So far, so good. This first one sets up the rules of the world nicely, lays out the characters and hints at the overall problems, while giving us plenty to deal with. It feels like a complete book, not a tease, and even though it sets up the second one, you don't feel cheated out of an ending.The story mainly follows two brothers, Brighton and Emil, who couldn't be more different. One is an introvert, the other is obsessed with fame. The magical elements in the world serve as a platform to play on much larger issues of humanity, friendship, identity, family and belonging, and done in a way that isn't preachy or heavy-handed. I appreciated the voice a lot, and it reads like a conversation with a teenager would. I'm not sure how well these books will age, but they are very now. I also love how Silvera handles LGBTQIA+ characters, with no drama and no coming out, just this is me, I'm gay, moving on. Also really appreciated the insertion of LatinX bits of culture and cuisine, and especially loved that Colombia gets a loving and respectful mention. As a Colombian, I often tense up when I see my country in a book or a movie because it is almost always a sign that the bad guy is Colombia, that there is a drug shipment involved or that some terrorist event is going to drive the plot at some point, but that is not the case in these books, for which I am very grateful. I actually read that the author has a Colombian friend and wants to make sure their culture gets treated well, which is awesome. Other than that, the magical elements are really cool and the fantastical beasts, phoenixes and basilisks and the like, are written in a way that seem almost mundane. Very, very cool. ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars Two stars for two reasons *by D***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 19, 2020* It hurts my heart to have to write this review but like so many others before me have said, Infinity Son misses the mark in just about every aspect.There are two positives:1. The idea itself is great. I'm a lifelong lover of every shade of Fantasy and it is clear that Silvera is as well. He had all of the ingredients for greatness here, unfortunately the execution was lackluster.2. QUEER POC LEAD CHARACTER. The majority of our cast of characters are POC and a good number of them are LBGTQIA+. It is unfortunate that the majority of the characters themselves were 2 dimensional carbon-copies of one another personality-wise.The negatives (Or every other part of this book):1. The plot is so insanely cliche that the only thing that could have made it bearable was if it were written brilliantly. It is not written brilliantly. Silvera lost himself in this world and it shows.2. The world building goes from non-existent to info-dump central and never finds a happy medium. Things are either never explained or over-explained to the point of paragraph skippage. There are also huge gaps in logic within the world, the magic system, etc. It's such a mess that I am shocked this book made it to print without someone saying something about it.3. The characters were AWFUL. My favorite thing about Silvera's writing is his way of getting you to like his characters--no matter their flaws--without you realizing it's happening. That was not the case with Infinity Son. Brighton is unlikable out the gate and remains so until the last page. His last act in the book, though I saw it coming from the beginning, is the only thing I found remotely interesting about him. Emil on the other end of the spectrum is wishy-washy AF and Silvera needs to sit down and do some serious character revision moving forward. This is your lead character, give him a personality, please. The supporting cast was the same person over and over again, just given a different name, physical description, and one alternating personality trait.4. The writing is straight up bad. In an attempt to have his teenagers sound like actual teenagers Silvera loses everything about his writing style that makes his books worth reading.5. After reading this book I feel like someone (literally any one of the dozens of published, NYT bestselling authors that Silvera thanks in his acknowledgements) should have sat down with Silvera and told him that this book was not how to start this series. The last chapter of this book was how to start this series. The events of this book are backstory that we can be given in small snippets throughout a story that follows the rising antagonism between these brothers. This book is the origin story of Brighton vs. Emil but I can't care about the origin story because I don't care about the characters or the world.I hope Silvera redeems himself and this series with the second installment but I doubt it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Skip the description and just read the book *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 14, 2021* Infinity Son is a solid enjoyable story that you won't regret reading at all. I did kinda regret reading the description because it made part of the early story feel like I'd been spoiled.My personal commentary: Someone get Brighton a giant Snickers bar cuz that boy needs to chill like wtf someone stop him from raising my blood pressure!!! He's got his good moments but like most of the time I was just like, can you go somewhere else my g?! Oh boy my internal ranting was so feverish that I had to remind myself that he's a fictional character just to move on. Oh and just wait till you see what this man does later on and tell me I'm not supposed to start a petition to have him just literally spanked in the next book.Emil is best boy and bro and literally just deserves a whole book of self appreciation in my opinion and I disagree with any and all negative comments on his character and I am totally not biased in that assessment. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/133988787-infinity-son-infinity-cycle-book-1](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/133988787-infinity-son-infinity-cycle-book-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
