C.S. Zahn's novel Sinkhole is a work of fiction and the first of a trilogy. Alecyn's house, a nurse's, is swallowed by a massive sinkhole. After going missing, many people thought she had passed away, but little did they know that she had been transferred to another realm where music is a magical force and there are many different sorts of monsters. She needs to figure out how to get back to herself after discovering herself on a foreign planet. The Silence, a strong entity, governed the new planet known as Jonrah. Alecyn makes a new buddy named Madeleine as she attempts to navigate this foreign world on her own. The two of them go through it together.

The narrative and tale held my attention from the beginning. Alecyn's house is swallowed by a sinkhole; why her? What role did she have in this new world? Reading this book was sparked by all of these questions. I was riveted to the novel the entire time, anticipating what would happen next because of the intriguing premise. There is treachery, murder, love, and otherworldly creatures in this novel. It fulfills every desire a reader may have for a work of fiction. The plot developed gradually as Alecyn and Madeleine escaped to safety from the Jonrah monarch, who was attempting to kidnap Alecyn. As the heroes make their way through both actual and metaphorical darkness, there is a tangible sense of suspense building with every page. Themes of survival, selflessness, and the brittle ties that bind us together in the face of difficulty are expertly explored by the author. 

This book's plot and characters were well-developed; therefore, I really enjoyed reading it. Though I eventually figured out who the characters were and what they were doing, I think the author might have done a better job of explaining some of the situations because I had trouble identifying some of the characters in the first place. I thought the author did a great job at the conclusion of the book by including a brief biography of each individual that was included. I truly enjoyed that.

I gave this book four out of five stars because, while it was thrilling and well-written overall, I did find a few mistakes in it. For those who appreciate fiction with thrilling experiences, I would suggest this book.

Despite the flaws you pointed out, this seems like an engaging story. The idea of a realm where there's a connection between music and magic is fascinating and its development, including the darkness and the characters, is intriguing. Thank you for your great review!
