The Infinity Mantle is a single word epic. Author Elaine Davidson has created a story that, unlike many fantasy books, is both all encompassing and easy to read. I'm usually not the one to read and review the fantasy genre because it feels like there is too much going on, but not with this story. The Infinity Mantle is told in a way that people who aren't familiar with the genre can get into it and yet it is still a full epic.The story of the Infinity Mantle itself is about two worlds, two universes being torn asunder by something mysterious called the Infinity Mantle who proposes the option of winning a game or unleashing an long ago evil. The only thing that can bridge the gap between the two worlds is the medaillon and the only one can hold the coin. Of course the way the ending is told, it really isn't the ending, but something more.The diversity of characters, the situation the humans found themselves in, the use of Centaur vs Centuar in the book not to mention the chosen Immortals who have a prominent role in this epic novel. Two of the groups of Immortals are Eagles and Falcons which are, on a side note, two of my favorite animals. In order to go against impossible odds the forces of (mostly) good must get over their differences and fight the ongoing battle against evil.This was an incredibly stunning read encompassing a delightful story and is definitely one I would suggest to anyone who loves the fantasy genre, or who wants to give it a try.
