Review of The Sound of Creation
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Sound of Creation" by Gabriella Zielke.]
The multiverse that the Creators Guild constructed is the highest point in Gabriella Zielke's novel, The Sound of Creation. An ambitious apprentice starts working on a hitherto unimagined final creation endeavour. Like any truly great invention, his rise should be quick and certain, yet his endeavour is derailed. When faced with the prospect of having his work completely destroyed and himself discarded, he scrambles to identify and resolve the unidentified issue. What better way to accomplish it than by taking part in the entire event? After that, he goes down. The talented engineer Ava Lawson develops a system that is more sophisticated than she had imagined. Following this kind of revelation, she discovers that she is the object of unexpected attention. In an effort to comprehend the truth—the truth that is within each of us and that we all want to suppress—she must navigate through the turmoil with the help of her team. As the future of the multiverse hangs in the balance, go alongside Ava and her allies to uncover the secrets of her creation and learn its hidden truths.
There are numerous things to like in this book, but one that I particularly admire is its seamless read; the lack of typographical and grammatical errors is astounding. It was exceptionally edited. This was quite refreshing to me because the plot was explained clearly and without restrictions. It resembled a well-cooked bowl of rice. Now, onto the plot itself. While the book's general course was predictable, in that we all experience struggles where some falter and others fail, the details that make up the story are unpredictable. I couldn't foresee the flow's progression; in fact, the more I thought I knew what was coming next, the more it escaped me, as new factors emerged and threw me off just enough to keep me interested, which to me is the true mark of a good book.
There was not a single thing in this book that I found objectionable; in fact, I would want to talk a little bit more about the other aspects of it, like the humour that permeated its pages, because taking it too seriously would have detracted from its overall impression. This novel also gave me the chance to broaden and enhance my vocabulary because some of the characters had formal speech patterns.
As someone who isn't particularly fond of the science-fiction genre, this book was a pleasant surprise that proved hard but not overly complex; in other words, it was ideal. Reading this made me nostalgic for old favourites of mine (books and movies). I would suggest it to everyone, particularly young adults and mature intellectuals. I rate the book five out of five stars.
