Clearly...I loved this book! Volume 2 please!

The GOD Maps worked absolutely great as a standalone, please do not listen to The GOD Maps without reading the book first because so much clarity is printed on the pages. Kendall takes the time to painstakingly build a realistic foundation to support the Universe on. Her excellently crafted foundation planted seeds necessary to expand her universe even further. I really don’t want to spoil anything from the book so I’ll refrain from talking about the main plot and I’ll keep this review as concise and helpful as possible.

Her story is told with a multi-styled platform. Meaning that the feel of the book changes as you go along, eventually converging wonderfully closer to the end of the book. The story is mostly framed in a third-person past-tense narration, and does bob and weave with the Present time frame that is being told in the third-person present tense. The two timelines complement each other greatly in telling a thought-provoking story about science, discovery, and religious beliefs.

I’ve read a lot of Science Fiction books and The GOD Maps stands among some of the most original novels about human expectations beyond the flesh. In this way, it was something that I truly appreciated and I loved reading the detailed exposition of how the events unfolded. As much as I loved how smartly crafted this book was, the heavy emphasis on science and innovation did slow down the pacing a bit at a few points of the book.

The author did a good job of trying to balance information with dialogue and action. The pacing worked for me once I discovered that this book is meant to be more thought compelling than explosions and car chases. The world-building was stunning. Once again, I’m amazed by Kendall’s creativity and intricacy in creating this sci-fi series that’s well-researched and believable. Admittedly, I did read the book before hand. Personally I think it gave so much more than the audiobook. Even in that, the conclusion ‘WOWED’ me both times! When you reach the end, the impact shakes you every time! Believe me, I know this novel will be a hit for you.

Overall, The GOD Maps is a great read/listen. I still think that this is a must-read for anyone fond of unique takes on the afterlife, Heaven and Hell. It feels good to read a sci-fi story that’s incredibly inventive and audacious in its theme but not lacking in intrigue; that’s exactly what’s being provided with this first offering.
