And with that, the Drowned Gods trilogy comes to an end. Infinite Shores was a bit of a mammoth, but wow. This has been an intense ride with tons of pages in between, but what a world it has been. Keep reading this book review of Infinite Shores for my full thoughts.
Summary
Fate cannot be broken—not even by the gods who serve it.
Emory refuses to lose Romie again. Her friend’s fate hangs in the balance as the monstrous Clover plans to use her as a sacrifice to steal power from the deity Atheia—and make himself into a proper god. To stop Clover, Emory needs the help of Atheia’s dark counterpart, Sidraeus. Yet this enigmatic deity cannot be trusted, and if Emory is to ally with him, she must invoke an ancient magic to keep him tethered to her side.
Meanwhile, in the divine workshop of the god of balance, Baz learns he has a role to play in the coming fight to save the crumbling worlds and their weakening magics. Yet all he can think of is Kai and the gruesome fate that awaits him at Clover’s side—a fate, the god tells him, that is beyond even his reach. But Baz is determined to save Kai, even if he has to rewrite time itself.
As chaos reigns and the tides of a corrupted magic threaten to consume all, Emory and Baz must contend with mercurial gods, vengeful deities, and those hell-bent on eradicating Eclipse magic to save the people they love—and write an ending to their stories that defies fate itself.
Review
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
In Infinite Shores my favorite element had to be the question of fate. In this trilogy ender, we have characters who are up against immeasurable odds. Against gods, time, and fate itself. We ask ourselves, if we could change something, would we? And would it even matter? If we had this power, would we change the past at our detriment to save the future? I loved turning over these ideas and it’s really where Infinite Shores shines. Baz was my favorite and for each of these books, I’ve liked a different character best so that’s a testament to character growth! It’s this expansive world from Stranger Skies and continues to expand.

It’s a bit of a mammoth of a book and there were a few times I put it down. But it hooked me all over again with the ways it explores what we will do to change the future. What an impressive finale to a phenomenal series. Each one keeps growing and makes you think about how these new sacrifices will be made.
