Review of The Sound of Creation
Posted: 25 Apr 2024, 08:45
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Sound of Creation" by Gabriella Zielke.]
Before this, I rarely read science fiction books. I even wondered if this book would be a good fit for me, but just the early parts caught my interest.
The book introduces the concept of a multiverse, where Zek becomes a god-like creator facing a dilemma: to destroy his own world or not.
This concept resonates with the Buddhist idea of a multiverse, where there are realms with beings of higher consciousness. As humans, we simply strive to do our best and trust the path we've chosen.
It's fascinating how the story unfolds through Ava's perspective, the creation who turns out to be descended from the guardian of truth. She runs her own company to create her masterpiece, which is actually the key to humanity's ascent to a higher realm.
I love the concept of Seneca, the magical music that can make people honestly express their thoughts and feelings. This might indirectly depict how humans often stray from the truth and are afraid to be vulnerable and genuine. People hide their thoughts, feelings, and truths from others, creating a distance between them. Seneca seems to be a bridge that helps people connect with one another. It would be fascinating if this could truly exist in the world.
For a sci-fi novel, the plot is tightly woven and compelling. It touches on various topics, from business, betrayal, and crime to unexpected romance between the Creator and his creation. In the end, the Creator grants Ava's deepest wish: her family.
This book is easy to read and has an amazing, flawless, and perfect editing.
I give this book a 5 out of 5 rating for its excellent storytelling, plot, and character development that always left me wondering about the continuation of the story. The world-building is well executed. From start to finish, I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. The ending is also satisfying and not cliffhanging, leaving a pleasant aftertaste for me.
One downside might be the lack of explanations for some technical terms and business jargon used. It would be helpful to have footnotes for these terms to avoid confusion and enhance understanding for the reader.
