly (to me) till the next book comes out.
One saving grace though, I have the " DENAZEN" series on my Kindle and if it's a fraction as wonderful (and all the reviewers rave about it) as "INFINITY" maybe, maybe I'll survive till the next "INFINITY" book is released.
