I read this book rather quickly, and that's usually a good sign. I didn't like the beginning, just because I hate Ringer (I still do, not too much anymore though) but the middle of the book was fantastic. I loved every single bit. Rick has such a great and unique writing-style, I am really looking forward to the next book in the series. 4.5/5 ★
it wasn't as good as the first book in the series, but the middle of a story is rarely the best part. It was still good, for the most part. And Evan, Cassie, Zombie & Sam, even Dumbo and Poundcake, took me back onto that fantastic rollercoaster ride of emotions the first book left me on. Who I really couldn't care less about, was/is Ringer. Her point of view in the beginning didn't bother me much, but when I got to the last hundred pages and realized it was all going to be just her, I almost put the book down. She's a blank spot for me, a girl I can't and don't want to understand. A girl with not enough character for me to care. So I speed read through those pages, and in case you are wondering, like I did, if it is important to read her POV: it somewhat is. Not much happens, but you will understand better. Not her, that seems to be an impossible task for everyone, but the aliens, what they want, who they are, how everything works. Information that might come in handy in the 3rd book, I hope. So yeah, overall the book would have been a solid 4 stars, it was an okay 2nd book in a series. But Ringers POV killed it for me... I will read the 3rd book, I'm just going to be less excited about it. Hopefully, it will surprise me.

Vielleicht liegt es daran, dass mir der Anschluss fehlte und ich besser vorher den ersten Teil noch einmal gelesen hätte, aber in The Infinite Sea habe ich einfach nicht reingefunden. Bis mal ein Name genannt wurde, wusste ich anfangs oft nicht, wer eigentlich gerade der Ich-Erzähler ist. Ringer und Cassie unterscheiden sich in dieser Hinsicht so gar nicht, anhand des Erzähltons lässt sich nicht erkennen, um wen es sich handelt. Die Geschichte fließt dahin, ohne so wirklich ins Laufen zu kommen, viel passiert, ohne dass wirklich etwas passiert. Die "überraschenden" Wendungen nahmen mich nicht mit und auch der Tod eines Charakters enlockte mir nicht mehr als ein "Hmja". Allgemein sind alle Personen ziemlich farblos und der Versuch, ihnen eine Hintergrundgeschichte zu geben, bleibt nicht mehr als genau das: Ein Versuch. Wie ein Kind, das die Kontur in einem Malbuch auskritzelt, aber dabei nicht daran denkt, die Farbe zu wechseln. Leider ist hier mal wieder genau das passiert, was ich mir oft denke: Die Idee hinter allem ist interessant und gut, die Umsetzung kann aber nichts.
The story shifted in a direction I didn‘t really like. Too many different perspectives. Ringer is the typical „know it all“ and feels special because she can shove her emotions away and talks down to Cassie because … yeah why? Her arrogant attitude made me dislike her pretty much. Furthermore she somehow is an expert when it comes to alien invasions? She seems to know everything that needs to be done and her relationship to Voss is strange. What‘s his interest in some random girl? It doesn‘t make sense to me. Maybe I just didn‘t get the book because I heard it as an audio instead of reading it. After the first book that I couldn‘t get enough of, this second disappointed me to no end. I hoped we would continue with Evan and Cassie more than switching to the other characters. The atmosphere was just right but maybe that‘s due to the mystery the aliens portray.
First of all: I hated reading from ringers pov. What happened to cassie? Everything likeable about her seemed to have disappeared for some passages. And the connection between sam/nugget and her is ... gone(!). It felt to me like Rick Yancey suddenly fell a bit for ringer and wanted to give readers a reason why he had to switch the main character. I was also hoping for some more Ben Parish in this book. He seemed a little bit forgotten. Hoping for some more cassie in the last book (and perhaps a little less evan and ringer)
