The Time Weaver by Shana Abe – a Review

 

Once again, Shana Abe delights her readers with the latest installment to the mesmerizing Drakon series; The Time Weaver. The pulse pounding addition to a wholly original, fascinating story arc unlike any other in literature. Abe is one of only two authors that I have been lucky enough to discover, that writes in such a phonetic, lyrical quality. The ebb and flow to her words transports readers fully into the glittering, hypnotic, and savagely beautiful world of the Drakon.

Time Weaver is the harrowing story of Prince Sandu of Zaharen Yce, and Honor Carlisle of Darkfrith. Two spectacularly gifted beings–even amongst their own kind. A journey that began in the fourth book Treasure Keeper…with a young girl who disappears under mysterious circumstance, without a single trace, and of whom is never to be seen again….or so we thought. What actually occurred was unforeseen. Those truly responsible is shockingly unexpected, and the girl herself is beyond anything contrived of in dreams…or conjured up by nightmares.

This is the culmination of two people from rivaling tribes falling in love. The lengths of which those thirsting for power would travel–while locked within a primal, brutal struggle for dominance. Is destiny truly set in stone, or is it something that can be chosen? Is the future previously determined, or what one can make of it? The answers will be found by a young Drakon female who can weave time into anything she wishes…only to discover that the consequences of such altering, are more dire than could ever be fathomed. Honor will realize that even time has a limit…and that it is running out for she, and for all those she loves.


The only force powerful enough to stop the impending cataclysm, rests with three people unaffected by such an entity as time. Amalia Langford–daughter to the Alpha Drakon’s of Darkfrith. A woman who see’s the future, and who has risked everything to save Honor’s life. A “ghost” by the name of Rez, who is connected to Honor in a way readers will never see coming. And Zane–Amalia’s mortal husband. Honed in the unforgiving streets of London, and as lethal as any of the Drakon race who despise him. A man who would do anything to protect the only light to be found within his dark existence. Even if safeguarding that light…means it will never again choose to shine upon him.

The Time Weaver showcases more suspense, intrigue, and plot twists than any other previous novel. The intricacies, and subtle nuances of this complex, multi-layered story, make it my most favorite since the glorious first two installments, which began this series. I do not know how much higher Shana Abe could possibly take us, but I anxiously look forward to finding out with her next release; The Sweetest Dark.

  4. Miranda, I rushed out this morning and swore I posted a comment. Now I see I either forgot, or it got lost. I vote for the last one, as the first might mean I’m losing my mind. lol

    Anyway, this was a fantastic review. I always love your reviews. and how much you express yourself. Wonderfully done.

  5. Glad you like the review Vickie, cuz its mine. *laughing* I take that as a compliment that you thought Ms. Barb wrote it, as she writes amazing reviews. 🙂

    Thank you so much Sandy and Mary Ann. I agree Sandy, I love me some Dragons. This series reads like a well written Fantasy. It has humor, yet none of the Cheese that I have read in some other work featuring Dragons. Not that we all dont love some good cheese every now and again.

    • I hope you do Mari. If you like to read wholly original work, instead of the mainstream Vampires, and Werewolves, this is a great series to try. Not only the Drakon, but I have read many of Shana’s single titles as well, and they are superb. I adore romantic fantasy, and there just isnt enouh authors that are of this genre.

    • Thanks Alicia, I did very much enjoy this series. The lyricism, and flow of the words is mesmerizing. Same with Lynn Kurland’s Nine Kingdoms series–although The Drakon series is not quite as Old World.

      I would recommend people read either series, if only to experience the amazing, and rare writing style.

    • lmao Fran. geez, vickie did the same thing. I just posted it for Miranda. I usually do, maybe its because I did the Smoke Thief review. This one belongs to Miranda. 🙂

  9. Wonderful review Miranda. I have read all of the Drakon series except for this book. Thanks for piquing (is this a word?) my interest in this great series again!

    • Hi Lovanda. I tried to capture the intrigue of Zane in only a few sentences. I am glad I succeeded for you. Zane is my favorite male character of the series. I fell in love with his character when he was just a “street urchin” In the SmokeThief.

      Rez…..well…..you will just have to wait and see how you feel about her once you learn who…or what she is. 😉 I hope you enjoy this wonderful series.

  13. I love this series, and Miranda your review was great. Thank you. I enjoy coming here to discover some great new books to read, and to meet some of my favorites like Shana.
