Infinity 7: War of Gods, by Braxton Cosby and Keshawn Dodds, offers an expansive narrative that intertwines the fates of a group of friends, each bestowed with unique ethereal abilities. These abilities elevate them to a status known as “Super-Normal,” a term used for those who have evolved beyond typical human capabilities. The storyline unfolds as the protagonists navigate the challenges of reuniting their team while contending with a prejudiced faction intent on eliminating Super-Normals. Adding to the complexity is the antagonist, Stratus, whose ruthless pursuit of power leaves a trail of devastation. His ambition to dominate Earth poses an imminent threat, especially as Super-Normals face increasing scrutiny.

A notable aspect of the book is the engaging and contemporary dialogue among the characters. The banter, often infused with humor, brings a sense of levity to the otherwise intense narrative. Lydia, in particular, stands out with her sharp wit, providing moments of amusement. The use of current social media references and modern slang integrates seamlessly into the dialogue, enhancing the book’s relatability and adding depth to the diverse cast of characters. While the book presents a rich tapestry of characters, I feel that navigating their real names and aliases offers an intricate layer to the narrative. This aspect, though occasionally challenging, adds to the depth of the story. I believe that a character guide at the beginning could enhance the reader’s experience, aiding in appreciating the full spectrum of personalities within the story. The book cleverly uses the concept of alter egos where characters exhibit shifts in personality when assuming their Super-Normal identities, a creative nod to classic superhero narratives.

Infinity 7: War of Gods is a compelling read for those who enjoy fast-paced action and the dynamics of a found family. The book’s action sequences are vibrant and engaging, complemented by an inventive superpower system that is likely to captivate its audience.
