Transmentation / Transgression: Or, a Spark on the Eve of the Five Hundred Year Burn: The Formation Saga, Book 2 by Darkly LemMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was provided an ARC of this book via Netgalley, all opinions are my own.
This follows a large cast of characters across the multiverse, which at times makes this hard to understand. Some of the characters hop bodies from their original body in their home word to other bodies across time and space to accomplish their job or a mission. It gets confusing at times as there are so many characters and plotlines to follow, but the book is very interesting and well written.
You cannot read this as a standalone, you need to read the 1st book as it sets up quite a bit of ground work for this book. This picks up where the 1st book leaves off with the understanding that you already know what is going on and who everyone is. I wish I had reread the 1st book prior to reading this to get reacquainted with the concepts and characters as it had been quite a while and I think it would have been beneficial to my understanding of the happenings in this book. I have a pretty good memory, but the concepts are very complex when it comes to the politics and multiverse, and a refresher would have made things a bit easier for me I think.
This is not an easy book to read, however I do this this book and the series as a whole is totally worth it if you like science fiction, fantasy, and multiverse type stories. This has political intrigue, interesting characters, and the various worlds are well crafted. I'm not sure if this is the end of the series or if there are more books, but I'm here for whatever the team of Darkly Lem comes out with next!
