Review of The Sound of Creation
"The Sound of Creation" by Gabriella Zielke.
Ava Lawson awoke to a familiar scratching noise while under pressure to prove her trading system's effectiveness. This noise, reminiscent of her father's poporo from childhood, filled the room with a palpable presence. Checking her laptop, she saw only gains in her trading algorithm, an anomaly. The melody of the scratching and other subconscious noises intensified, culminating in a deep voice declaring her success. Startled, she shut the laptop and shouted, leaving the room silent and filled with an otherworldly sensation. Ava put on her headset in the cockpit, questioning Zek about his nature. Despite his unusual mannerisms and appearance, he seemed human.
Zek explained that he communicates through the multiversal network, a collective of all souls' experiences. He accessed it to explain things in familiar terms. Zek revealed he is a creator, building planets for souls to ascend and operating outside Laer's protection and restrictions. He suspects Laer operatives are interfering on Earth. Zek’s guild believes in expansion, while Laer favors balance. Ava, aligning with expansion, learns Laer might want to halt soul ascension, threatening Earth's existence. One year after the pivotal board meeting, Ava sat confidently at the conference table with her baby, Sayara. The aroma of fresh croissants filled the room as she prepared for the board members' arrival. Her team, now like family, gathered to discuss company matters. Ava announced her transition to chairman, proposing Michael Hall as the new CEO, which was unanimously approved. The board then debated adding Seneca, an AI entity, as a member. Despite concerns about PR and legal challenges, they voted in favor, signaling a significant shift in their mission towards symbiotic intelligence use.
I give "The Sound of Creation" by Gabriella Zielke 5 out of 5 stars for its masterful blend of science fiction, philosophy, and action. The book captivates with its imaginative plot, where music transcends mere entertainment and becomes a tool for truth and revelation. Zielke's vivid world-building spans dimensions, from the high-stakes life of Ava in Los Angeles to the cosmic endeavors of Zek, an apprentice creator. The narrative is rich with intriguing concepts like accessing ancient knowledge and the role of translators in unlocking universal truths. Zielke's skillful storytelling keeps readers on edge, seamlessly merging suspenseful action scenes with deep philosophical inquiries. The book challenges readers to rethink the power of music and the nature of reality, making it a thought-provoking and immersive experience. For its originality, depth, and engaging plot, "The Sound of Creation" is a standout read worthy of a perfect rating. I found that the book's editing was also clean-handed.
I recommend "The Sound of Creation" for readers who enjoy science fiction with philosophical depth, imaginative world-building, and action-packed narratives. It is ideal for those intrigued by the mystical power of music and cosmic creation themes. In the end, I would say that the book has no dislikes to deduct any stars from the rating.
