The Story Peddler - The Weavers Trilogy

Tanwen doesn’t just tell stories—she weaves them into crystallized sculptures that sell for more than a few bits. But the only way to escape the control of her cruel mentor and claw her way from poverty is to set her sights on something grander: becoming Royal Storyteller to the king.

During her final story peddling tour, a tale of treason spills from her hands, threatening the king himself. Tanwen goes from peddler to prey as the king’s guard hunts her down . . . and they’re not known for their mercy. As Tanwen flees for her life, she unearths long-buried secrets and discovers she’s not the only outlaw in the empire. There’s a rebel group of weavers . . . and they’re after her too.

Thoughts:
My son read the second book in this series a while back and the author was so nice to send him the first book to read and share his thoughts on. This is what he had to say:

"I came into this book having already read the sequel, so I knew most of what was coming, but that did not diminish my excitement throughout the book in the least. Lindsay Franklin weaves (pun intended) these characters into a story filled with a healthy dose of adventure, a dash of humor, and a pinch of mystery. If you find anything about the beginning of the book slow, or less interesting, don’t give up on reading it, it picks up speed quickly after a few chapters. Ms. Franklin has created a masterpiece in this story, and caused me to fall in live with her characters. I would suggest this book to any adventure-lover!"
