The Sound of Creation by Gabrielle Zielke is a tight-knit marriage between science and spirituality, technology and ascendance. Ava Lawson is the CEO of Sense Labs and she has designed Seneca, a truth-revealing program. Before she can fully discover the enormity of her creation, a betrayal sends her fleeing to her old home. There, she meets Zek, an interdimensional being who has come for the final intervention of the very planet he has created, Earth, in the hopes of saving it. He reveals, in time, that Ava and her creation are the keys to bridging conscious understanding of order and chaos. Her revelations just may bring balance to the upper dimensions and keep Earth from being destroyed.

From the board room meeting to the dethroning of the Shadow Realm, The Sound of Creation is a wild ride. A thriller wrapped in science-fiction, Zielke delivers. An interesting cast of characters decorate the pages, gluing all the pieces together. This includes the elusive Rhonda and the passionate Nathan. Ava herself is nuanced, on the run all while wrestling with truth, family, and feelings. The heat between her and Zek simmered well between bits of heart-pounding excitement, however, the romance did take a backseat to the story. While this left it a little undeveloped, it was perfect for the atmosphere of the book and didn’t behave as a speedbump. Considering this, the book is not recommended for anyone seeking a blushing romance, but instead someone who views its addition as a delightful additive to the main story.

Despite romance and thrill, the book is still science-fiction at its very core, and it shows. With the science of Seneca, interdimensional shenanigans, and warring philosophies on ascendance, the lingo can be dense at times. The conversations between the upper interdimensional beings can be perplexing initially, until they are later explained through Zek. Exactly what Seneca does is also confusing at first and how it uses sound through nature, however, Zielke explains most things several times, making it easier to understand. This may be the only possible negative aspect of the book, but surely will not turn away most avid sci-fi readers.

Overall, The Sound of Creation is a good book. I was so pleased with Ava’s adventure, from start to finish. The read was clean, the pace was quick, and there were hardly any slow lulls. This book is professionally edited, with only one error I’d found. Everything considered, I would rate this 5 out of 5 stars. It truly was a great read, with well-rounded, likable characters and an engaging story.

Keeping in mind the dense terminology, I would recommend this book to those who enjoy science-fiction, especially melded with philosophy regarding the origin of Earth and where we go from there. As well, anyone who theorizes about the greater expanse of dimensions.

I found Ava and Zek interesting in this book. However, the language used was a bit difficult. Thanks for your wonderful review!
