"Fantasic Sequel to Eternity"
INFINITY is ETERNITY's sequel. While ETERNITY was
good, INFINITY was fantastic. INFINITY is about an immortal woman from the first
book who by an odd turn of events is Raven's sister. Much
of the story takes place in the early 16th century in
Scotland, where Adrianne grew up. She's mortal and 17 when
we meet her, but well aware of her potential as a witch. I
thought this was an incredible characterization of a
proud, stubborn, know-it-all 17-year-old girl. She jumps
into battles with no thought of her mortality, with no
thought to consequences, just because her pride is stung,
or if she sees a wrong being done. Nicodemus was well
drawn too, as a slightly world-weary immortal that is drawn
to protect this headstrong girl from herself. Together they
have to face a trio of evil immortals who are determined to
see their end. I also really liked the secondary character Nidaba. I hope
she gets a book. She deserves a better ending. And I
liked the fact that the characters from the first book had
a pretty important part in the second. I'm used to seeing
cameos of characters from previous books but I liked that
Maggie Shayne made them an important part of the second
book. Sheila Raines -
