Have you ever wondered if our universe is simply made of particles or if it is actually a dream woven by consciousness? This thought stayed with me when I read the book’s blurb, and it made me curious to explore the journey inside. I started reading this story one week ago. And it felt quite engaging, thus I am sharing my thoughts here. In science fiction stories exploring outwordly being and astronomy is my favourite. And this book matched thos thus it was an engaging read.
The story revolves around two characters mostly, Kairo and Elyra as they travel through time, meeting civilizations that shaped human thought. What I enjoyed really are the way myth and science are blended into one seamless narrative, the vivid descriptions of places like ancient Egypt, Vedic India, and Mayan lands alongside really creative illustrations of the extra terrestrial beings and the space were truly fascinating. The deep questions about existence and our place in the cosmos were thought provoking and the connection between memory, creation stories, and human identity were touched making it a good read. I also loved the cover art. Its truly eye catching. Such stories lets us explore the idea that there may be so many dimensions alongside various possibilities, right?
Now this story touches themes of spirituality, science, history, and human curiosity in a way that feels both rich and accessible. Each chapter carries the sense of stepping into a new world, while still holding on to the larger mystery binding it all together.
I got my copy from Amazon directly as a paperback, and it’s a wonderful pick for anyone who enjoys sci-fic adventures.
