This is a well-written fantasy/adventure about the regeneration of Earth. It could have been titled 'Everyone Dies In The End', because that's what happens.
I'm sure that there's lots of suffering involved in this, but not for the four main characters in this story because they are the chosen ones who gain enlightenment and therefore have a happy death.
The whole story is about these four characters and the process of their release from the bonds of materiality. They come to realise that they are not 'bodies with souls' but are 'souls with bodies'. Nice twist, right?
Because the characters are all fifteen, this book would suit a younger audience, but is also deep enough to satisfy older heads. The plot and structure are rather formulaic, but overall, the story is still well thought out and satisfying.
If I hadn't read the part at the back about the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University then I would not have twigged that the basis of this story is their teachings and so that's a bonus. It's good to find that it can stand on its own two proverbials.
Read this if you like books about the end-times that have a positive slant. Avoid it if ... Actually, don't avoid it. I think you'll enjoy it whoever you are.

Enjoyed this young adult spiritually oriented fantasy. The secrets are a way of understanding the Brahma Kumaris philosophy. Loved the international context, which I don't experience very often. Fun, scary and sad sometimes, and quite thought-provoking.

Interesting story, reflective of how new inspirations and experiences lead one to a new world, a new mindset
