Review of Infinity
Posted: 20 Apr 2024, 19:26
[Following is a volunteer review of "Infinity" by Catalina DuBois.]
I finished the book in one day because it was too good to put down. It was an interesting twist on a historical and mythological love story. The characters basically popped off the page and came to life.
The ill fated love story between Sara, and her childhood best friend, and Prince of Rome, was doomed by his father's terribly high expectations and evil tendencies. But as you read, the author gives you a glimpse into his father's, Titus, story and it really opens up your perspective on how and why people can become so villainous.
The characters in the story are well known names of mythology. I thought the author did a very good job of writing her own version on history, but I also thought the story was a little bit lacking in details pertaining to the characters. Roman mythology is a very deep well of a subject that the author just barely skimmed the surface of. Although the characters were very well developed, and very much so likeable (or hateable in a few cases) there was a lot more potential for character development. The story did end on a way that a sequel, or even a prequel, would be very appropriate, so perhaps the author plans on diving a bit deeper into the story for each of the characters.
