Publisher's summary

At the dawn of time, young Perl awakes at the base of the ancient Bodhi tree, the only source of the last remaining life-giving fruits of wisdom. She's met by a mysterious deity named Ohm, who eases her reawakening before hastily setting her on a path into the unknown, tasked with choosing twelve primitive beings to receive the blessing of self-awareness, so they can join Perl in her newfound godhood and help lay the foundations of civilization.

It’s was ok

I wanted to love it. Parts were cute and very interesting. I guess I’m not certain what the overall direction this is going. I think it would be a cool kids TV show. It’s a bit trippy. Baker did a great job narrating the story.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Slow and tiresome

Story was slow, predictable, and characters were not interesting. I think the author was trying to write an inspiring story, but failed. The story drags at times and whole mythos is garbled. Narration was tinny, sounded like it was done in a garage.

Gimmicky effects undercut the book

Interesting and ambitious ideas. I was very intrigued, but the constant use of gimmicky audio tricks made it nearly impossible to finish. I would rerecord entire book without the echoes and reverb. They completely undercut the book.
