Before this, I rarely read science fiction books. I even wondered if this book would be a good fit for me, but just the early parts caught my interest.
 
The book introduces the concept of a multiverse, where Zek becomes a god-like creator facing a dilemma: to destroy his own world or not.
 
This concept resonates with the Buddhist idea of a multiverse, where there are realms with beings of higher consciousness. As humans, we simply strive to do our best and trust the path we've chosen.
 
It's fascinating how the story unfolds through Ava's perspective, the creation who turns out to be descended from the guardian of truth. She runs her own company to create her masterpiece, which is actually the key to humanity's ascent to a higher realm.
 
I love the concept of Seneca, the magical music that can make people honestly express their thoughts and feelings. This might indirectly depict how humans often stray from the truth and are afraid to be vulnerable and genuine. People hide their thoughts, feelings, and truths from others, creating a distance between them. Seneca seems to be a bridge that helps people connect with one another. It would be fascinating if this could truly exist in the world.
 
For a sci-fi novel, the plot is tightly woven and compelling. It touches on various topics, from business, betrayal, and crime to unexpected romance between the Creator and his creation. In the end, the Creator grants Ava's deepest wish: her family.
 
This book is easy to read and has an amazing, flawless, and perfect editing.
 
I give this book a 5 out of 5 rating for its excellent storytelling, plot, and character development that always left me wondering about the continuation of the story. The world-building is well executed. From start to finish, I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. The ending is also satisfying and not cliffhanging, leaving a pleasant aftertaste for me. 
 
One downside might be the lack of explanations for some technical terms and business jargon used. It would be helpful to have footnotes for these terms to avoid confusion and enhance understanding for the reader.

Sci-fi books are known for their creativity, and their enjoyment often hinges on the intricate details and the writer's skill in captivating readers. This review of "Sound of Creation" appears to encompass all the elements that make a sci-fi novel engaging, and it has piqued my interest in the book.

I'm intrigued by your apparent change of heart regarding sci-fi books. It makes me curious to discover what aspects of "Sound of Creation" prompted this shift in perspective. The concept of Seneca, where people openly express their thoughts and feelings, sounds fascinating. It offers a glimpse into a world where honesty is valued above all else, and I'm eager to explore how this dynamic plays out in the story.

Overall, I found this review to be insightful. It has left me eager to dive into the world of The Sound of Creation.

I'm captivated by the way this book weaves together intricate themes of creation, morality, and consciousness within the framework of a multiverse. The author's exploration of Zek's dilemma as a god-like figure facing the choice of destroying his own world is both compelling and deeply philosophical.

This review beautifully captures the essence of the book's multilayered narrative, intertwining themes of creation, truth, and connection. The comparison to Buddhist concepts adds depth, and the exploration of Seneca's role as a catalyst for honesty is thought-provoking. The reviewer's enthusiasm for the storytelling, character development, and pacing is evident, making it a compelling recommendation for both sci-fi enthusiasts and newcomers to the genre. The constructive feedback regarding technical terms and jargon suggests avenues for improvement without overshadowing the overall praise.

I'm not usually one to read science fiction books. But I do like a good plot and a good read that makes one think on the existential level about their lives. And I believe this book explores that very well.
