Wow! Gen Ching brought something wonderful and refreshing to the table with Weaving Destiny! After reading The Soulkeepers, I wasn't sure how the sequel would play out. To my surprise I loved it! The novel went smooth and was a well worded, fast paced read.
As the characters from the previous book are still around, we are introduced to a couple more people in this book and we also get to meet a few more that we didn't get around to spending time with in the first book. You will love to hate some...more

For you to become what you were born to be, you must face and overcome your greatest fears. You must release what you desire most, and you must choose your course based on your wish to serve, knowing you may do so alone. (pg105)
What an exciting sequel to The Soulkeepers by G. P. Ching! While I loved book one, I devoured book two and could not put it down. It has lots of action, sizzling chemistry, and twists I totally didn’t expect.

I loved this book even more than the first in the series, The Soulkeepers, which is saying something because I really loved that one too. The second volume in The Soulkeepers series continues the original, epically written, and fast paced saga that G.P Ching began in The Soulkeepers. With an impending showdown against fallen angels, new friends and foes alike, zombies, prom dates with Death, and startling new discoveries, Weaving Destiny is an action packed, emotionally charged ride start to fin...more
Hi!
I'm rating this 4.5 stars.
I won Weaving Destiny and The Soulkeepers by G.P. Ching as ebooks.
This book has developed so well! In my review of the Soulkeepers I said that my least favourite character was Malini. This book has really turned my opinion of her around. Adding her point of view made you relate to her as a character and (SPOILER) by making her into a Healer and describing her experiences made me really relate to her. Ching has made me completely change my opinion of a character and t...more

The Watchers are now more determined than ever to succeed in their fight for dominance. And as more and more people go missing or turn up dead, the Soulkeepers appear to be losing the fight.
With Malini still unsure about what she really is and just what she can do to help, Dr. Silva manages to track down another Soulkeeper willing to join them. But Mara Kane isn’t just any Soulkeeper. She’s gorgeous. And she seems to have set her sights on Jacob.

Malini Gupta is having a hard time figuring out where she fits into the Soulkeepers. Even though she believes Jacob is her destiny, the frustration of not knowing what she is threatens to tear their relationship apart. Matters are aggravated further when a horseman named Mara shows up. She’s clearly interested in Jacob but Jacob isn’t giving any clear cut answers.

I have been enjoying this series. First of all, it does not have any vampires. It does have zombies. Both of these are good things in YA book series.
The premise is the on going battle between good and evil pitting the Soulkeepers against the fallen angels of the devil. The battle has some twists as the main characters find their true powers and purposes. Add in typical human conflict, and you have the second book of the series.

This was a fun read. It was jam packed with action and I think kept the reader more enthralled than the first book. I love that it was from Malini's point of view rather than the central charater of Jacob. As with most series, the writer keeps the same chacter perspective thru the whole series so I enjoyed the small change. I think this is more appropriate for teens and the love story will make a teen girl swoon. Nothing grapic or sexual which makes the love story so sweet. This reminds me a lot...more

"Weaving Destiny" asks the age old question, 'Do you believe in destiny?' In the beginning of our story, Jacob's cousin Katrina is attending a college party where she is drinking too much. She meets a man, Cord who she cannot seem to resist. He gets her another drink and soon she is dizzy. He offers to walk her home and the next morning she awakens lying on the grass with her roommate hovering over her. She is scheduled to go home to Paris, the next day.

This is book 2 of the series and since book 1 really caught my attention, I thought this one would too. And it did - to an extent. The story focuses more on Malini in this book, whereas book one was about Jacob and his family's past.
It's about her figuring out her role (at the same time the reader is figuring it out) and what her "destiny" is all about. Destiny and being chosen for something as a teenager is not a new theme, all who know young adult fiction are very familiar with it, however th...more

A fantastic sequel to The Soulkeepers, 'Weaving Destiny' had me even more invested in the great band of characters Ching has created, especially Jacob and Malini.
We are introduced to Mara, a new soulkeeper, who has a strong attraction for Jacob and causes friction between him and Malini. Also, to Death himself, a really fantastic character and so well thought out by Ching.
While Malini attempts to discover her soulkeeper skill, and feel less of an outsider in the group, Lucifer and his army of Wa...more

This was every bit as good as the first in the series, if not better. The plot offered plenty of surprises, believable character interactions and growth, and some wonderful visual imagery. Once again the author doesn’t shirk away from the tough issues as Melani battles with finding and coming to terms with her place in the world of Soulkeepers and watchers. Self sacrifice and mercy killing are a couple that spring to mind. Her father’s journey to understanding his teenager and her coming to unde...more
With Weaving Destiny, G.P. Ching serves up a fascinating story that is equal parts action, excitement and emotional baggage.
Jacob and Malini’s relationship undergoes a change, and I must say that it makes me love them even more. I am not going to give away the details, but let’s just say that the dynamics change. They do a lot of growing throughout Weaving Destiny; both together and separately. Malini especially begins to have more of an identity outside of their relationship and it is really ni...more

I've read a couple of reviews that said this book ended rather suddenly and I would have to agree. This is especially true if you read it on a Kindle. More than 10% of e-book is sneak peak chapters from other books, so the book you're reading is suddenly over even though you thought you were only 85% or so done. Having said that, it's still a great, quick read, with the character development continuing nicely from the first book. I'm very intrigued by some of the new characters that were introdu...more
I read this on the back of book 1, The Soulkeepers. I feel in love with the story there and was happy that the second book was out so I could continue right away.
Again Ms. Ching does an awesome job with her writing. Keeping it smooth, extremely descriptive and engrossing. She sucked me right back into the story bringing the characters to life once again.
Loved the story line, and love where it is going. I can't wait for the third book to be released so I can travel to Eden.

