The second instalment in the Triad of Being trilogy, this is a full-on, action-packed, mind-trip of a tale that grabbed me right away and took me on a rollercoaster ride across the boundaries of space, time and dimensions.
Combining such esoteric plot elements as mystical powers, genetically-engineered immortality, downloadable memories, teleportation, time travel, higher-dimensional beings, and a host of other amazing concepts into one coherent whole is a bit of a mission at the best of times, but to do it successfully for the second time in a row is a show of just how good Traci Harding is as an author.
I'm not 100% sure whether to classify this as fantasy or sci-fi, but I can certainly classify it as brilliant. The way Traci blended levels, or planes, or branes, or whatever, or reality and brought soul-fragments together was a little confusing, but the more I read, the easier it became to keep track and see how the various threads wove into a tapestry spanning all of creation's multiverse.
Overall, not for the faint of mind, this saga is shaping up to be a bit of a brain-pretzel maker. I can't wait for part 3!
