Editorial Book Review:

By CL Turner

Some stories grab you with spectacle. The Breaking of Time grabs you with a single impossible moment and never loosens its grip. What makes this book stand out is how quickly the extraordinary collides with the everyday. Centuries of latent power are revealed after a father saves his child, and the story moves forward with fervor and urgency.

This book is tense and personal to read. You feel sad, scared, and grateful when you see time bend, and you also get a rush of adrenaline. As Daniel's secret life comes out, the reader is interested in how the decisions he makes affect him. As the magic is used, different things happen that make things more interesting. They are interesting because they seem like they will happen and there is a lot at stake.

At its core, the book explores control, responsibility, and the cost of power. Themes of identity and belonging run alongside the question of how far someone will go to protect the people they love. These ideas resonate well beyond fantasy. They depict actual conflicts between duty and desire, risk and safety, and change and stillness.

J. J.'s writing is incisive and dramatic, with a pacing that seldom allows the narrative to stall. The structure strikes a balance between quieter, character-developing moments and action. He is especially adept at using time as a threat and a tool. In scenes where Daniel's surroundings freeze, silence is transformed into something sinister and dangerous. These are shocking and unnerving scenes.

Two things that stick with you are realizing that stopping time leaves a growing void and that every rescue leaves a mark. As a constant reminder that authority is always accompanied by observers, the Arvynth themselves radiate discipline and menace.

The Breaking of Time is both an exciting fantasy story and a story about the choices we make that make us who we are. This book is fun to read for people who like high stakes, emotional depth, and a world where anything can happen at any time.
