Broken Realms #2
Broken Souls
The spirit of a dead man goes viral. He comes from a realm where the souls—not the bodies—of the departed are interred. Left unattended, his lost spirit spreads like a disease, possessing dozens of people, seeking to fulfill an ancient prophecy—to become one with Mara Lantern and initiate a metaphysical apocalypse that would change the very nature of reality. -------- Join Mara Lantern and her companions in a seven-volume science fiction adventure through reality, time and space, where they encounter everything from steampunk dream worlds to artificial humans, from dragons to disembodied spirits, where metaphysics is science and magic is just one belief from coming true.

Anyway, I’m a former newspaper journalist and technology manager who lives in Portland, Oregon. I am taking a couple of years off to try my hand at writing fiction. It’s okay if you raise an eyebrow at that. Most of the people I know do.

There were so many good ideas in this book. There are good ideas throughout the entire series, but it all devolved into typical YA nonsense with snarky teenagers. Why do so many authors insist on ruining every decent idea by turning it into more ridiculous YA fiction. It's so frustrating.

Where the first book in serious had a rushed ending, this one gifted us a rollercoaster of a cliff hanger and I'm itching for more

Great Book!
I really enjoyed reading this book. Very interesting and creative and I love the characters. This series just keeps getting better.

I read this book immediately after reading the first book & I loved it even more than the first book! I loved the simplicity of the explanations for things that happen, I love the 'duh!' moments. I love the creepy infection, I love the other Mara we meet. There is just so much I loved in this book! I really hope at some point we get to go back to the Mara with armadillo/pig named Ginger! I liked how there are so many different realms with so many different possibilities. I loved Ping! I want more!

First off, I did not read the first book in the series, which put me at a bit of a disadvantage with back-stories and character development. That being said I found the writing easy to follow and smooth flowing. I enjoyed the fantastical elements of the tale (such as the dragons and giant lizards) but wasn't a big fan of the characters and their interactions with each other (fell a bit flat for me.)

I liked books 1 and 2. Would have liked to see the detective more involved in the story. Why was he dropped? A simply told story with some explanation of events. I would like to see it written more concisely.

Funny and odd
A strange mix of mythos. Magic and science.
I suspect the end that is coming but I will be along for the ride.

Absolutely amazing! I am a believer of the metaphysical world and it's amazing how the author has brought this all together!
