I meant to post this in April, but my husband whisked me away to the high seas for a week and it threw off my groove. I can't complain though. Doesn't every woman want to be married to a pirate?
Or a dragon (drakon)?

| Time Weaver by Shana Abe |
Imagine if the hope of being able to fly lingered inside you, the ability to take the form of a winged serpent and conquer the skies. Imagine if that seed was not realized in you but in others of your kind. Then imagine that instead of flight you received a gift that can send you hurtling through time. This gift bestowed upon Honor Carlisle proves her blessing and her curse. This talent drew her back time and again to the same man, a prince among the enemies her people.
The story splits, twists, and turns to give the reader a peek into her psyche at every stage of her life. We see innocence driven away by love and loss, leaping through time to get hints of the end before the beginning has fully coalesced before us. The confusion that these leaps in time leave send us racing through to the next chapter, hoping to find answers. Shana Abe did wrap up the story in a way that made sense, but I feel there is much more to be told. Sadly, the local library only had this book in the series, so I shall have to move onto another book for next month. (But if you want to buy me other books in the series for Christmas in July, I won't be angry at you.)
Of course, one of the drawbacks to this book involved a song popping into my head every time I saw the cover. Guess which one.

That's right: Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver". I can write a whole post connecting the two if I get ten requests (or even three), but I won't bore you with unsolicited insanity from my mind...not yet anyway.
