The Story Peddler
The Weaver Trilogy begins with book one, The Story Peddler which is an imaginative original tale about a girl, Tanwen, whose stories turn into crystallized sculptures. Unfortunately, the king has made it illegal to tell certain stories and she can’t control the outlawed ones from escaping her hands.
The Story Raider
Book two, The Story Raider, is even better because you get to know the characters more. Sometimes the uncommon names can be difficult to decipher who relates to whom in the first book. This could be a problem more with listening to the book versus reading it. Plus there are a lot of characters involved in the plot. It picks up where book one left off and reveals who the true villain is. It was a bit unclear in first book.
The Story Hunter
This is a story about redemption and second chances, but as in real life, not everyone chooses to accept the opportunity to change. Forgiveness may be a gift, but if not accepted, it loses its power. There are a lot of darker themes with one character suffering physical abuse and rape from her captors. Murder and warped desires for revenge present a formula for evil in contrast to the light. A few good characters were killed. The characters that were against murder and abuse of others attempted to end the enemy without violence, but that didn’t always work.
The magic system was original as several people are gifted with the ability to weave stories into objects. The strands could be used for beauty and creation of wonderful things, but they could also be used for danger and violence.
