eARC Provided by Author in exchange of honest and unbiased reviewThis is the fifth time I review one of Karen's books, and I'm always baffled by what to write. I even read my past reviews to see how to make this but I've no idea. This book, all of her books, are just something beyond words.This book, gosh this book really leaves something in you, a bittersweet mixture between pounding at a wall with fury, cry like a baby in your pillow, or jump and scream of happiness.I wrote that on my review of Grasping at Eternity. This book, Fighting for Infinity, takes every little question or doubt you had in the two previous books and answers them. This book was one heck of a ride I am sad to have ended, but will gladly take again and again and again. The Kindrily has become such a big part of my life as a reader and blogger. It was one of the first books I read of Indie Authors, I became great friends with the author, and meet so many more people through it.Anything I say of this book is a spoiler. This book screams spoilers. It starts right on after Taking Back Forever with that horrible, horrible cliffhanger Karen left us with. Maryah has to find a way to end with Dedrick's evil plans by remembering what was once erased by her in her previous life. And *BEEP* and *BEEP* and *BEEEEEEP* .I had to stop several times because I couldn't bring myself to keep reading. I wanted to know what would happen next but at the same time felt conflicted if I wanted to know.There's plenty of romantic moments and swoony ones, but this book centers more in the themes of sacrifice and to fight for what you believe. It takes the family concept deeper than before when the whole Kindrily unites as one to fight for, literally, infinity.  As my co-blogger Marianne mentioned in her review, Karen makes us believe in the true power of love with this book. It takes soul mates and the whole Universe concept in a new way I've never seen in other books.Also, I don't know if anyone here knows, but I detest when people say that Indie Authors don't write good fiction compared to published ones. Both go through the same writing process, and the rest is different. And you know what? Books like the ones Karen writes are the ones you use in arguments in whether Indies are good or not. It frustrates me so much how there can be so many people in the world that don't know of her amazing works! It makes me want to devise a plan where I contact a big publisher or producer so that they make a big campaign for more people globally can read Karen's books. But then I have this jealousy hit me where I want to have the books all for myself...And speaking of movies and cool stuff... I had a fangirl moment here when the other series Karen has collides with the Kindrily. I cried as if someone had died when I barely read a SINGLE NAME.It was unexpected and took me by surprise, but it was warmly welcomed. It made complete sense to what was happening in the Kindrily and also arose new questions about the Sea Monster Memoirs world. Anyone who has read that series will greatly appreciate what Karen did here.Like her previous books, all the characters have great dynamics between each other and support the plot greatly. I specially love how each of them has a personality that resonates through the pages and makes you feel like you're reading something real and that's happening in the real world. It probably does in a parallel universe I have the misfortune of not living in with the Kindrily. Lucky for Maryah though, because I'd steal her Nathan :}The settings of the story were greatly described and easy to imagine. It gave it a mysterious and malevolent feel to it.As always, everything here works in accord to even the tinniest detail. Karen is among one of my top favorite authors and a person I look up to very much. A year knowing her and I still can't help fangirl whenever we talk. She's such a nice person, kind-hearted, gifted with great power over words, friendly, generous, any positive word you find is her. She's probably become bored of the times I've said this.In overall, read this book. Read the series. Friend Karen. Fall in love with her very imaginative worlds full of love, action, tragedy, but mostly that very, very anticipated happily ever after we all ached for from page one.Rating: All the stars in the whole universe.Review by Jennifer Madero
