- Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2024Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis is a review for the whole series, not just this book. There were typos and references to popular shows that were incorrect (not knowing the difference between Phineas and Ferb for example) and it wasn't the only reference like that. The story was ok. Didn't have as much "heat" as I normally like but it was spicy a few times. Some political over tones I didn't care for but it wasn't riddled with it, hard not to do given the military part of the story. It was good for a one time read.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2024Format: PaperbackThe Infinite Light of Dust is the conclusion of The Brightest Stars trilogy. It follows the story of Kael Martin, a soldier just coming back from deployment and getting discharged, and Karina Fischer, the daughter of an Army officer and best friend to his best friend’s wife. This is NOT a standalone. I would suggest reading the first two books back-to-back before this one, so you don’t lose the details. This book picks up immediately after the major revelation at the end of book 2. Karina and Kael have worked past the problems that initially plagued their relationship and are trying desperately to make it work now. They have an undeniable longing for each other but the world around them keeps throwing new things in the way. Although they have worked hard to build this new foundation, stress comes to an all-time high in this book. Secrets, omissions, family/friend drama, struggles with anxiety and PTSD, all come barreling together for these two. I have loved Kael and Karina’s romance from the beginning and couldn’t wait to get my hands on the conclusion to their story. But beyond their romance, I have also grown to care about so many other characters in this series along the way. They have all formed this broken, found family that cares about each other and is just trying to make it through their own struggles. I was a military wife myself so I could absolutely relate to the closeness you form with the families on base around you because sometimes all you have is each other. I really loved most of this book. I have been a fan of Anna Todd’s for a while now. I devoured the After books and Landon’s two companion novels. And I have followed this series from the beginning. It was well written and kept me on the edge of my seat. I will say I was surprised by the ending and left a little confused by it. I wanted another chapter or an epilogue to really feel complete with their story. You can make some assumptions moving forward but I was hoping for something a little more concrete. Maybe that is just me. I still enjoyed it and loved this series as a whole. Thank you Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group, Netgalley, and Anna Todd for a chance to read this ARC!!

3.0 out of 5 stars I needed more
I loved the trilogy and their characters, but this last book felt like it wasn't enough. A few storylines that were not developed or finished. I was waiting for this book for more than 1 tear and I can't say I had a "closure".
- OxanaReviewed in France on September 11, 2024
4.0 out of 5 stars Nice but not as good as before
I finished this trilogy and am a little disappointed. Because after reading the “AFTER” series which were fantastic, phenomenal and so much more, this series was quite “basic” for me, and often dull and boring 😐

2.0 out of 5 stars Not impressed
Potential spoiler below
-This book left me with so many questions and honestly I am disappointed.
After waiting for more than two years fir this book, I expected more. I don’t feel Anna Todd delivered on the level she used to.
I hate, hate, hate open ends and not having in writing how or if the relationship between Karina and Kael comes back to life- wanting to read about Mendoza and Gloria, Eloide and Austin. The end felt rushed and cut short
You can do so much better, Anna!

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth the read!
Although I love Anna Todd and her books I have been slightly disappointed by the ending of this one...I really wanted to know what the future held for karina and Kael :( I hope another book will be released to let us know! Did they or didn't they get married etc....
