BOOK REVIEW: Split Infinity by Thalia Kalkipsakis
Actual rating 3.75
A split-second decision, a single time-skip. The world that you know, gone in a blink.
These backstreets are familiar territory. At least, they used to be, because when I bolt down the next alley I’m met with another of those smooth walls. A smaller block of flats has been built in the middle of the lane as if some kid playing Urbancraft just dumped a 3-D model house in any old gap.
Now a sharp and adept time-skipper, Scout jumps years ahead to find the world transformed. Technology has accelerated and the people she knows have grown up, or disappeared. Most pressing, the government that she was trying to escape has used the time to prepare for the return of the time skippers.
Caught between finding the mother she left behind and time-skipping ahead with Mason, a series of events lead Scout deeper into the tunnel than ever before.
I’m not sure how long I’ve been here. No idea who I am. More is out there somewhere, I think, beyond the horizon of no time, but I don’t know the way.
Here, there is no future and no past. Every moment exists at once. But every now and then I catch a glimmer of time, a spark of memory. Staring into a sky that never ends. Arms around me, holding me tight. Sharing pancakes.
Home.
The only way out is by the strength of her love and the power of her mind. The illusion of time has one more surprise, one with the power to change everything.
Split Infinity is a hard one to talk about without giving certain major plot points away, but suffice it to say that we get to see more of Scout’s world, witness some further side-effects and exploration of time travel, and are presented with a mystery that is sure to come back into play in book three.
