The Story Raider
The Weaver Trilogy book 2
by Lindsay A. Franklin
-From Goodreads- Deceiving an empire is a treacherous game. Tanwen and the Corsyth weavers race to collect the strands of an ancient cure that might save Gryfelle. But Tanwen has a secret—Gryfelle isn’t the only one afflicted by the weaver's curse. As Queen Braith struggles to assert her rule, a new arrival throws her tenuous claim to the Tirian throne into question. Braith’s heart is turned upside down, and she’s not sure she can trust anyone—least of all herself. The puppet master behind Gareth’s rise to power has designs on Tanwen and the story weavers and will stop at nothing to reclaim the throne. A plot to incite the angry peasants of Tir takes shape, and those dearest to Tanwen will be caught in the crossfire. As the fight for Tir consumes the realm, no one can remain innocent. ISBN-13: 9781683702030 Will their mission succeed or be their downfall? Wow, if this is what book 2 delivers I seriously wondering what the conclusion of The Weaver Trilogy will bring! As if The Story Raider's super creepy cover, seriously, look at that smoke shrouded hand and tell me it isn't creepy, wasn't enough the story inside was kind of a 'whoa' experience. Tannie's curse is worsening, Mor is distant, Gryfelle is fading fast, Braith is walking a tightrope, and someone or something dark is still trying to run the show from the shadows. When you add a desperate sea voyage,a diplomatic mission, and a new contender for the throne, well, the Corsyth weavers will be brought to the brink and readers will be in for a thrilling magic-filled story of adventure and sacrifice. | This Book received a 4 Bark rating. |
If there's one thing that caught my attention in this story it's that when disappointment comes anger can soon follow which can open up the person to negative influences that may ordinarily be passed on by the wayside.
Lindsay A. Franklin's The Weaver Trilogy YA fantasy series has exceeded my expectations. It's a family friendly tale that can be enjoyed by all ages and really hits the mark for Christian fantasy. I really enjoyed book 2 and now I just can't seem to want to wait for book 3...
