A Review of "Between Two Minds: Revelation"




Introduction

Newly mind-migrated hero Ryan is back in the sequel to Between Two Minds: Awakening and ready to unravel the mysterious history of the origins of mind migration. I received a free .mobi file of this book in exchange for an honest review, and I can attest that Between Two Minds: Revelation by author D.C. Wright-Hammer is a pulse-quickening sci-fi ride that is every bit as thrilling as the first book in the series!

My Rating: ★★★★★

Synopsis: "Book One took readers' breath away. Book Two will blow your mind!

Ryan attempts to move on with life in his new body, but some things are easier said than done. When he stumbles upon a cryptic letter from the past, he becomes obsessed with learning the truth about Charlie's life and the mind migration procedure. But the more truth he unravels, the deeper the lies go.

Truth is a double-edged sword. Nothing is ever what it seems.

The true origins of mind migration are only known to the cursed individuals who had the misfortune of helping develop it. Follow Dr. Rex Martin as he pushes his abilities to the limit to birth the world's first 'neural transfer' and discovers the truth about himself and the corporation employing him. Put in a no-win situation, Dr. Martin must decide what's more important: his life and legacy or the lives of his lover and colleagues.

In book two of this psychological thriller series, the past, present, and future are on an unstoppable collision course and the fate of mankind hangs in the balance. Who will suffer the consequences of being between two minds?" (via Goodreads)


Thoughts and Comments

Pros

  • The novel has an excellent prologue that ties the reader into the novel straight from the first book in the series.
  • There are clever technological creations riddled throughout the novel that add to the worldbuilding and make the reader feel immersed in the futuristic realm with Ryan.
  • The author is fabulous at describing settings and landscapes.
  • The book included several satisfying nods to the first volume in the series--some were obvious, yes, but others were more subtle, and it was incredibly entertaining to try and find all of the references.
  • Although Between Two Minds: Revelation is a work of fiction, the intense scientific methods throughout the novel are completely believable, which is personally important to me in order for me to get through a sci-fi book. It is obvious that the author did his research when writing this!
  • Each character arc was just as well-developed in the sequel as they were in the first book, which I believe is more difficult to do in the second book in the series, as the reader is already familiar with multiple characters and their personalities. It was especially interesting to see the development of Dr. Martin and Dr. Campbell as they worked through the first stages of human mind migration.

Cons

  • There were some minor grammatical issues throughout the novel, but it wasn't enough to distract the reader from the story.
  • There were a few places where it seemed that the author was writing his personal political opinions into the novel, which I personally do not prefer in fiction novels of their own worlds, but as that is entirely the author's prerogative, this did not count against the book's rating.


Conclusion

The way the book ended made me secretly wonder if there was a possibility of a third novel in the series, and I can honestly say that I'm excited to find out. If you liked Between Two Minds: Awakening, then you will absolutely not be disappointed in Between Two Minds: Revelation! Mr. Wright-Hammer, I appreciate the opportunity to review your work! Thank you for letting me experience the next chapter in the world of mind migration!

An Introduction

Hello all! My name is Taylor and I review books. I am a twenty-year-old avid reader and writer living and attending university in Texas. Currently, I intern in both the marketing department and the submissions department of a small publishing company (and am loving every minute of it!). This is my first shot at a blog, and I'm excited for the opportunity. I read all kinds of books, but my favorite genre is New Adult. Coincidentally, that is also the genre of novels I'm the most inclined to write. I love elements of fantasy, science fiction, adventure, and historical fiction. I have just recently started to exchange copies of e-books from authors in exchange for an honest review on Amazon or Goodreads, and I thought that it would also be a good idea to make a blog dedicated to my reviews in order to keep track of the books I've read, enjoyed, and provided feedback on! For now, I foresee including both book reviews and helpful links concerning reading and things of a ...
