A New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and IndieBoundbestseller!
Balancing epic and intensely personal stakes, bestselling author Adam Silvera’s Infinity Son is a gritty, fast-paced adventure about two brothers caught up in a magical war generations in the making.
Growing up in New York, brothers Emil and Brighton always idolized the Spell Walkers—a vigilante group sworn to rid the world of specters. While the Spell Walkers and other celestials are born with powers, specters take them, violently stealing the essence of endangered magical creatures.
Brighton wishes he had a power so he could join the fray. Emil just wants the fighting to stop. The cycle of violence has taken a toll, making it harder for anyone with a power to live peacefully and openly. In this climate of fear, a gang of specters has been growing bolder by the day.
Then, in a brawl after a protest, Emil manifests a power of his own—one that puts him right at the heart of the conflict and sets him up to be the heroic Spell Walker Brighton always wanted to be.
Brotherhood, love, and loyalty will be put to the test, and no one will escape the fight unscathed.
Don't miss Infinity Reaper, the gripping sequel, which includes a special prequel short story starring Ness!

THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD!!!!
- THE PLOT TWISTS OMG
- EMIL IS MARIBELLE'S DAD????
- ATLAS NOOOOOOOOOO
- EMIL AND NESS KISS ALREADY
- THE ENDING AHHHH
Well, that was fantastic! I do have a few issues, such as the writing sometimes makes certain actions seem unclear, as I feel like there's not enough description about it to give the reader time to comprehend it, like when the Halo Knight kills her husband, or when Gravesend is about to hatch. Other than that, I loved it!! I need the sequel!
Too much Instagram, not enough character development. Emil monologued for the better part of the book. Brighton was downright annoying. Ness' storyline is more interesting than everybody else's combined.
Make your own rules fantasy. Seriously, way too much Instagram! Would not recommend

This had the potential to be great but fell incredibly flat. For me, this is another case of an author who writes really good contemporary novels attempting to write a fantasy novel and failing. I will continue reading Adam Silvera novels but only his contemporary novels.
