Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Invision is the seventh book in the Chronicles of Nick series. Invision takes place not long after the events of Infinity, although the approximate time is never specified. After claiming the Eye of Ananke, restoring his full Malachai, and choosing his ušumgallu from a listed of powerful and trusted friends, one would think Nick’s woes would be over. Sadly, that isn’t the case for this kind-hearted demon. In this new installment, Nick is plagued by confusing and depressing visions of both the future and the past, as well as new and old enemies stalking him.
After claiming the Eye of Ananke, Nick is a mess. While he was aware that he was destined to bring the apocalypse, he always hoped he could find a way to alter his destiny. Sadly, the Eye of Ananke has convinced him that all is hopeless. The many visions he witnesses throughout the book sends on a series of panic attacks and self-harming thoughts. It is really strange and saddening to see such a stubborn character reach a point low enough where he contemplates suicide. Thankfully, he still has his lovable friends to attempt to keep him from doing stupid things. He also keeps his sharp tongue and endless amounts of sarcasm to help lift the mood when something is going horribly wrong,
Invision does not disappoint. Going into Invision, I was expecting one of two outcomes. One: the book would be absolutely amazing and I would reread it constantly. Two: the book would sadly be disappointing. Thankfully, it was the first option. The book was well-paced and never slowed down. It kept your interest throughout the entire book, making it one of those stories that you’ll try to read in one sitting. When the situation of our characters wasn’t getting horribly worse, the book kept you laughing with endless sarcastic comments from everyone. There is no end to the third-degree burns and verbal abuse these characters give and receive. It was hilarious to read. This book wasn’t entirely amazing. There were some unexpected additions to that made it feel like we were missing an entire book or novella. As we’ve come to expect in Chronicles of Nick books, the stories don’t flow seamlessly together and the transitions are extremely choppy. Maybe the books would flow better if I had bothered to read Sherrilyn Kenyon’s other books. Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunters series is for a much older audience and contains graphic sexual content. Aside from the choppiness, the endless amount of characters continues to grow. Many of the characters have complicated genealogies and I wish good luck to anyone who tries to map it out. Because of the multitude of characters, many are blending together. Each one is complex and deep, but many stories blend together as they are all about love and betrayal. On another note, this book is oddly written for a book in this series. It acted like a filler, providing information and hype, but not the clear plot that previous installments had. FYI, this isn’t the last book in the series so, you should know what kind of ending to expect. I give this 385 page book 4.5 stars.