I so forgot how much I loved this series and I am seriously sad that I let so much time pass between Soulkeepers and Weaving Destiny.
The action and emotion was just as intense in Weaving Destiny as it was in the first book. The fact that Malini’s parents have grounded her from seeing Jacob doesn’t make it easy for them to find ways to spend time together much less fight the next Watcher threat. A new Soulkeeper joins the ranks, plus some other very interesting characters. Attacks come from unexp...more

loved The Soulkeepers. I thought it was a brilliant and amazing book. So, I was quite excited to read the next book in the series, Weaving Destiny. And when I learned that the story would be told from Malini's point of view, I thought "Yay!".

Compared to the first book, Weaving Destiny is definitely an evolution. I always felt like there was one unidentifiable, gnawing thing missing from the first, but it is rectified in Weaving Destiny. The writing is much better, the story-telling even more intricate and clever, and the characters seem even more realistic and likable.

I really really love Malini. She is my favorite Soulkeeper and I enjoyed her journey as she finds her true calling (I'm trying not to include any spoilers!). The book is good up until the last few chapters. I think it gets built up but then doesn't deliver in the end. I wish Ching had taken her time with that. A lot happens in such a short span of time at the end, and it is a bit of a letdown. Overall though, I liked it. There were bits of humor that I enjoyed, and the love triangle was sexy as...more
I could not put this book down. I read it in one day--when I was supposed to be studying. I really enjoyed book one and book two was also excellent. After reading it, I couldn't help but notice how much more excellent book one was, in light of this new information! This author really knows how to tell a story. There were no small details. I found myself thinking - I didn't see that coming, in several places!
My only complaint is that Book three is not out yet. Come on. Don't leave me hanging!

There is one question on my mind after reading “Weaving Destiny” by G.P. Ching and it is: Why aren’t her novels N.Y. Times bestsellers?
There are no "why nots" on my list as I ponder her writing. Her word crafting and stories flow with the same magic I’ve found in my favorite authors, who are bestsellers. Her characters are distinct and possess the human qualities that make readers love them, not hate them. Her plots are engaging, surprising, and there are no dull moments that make the reader wan...more

What a way to finish off my week! An awesome book, that grabbed hold and took off running. If you haven't read book one The Soulkeepers, you are so missing out on a wonderful story.
Now, as for book two . . Weaving Destiny. This book is packed! We have action scenes, drama, romance, and to top it all of the book just sorta ends! Yep, that's right . . the book just comes to an end, so what does that mean . . . well, it means that we get to sit and think about what could possibly be next. We are l...more

There is so much I want to say about this book . . but I also need to leave this comment space spoiler free :-( . . . reviews said the second book was better . . . so I waited . . and waited . . there was teenage angst . . .and some grit . .but no real substance . . .and then . . . the borrowed storyline . . . . I am holding fire on the third book because I hope that if I go back to it with a clear head I might just enjoy it.
I got the first book in the series as a free download for my Kindle, and liked it well enough to purchase the second. It was a fun read, and the writing style is easy to follow and descriptive without taking away the fun of filling the fine details with your own imagination and immersing yourself in the setting. I am looking forward to the third in this series and would recommend these books for around ages fourteen and up.
The interesting plot of this series continued and I enjoyed it as well as the characters but I could only give it 2 stars because I was turned off by the adding of a bit of profanity including the hated 'F' word in this second book. The first book had minimal profanity and it makes me sad the author felt the need to suddenly add it for this book. Not sure I will read more in the series now.
I couldn't wait to read the second book in the Soulkeepers series and I was not disappointed! This book introduces a new character Mara who really shook things up in Paris. Also, Malina finds her true self in this book and her destiny. Fate and Death makes an appearance which was really neat! It was a fast read but probably because I'm enjoying the story line so much! Can't wait for the 3rd book to come out.
This, the second book in the series, was a much better book. The first book was choppy in the process of laying the foundation. With the foundation completed, this book flowed smoothly and was a much more enjoyable read. The Soulkeepers, Jacob and Malini, are joined by a third Soulkeeper, Mara. Malini finds her calling as a healer.
I am honored to be one of the advance readers of this book! It is turning out to be quite a story line and it definitely leaves me wanting more. The characters are well-developed and believable and the story line combines fantasy with real world elements nicely! I can't wait for the next installment in the series!
