I really enjoyed this book. I was lost thru some parts with all the primary continuum, time sense, unstable probability determinates mumbo jumbo. Once I got past that I got into it and couldn't wait to see what would happen next. I think this could be turned into a movie and be the next big blockbuster. Bet ya a rabbits foot on it? (If you read the book you'll get that reference :) ) ( )

G.L. Breedon’s THE WIZARD OF TIME swirls magical realism throughout time and space.

The day Gabriel Salvador dies is the day he finds his place within the world. Gabriel is a Time Mage, but he’s more special than any of them realize. He and his group of mages travel throughout time to stop the evil wizards who want to destroy the Primary Continuum. When he realizes he’s a part of a prophecy, he must find balance between the light and dark, or lose himself for all time.

THE WIZARD OF TIME’s greatest strength is in its characters. Each one is a three-dimensional individual living their lives in many shades of gray. I love the camaraderie between friends. Six magics are used that are familiar but Breedon takes them to a higher level. Although the beginning starts out a bit cliché, Breedon sucked me into Gabriel’s world. The plot is sometimes a bit predictable but enjoyable. I love the history and cultures interspersed throughout. The Malignancy Mages are fantastically complicated villains. This novel explores the philosophical musings of light and dark, good and evil. The time travel scenes are awesome and well-thought out.

THE WIZARD OF TIME by G.L. Breedon is a wonderful fantasy novel geared towards young adults but a great read for all. I can’t wait to read book two. ( )
