Publisher's summary

Perfect for fans of Mistborn and A Game of Thrones, this dark fantasy about a magical engineer turned thief has listeners raving.

The Dragon King rules with an iron fist and one woman has vowed to be his demise.

After a bloody conquest, the world of Loom is now ruled by Dragons. They oversee those beneath them from their sky cities with magic and cruelty.

Arianna is known as the White Wraith; an unscrupulous thief who will do anything as long as it defies her Dragon oppressors. She's spent her life working in the shadows, harboring a secret that would have her killed. A secret that will bring the Dragon King to his knees.

Joined by a trigger-happy gun mage and a Dragon prince who seeks to assassinate his king, Arianna sets out on an epic journey. The unlikely trio is Loom's last hope for freedom. But, for Arianna, this mission is personal. This is her last shot at redemption . . . and vengeance.

Story line

First book male voice is hard to listen to but improves midway through so just power through!
Otherwise- excellent story from the always talented Elise Kova

A must read steampunk fantasy reading

Although this is an earlier work by Elise Kova, and very different from series like Air Awakens or A Trial of Sorcerers, it’s such a surprising and captivating reading. I loved the world building, the characters development and the overall plot. It’s gritty, in a somewhat steampunk atmosphere (Loom) that keeps us gripped by the edge of our seat. Even if I wasn’t an absolute fan of the narrators, it was still a great audiobook trilogy.

Beautifully crafted worlds

Elise has painted a picture of two opposing worlds and how they have come together for better or worse. As per all the books of hers I have listened to, she builds an unlikely romance of two people and her happily ever agrees are almost always an alternative surprise to what you would assume in a traditional romance. I always love her creativity and how she captures me into her storylines. The performance was also brilliant!

I loved the performance and the characters

Both performers made this an Emerson’s experience. The characters were well developed and the imagery and content flowed. Lots of twists. I will miss the adventure of this story now that I am moving on to another book.

Thoroughly Enjoyable, Refreshingly Different

Wow. This was my first experience with Elizabeth Kova's writing, and read very little of the steampunk genre. I really enjoyed this story, from the world building to the characters, their customs and their strife, it was unique. I think the narrators both did a great job. I usually don't like when the pov changes narrators, especially because most males make female characters sound silly or unbelievable to me. I've listened to Tim Campbell in another series and I think he does a great job with the female characters as well as the males. Elizabeth Moon does a great job as well.

I don't understand the negative reviews. I don't think I'm easily entertained, I need a good plot, complex characters, and strong world-building to really enjoy a story, and this delivered for me. Is Arianna a ruthless bitch? Of course she is, what she's been through and the world she lives in have made her that way. I was drawn in by her, Cvareh, and Florence, and became emotionally invested in each one of them. The changing POV's were necessary to see the full picture. I didn't enjoy the villains POV's as much as the others, but I think they still added to the storytelling. There were plenty of plot twists and turns that kept me on my toes. I wish there was more story to enjoy, but I'm satified with how it ended. I highly recommend Loom Saga. I know I'll return to it for another listen.

wishing for more from this world

My feelings for this story and the voices of the readers have changed throughout listening to the story. After completing the trilogy I have to say I have a new respect for the author. You can see her writing style similar to her other books but the world and characters are so different. The conflict of each character is written so well that I found myself conflicted about the characters themselves. If you do start this trilogy you must go until the end to truly understand the characters and enjoy the story fully. One criticism is that the final book has so many chapters from different perspectives it became a little annoying to get back to the storyline I enjoyed. I will say that the Air Awakens series is still my favorite from this author.

A Unique Fantasy With Fascinating Characters

I’ve enjoyed several of Elise Kova’s books but none have hit quite like Loom Saga. This series has a little bit of everything with a unique setting that those who enjoy steampunk, light sci-fi, and cutthroat politics, will be immediately drawn into. With some slow burn enemies to lovers thrown in for good measure. I also love how devoted all of the protagonists are to their communities and each other without necessarily being the sort to come out and say it. This is a story about actions more than words and perhaps reckless dedication to one’s cause.
