The Story Raider (The Weaver Trilogy #2) by Lindsay A. Franklin -- Review

About the Book

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. ​

Review

In book two of her Weaver Trilogy, Lindsay A. Franklin, once again brings to life a magical adventure.  This story continues and compliments the story of that in the first book.  This is a series that will need to be read in order to best understand what is going on.  Readers of The Story Peddler, the first book in the series, will be drawn to this story, waiting and wanting to know what will happen next.  Although the story is a bit stretched out and slow going and one of the main characters is a bit whiner than some readers may like, this tale is still filled with a beautiful and magical touch that readers will find charming.  There is also a bit of a love triangle going on in this story, along with the adventures and pillaging.  A theme in the story is strong bonds between family and friends.  Readers will be intrigued and drawn to this enticing story and will once again be left wanting more with its cliffhanger ending.
