"The Principles of Creation" is a non-fiction book written by Tejas Hiremani that brings together elements of philosophy, science, storytelling, and spirituality in order to explore some of life's most existential questions. It offers useful insights into self-help and personal development by outlining seven core principles that shape life.

The book begins by looking at these seven principles, then into the origins of emotions like love and hate, alongside concepts such as war, peace, and the quest for personal growth and self-actualization. It presents the present age as a pivotal moment, where humanity hangs on the edge of either technological and spiritual triumph or a decline into despair. Additionally, the book examines deeper concepts like consciousness, thoughts, God, and the soul, providing a holistic perspective on the human experience.

The author skillfully explores life at a fundamental level with basic needs like food, sleep, and reproduction—before expanding into more metaphysical and spiritual realms. The principles that were presented were logical, practical, and essential for today’s world. The author’s storytelling shines, particularly in the “Future” section, which is one of the book’s most intriguing parts. My favorite part without question was Dues ex Machina, which was a tale so compelling it could easily be fleshed out into a novel on its own. Overall, the book excels in connecting the universe to the human soul, offering very deep insights.

There are a few things I didn’t appreciate. The book desperately needs an introductory chapter; after the preliminary pages, it jumps straight into the first principle of creation. This could be a problem for casual readers who haven’t read the book's overview. This abrupt characteristic is also seen later in the book when moving from the "Past" and "Present" sections, which had a very self-help feel, to the " Future" section, which was a story. Additionally, the author’s writing style can be unclear at times, as he often chooses metaphorical language over simple and direct explanations.

I am inclined to remove just a single star because of the negative issues stated above, so I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. I recommend this book to lovers of philosophy and new-age books.

This review entirely agrees with what Mathew Tysz has done up to set into the literary composition sub-genre he has not only trained in but also is zealous about. This war chronicles author steps deeper within the political relations that he began sketching in the past books, the magic, the conflicts, and growth of her prose.

This is the first time since the last that Voulhire appears in the Sequence when Tysz is particularly interested in the creation of new weapons and military structures as well as devising new societal policies that will be efficient in fighting the war. The last parts of Chapter Two findes Galen as a familiar character that was introduced into the work A New Arrival under Great Skies who is already on his adventures encountering new threats and learning new aspects of the kingdoms magic and politics. The plot all through this book is getting hotter and heavier as the stakes keep getting higher for the characters people and what ethical choices they would make in extreme states.

A major plus of the book Tysz does not let defeat in-world construction seen in earlier parts of the series. Voulhire details becomes much more complex, the ‘Principles of Creation’ appending the position that is philosophical and metaphysical to the story. The attempt to explore the issue of creation as well as authority is certainly outstanding and as such, the drama that follows is equally gripping.

I love the idea of joining elements of philosophy, science, storytelling, and spirituality in a book, so delighted to read it.
