CHASING ETERNITY (Stealing Infinity, 3), by Alyson Noël, Entangled: Teen, Dec. 3, 2024, Hardcover, $19.99 (young adult, ages 14 and up)
A time travel will risk everything to save the future and the past in Chasing Eternity, the third book in Alyson Noël’s Stealing Infinity trilogy.
I’m about to break one of the biggest rules of all.
But I need to find my dad. And if that means going back to New York City in 1998 to find him ― before I’m even born ― then that’s what I have to do. Because I need someone I trust to teach me what it means to be a Timekeeper.
Now I’m in the land of post-grunge, low-rise jeans, baby doll tees, chunky boots…and risking my own existence in the process. Awesome.
This is no ordinary trip. Just about anything can go wrong, and if I get found out, I’ll lose not only my home and school…but Braxton, too. Because there might not be enough forgiveness in the world for what I’ve done―and what I am about to do.
Because the secrets are more terrible than I thought. The reality is even more horrifying. And I’ll do whatever it takes to find out the truth about Gray Wolf Academy, the strange billionaire who runs it, and not only why he’s so invested in traveling ― or “Tripping” ― through time, but what his real plans are.
And time’s almost up. —Synopsis provided by Entangled: Teen
Alyson Noël’s Stealing Infinity trilogy — Stealing Infinity, Ruling Destiny and Chasing Eternity — is an intricate, engrossing series for older young adults and new adults that definitely needs to be read in order.
The story features time travel, tarot cards, numerology, art, history, mystery, intrigue, romance and adventure. The central theme, though, is a young woman who learns that the past and future are interconnected.
There’s a lot going on here, but all the elements work well together. It’s organized chaos and the books are better for it.
It’s in Chasing Eternity that Natasha really comes into her own. She strong and decided. She has a path forward accepts her role, acting as the strong protagonist that she is.
Noël’s writing remains smooth and confident. And the series end fits perfectly within the world she’s created.
