Following a divorce that led to the loss of her children, Dr. Lawson became heavily committed to her scientific career, culminating in her discovering the quantum realm. The quantum realm defies existing physical laws, requiring fundamental changes to human perceptions of space, time, and consciousness. Because the quantum realm proved too challenging for one person to unravel, Dr Lawson assembled a team of theoretical and experimental physicists, philosophers, and adventurers, collectively called quantum explorers, tasked with journeying to the quantum realm and unravelling its underpinnings. The quantum realm proved to be much more complex than the quantum explorers might have estimated; it appears to be a universe on its own, housing some of the most exotic and occasionally hostile creatures known to man. Will the Quantum Explorers be successful in their mission, and what will be the implications for humanity? Find out in Fractured Realms by Malik Raji.

What I like the most about this book is the relevancy of its theme, quantum mechanics. This book covers all the hot topics in quantum mechanics, such as quantum entanglement and quantum computing. The content of this book is not limited to what is foreseeably achievable in quantum mechanics, such as quantum computers, but also covers borderline utopic concepts, like a world built on fully entangled human consciousness, where each human acts in the interest and benefit of the collective wellbeing.

Much of this book contains trite themes and words, making the story unnecessarily long. This story was initially engaging and promised many intriguing adventures but settled into an unending regurgitation and paraphrasing of themes covered in the first few chapters, such as the interconnectedness and harmony of the quantum realm. Although the author tried to keep the narrative engaging by using many descriptives and metaphors, the story eventually became deadening, even though it was reasonably paced.

The author failed to create engaging, developed, and relatable characters. The personal struggles of Dr Lawson made me care for her, but her resilient personality and humanity faded into the emotionless character set called the Quant Explorers. Like many other characters in this story, the Quant Explorers or the Guardians of Balance were unrelatable or stoic; I did not care if they succeeded or failed in their missions.

I rate this book three stars out of five. I loved the author’s take on quantum mechanics and how it could shape a better world. I deducted one star for the redundancy of a handful of themes throughout the book and another for the insufficient character development. This book contains a few typographical errors but no sexual, profane, or violent content. I recommend this book to readers of all religions.

Fractured Realms" by Malik Raji is a mesmerizing journey into the enigmatic world of quantum mechanics, where the boundaries of science and consciousness blur. The book's exploration of quantum phenomena, from entanglement to computing, is not only cutting-edge but also delves into the realm of speculative possibilities, where the intertwining of human consciousness for the collective good takes center stage. Raji's ability to delve into the frontiers of science and philosophy is a testament to the depth and relevance of the book's theme.

This book sounds like it had a lot of potential that just wasn't quite fleshed out. The plot did capture my attention. The nebulous of "quantum anything" is always something I'm up for exploring. I like that the main character isn't just a genius that understands all this and has to actually form a team of experts. The idea of a world built on human consciousness acting as a collective wellbeing had me immediately thinking of the "Borg" - haha! I appreciate your honesty in what didn't work for you. For readers who really need that character development, it will be much valued feedback that can save them some time and energy! I enjoyed reading your review, thanks so much for sharing it with us!
