If you are a fan of Richard Farr's works, you'll need to get your hands on the conclusion to his "Babel Trilogy".

"Infinity's Illusion" was a fitting end to the trilogy but it left me wanting for more. At times it felt overtly drawn out, and yet I still was left yearning for there to be more content. It feels a bit rushed in the end just to give the series some closure. Readers are left in the dark about the fates of many characters and only are graced with the knowledge about a select handful and how they ended up.

I loved the first two books and jumped at the opportunity to read the conclusion, yet it left me feeling incomplete in the end.

A copy of the book was provided by the publisher in return for an honest review.

I really loved the first book in the series (The Fire Seekers) while the second book (Ghosts in the Machine) annoyed me with Morag's narration. We get Daniel back as our narrator but I found myself being quiet bored during this book. Nothing really happens for the first 20% and the other 80% was just okay. The concepts and ideas are really what drew me to this series and I read the notes at the end of this book with great anticipation (like I have with the other books). I wish the ending gave us more closure too - it ended quite abruptly IMO.

Daniel and his sister Morag have survived their meeting with the Architects, but their life is nowhere near to settled down. They have recently been attacked by an unknown group and must use their ancient mathematics to discover a way out. Will the Anabasis truly unleash what the Babel myth predicted? Will the human race survive what the Architects put in place?

Infinity’s Illusion is the final book in The Babel Trilogy. Readers truly must read the first two books in order to fully understand this mathematically and linguistically complex tale. I am satisfied with how the story concluded and am also glad that Farr did not take the story further. This trilogy was the right length to unravel many myths and legends, while still taking the reader on a literary adventure. Infinity’s Illusion is a good ending to the trilogy, yet the series will appeal to a limited sci-fi group of readers.

I've read the first and second books in the trilogy so I wanted to see it through and finish the story. This isn't a book you can read without having read the other two; none of the books are standalones at all, just so you know.

I liked the previous two well enough (as far as fairly nutty sci-fi conspiracy YA fiction goes), but this last one felt terribly rushed, particularly toward the end. Farr had introduced so many conspiracies and favourite ancient alien tropes that it must've been just impossible to resolve it all by the end, and it does feel like he just gave up a little beat and settled for a few character beats. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but once the Morag-Kit story had been resolved in the second book, there weren't too many character beats left to actually address. So it all just dissolved a little bit. But at the same time, if you've read and enjoyed the first two, there's no reason why you wouldn't spend a few quite pleasant hours finishing the story here.
