"Immortal Weaver" is a hard-to-put-down contemporary fantasy, based on Greek mythology, that grips the reader from the start.Set in Boston, the story revolves around young, intelligent Kathryn McDounough, who is working on a journalism internship at a regional newspaper. Her most important assignment is to interview a reclusive author about his new book on Greek mythology. During their first interview, Kathryn is surprised by the author's peculiar claims about having had visions that predict the end of the world, as well as other strange occurrences. The interview sets off a string of strange events, such as mysterious deaths, that compel Kathryn to investigate the author's claims.The author, Sophia Myers, has a talent for capturing mood with her writing, and there is a tone throughout "Immortal Weaver" that leaves the reader with a haunting feeling and wanting to find out more. Another one of Myers' strengths is her ability to pace the plot -- "Immortal Weaver" is fast-paced and never loses any speed.I'd recommend "Immortal Weaver" to anyone who likes fast-paced, fantasy-themed novels.
