I'm so with you on her powers! There's so little talk of it that it's rather a pointless thing to include. You'd think the ending would be upset, too, but I wanted it to be permanent! <br /><br />Weird feelings about her adopted brother in The Infinite? EEK. I got it off Netgalley and will read it, but...that's awkward. I'm sorry you didn't like this, Carina! :(Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00583849311706991000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622073970993395238.post-20502219730151068562015-03-07T22:22:57.638+01:002015-03-07T22:22:57.638+01:00I have this book on my kindle, but have not come a...I have this book on my kindle, but have not come as far to read it yet.

I gave it a 3.5. One thing I remember is the pacing was very up and down---a couple of really slow draggy parts, but I did like the world building and the sibling relationship.

The world building was confusing, the romance made me uncomfortable - I didn't get their attraction either and Avan's past wasn't my favorite. Then the end changed everything before they could work through anything! I didn't care for Kai much either, and she didn't explore her ability enough. This book had a lot of potential that it didn't deliver on. I don't think I'm curious about the future of the series to read further. Thanks for your honest review!
