The Web of Time

By Flavia Brunetti

Far beneath the ground, a web quietly spins.The threads are keeping time, marking history. What's done is done. Until now.

Protected by the gods and powering the three Great Portals of Kindness, Art, and Language, The Web of Time re-arranges itself as humans change their minds, fall in love, or cause empires to rise and fall. When the Great Portals close from the world, time begins erasing itself, histories start to disappear, Earth falls into chaos, and the gods don't know how to stop it-until Jack meets Anna.

Anna is a passionate and solitary writer who is protected by her companion, Nafusa of Libya, the cat god. When Jack, a young painter harboring a traumatic past, falls through the Great Portal of Art in Tunis, he stumbles into Anna, and his fate.

Helped and hindered by a rotating cast of deities, the two embark on a journey that connects three ancient cities in different times: Rome, Tunis, and Tripoli. They realize that it is Anna's gift for healing words and Jack's natural talent for drawing places as they were that can reinstate the Great Portals and restore the world's balance, but some of the darker gods who thrive on chaos will stop at nothing to derail their quest. As time tears faster than they can heal it, Anna and Jack must come together in time to save history, and the possibility of a future.

The Web of Time

The Web of Time is my first introduction to the works of writer, Flavia Brunetti. Even though I am not a huge fan of the fantasy genre, I thought it was a pretty good read. It is a great example of why going outside my norm and trying something new. I am so glad I chose not to miss out on this one. I was quickly captivated with Anna and Jack's story. These two teens embark on a journey of friendship, history, adventure, and healing. I enjoyed travelling all over, past and present, with the two and seeing what they would endure from scene to scene. I found it to be a fun and entertaining story to follow. It was easy for me to read it all in one sitting. I thought it was a perfect way to spend on a rainy and cold spring day. I am going to give The Web of Time a very well deserved five plus stars. I believe fans of clean young adult fantasy fiction will not want to miss out on reading it. I highly recommend it. I would be interested in reading more releases from the talented author, Flavia Brunetti, in the future to see where else their imagination will take their characters to next. They have definitely earned themselves a new fan with me. I received a digital copy of Flavia Brunetti's The Web of Time from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
