Review Detail

Something has happened and the Web of Time is unraveling as a result of humans and their decisions. It's disturbing the gods and goddesses while changing and erasing history as we know it. Things change when Jack bumps into Anna and it's up to them to make things right, but they have their own emotions getting in the way. They will also encounter different gods and goddesses along the way who will challenge them and use them to help fix everything.

THE WEB OF TIME is a clean ya magical realism story rich with themes of time, fate, the power of language, and history. Flavia Brunetti's writing is enchanting and celebrates language as being more than just words. Weaving together Mediterranean history with fate, Flavia Brunetti opens the reader's eyes to how language is so much more than what we say. It's also what we physically and emotionally express. The only real complaint I have is that the story was a bit jumpy with all of the POV and time changes. I love the development and friendship of our MCs: Anna and Jack. The world-building is rich with all of the different gods and goddesses. The twist with Pietro was intriguing as well.


Final Verdict: I would recommend this to fans of ya friendship, fantasy, time travel (I use this one loosely because it bounces between times), magical realism, and history. The POV changes make it seem very fast-paced and it's easy to consume in 1-2 sittings.
