The New York Times bestselling author returns to the Nine Kingdoms for another spellbinding story of magical romance.
Ruith had long managed to ignore the magic in his veins, until aiding Sarah with her ill-fated quest forced him into places where his heritage was impossible to deny. Faced with an ever-increasing number of enemies who covet his power, Ruith must accept his birthright and gather his father's spells together so he can destroy them-or turn away and allow his father's evil to overcome the Nine Kingdoms.
Now, Ruith and Sarah must rely on each other more than ever-for everything they value is at risk: the Nine Kingdoms, their lives...and their hearts.

The world of the Nine Kingdoms expands...
By Katie Mc P
First, since the order of these books can be confusing to those who aren't familiar with them, here is a listing of all the Nine Kingdoms stories (updated Jan '15):
Two Prelude short stories, found in anthologies with other authors:
- The Queen in Winter ("A Whisper of Spring" when Symon, the first king of Neroche, woos and wins Iolaire, princess of Ainneamh)
- To Weave a Web of Magic ("The Tale of Two Swords" where Mehar of Angesand and Gilraehen, --th king of Neroche, fall in love and the legendary sword of Angesand is forged.)
Miach and Morgan's story is told in:
1- Star of the Morning (The Nine Kingdoms, Book 1)
2- The Mage's Daughter (The Nine Kingdoms, Book 2)
3- Princess of the Sword (The Nine Kingdoms, Book 3)
Ruith and Sarah's story (which OVERLAPS Miach and Morgan's story in the timeline) is told in:
4- A Tapestry of Spells (The Nine Kingdoms, Book 4)
5- Spellweaver (this book)
6- Gift of Magic (The Nine Kingdoms, Book 6)
Runach and Aisling's story is being told in:
7- Dreamspinner (The Nine Kingdoms, Book 7)
8- River of Dreams (The Nine Kingdoms, Book 8)
9- Dreamer's Daughter (The Nine Kingdoms, Book 9)
So! Now that I've got all that hopefully stated clearly...
A Tapestry of Spells ended with Ruith and Sarah being separated, right after Sarah discovered who Ruith really was--namely, the youngest son of one of the most evil and powerful black mages history had ever known...and, what was almost worse to her mind, 3/4 elvin prince! Spellweaver begins only hours later, with Sarah, being just the daughter of a village witchwoman, realizing that she has absolutely no right to be feeling anything whatsoever for one of those high and mighty elves, even if he hadn't been a prince...which Ruith most certainly was. The fact that she has no magic whatsoever only cements the fact that her fond feelings for him really should be banished as quickly as she is able to manage the feat. He is clearly far, FAR out of her league, even if he won't admit it.
Sarah does, however, have the gift of seeing...a gift which puzzles Ruith and only adds to her fascination. To him, his heritage is more of a burden and curse than anything else...especially since he doesn't much like the thought that he'll have to keep living for centuries after Sarah's mortal life ends. And so he continues his attempts to avoid his magic and birthright. But reality presses in until he finally realizes that his magic is a tool, and he's got twenty years of lost experience to make up for. Events make it clear that if he doesn't learn fast, he'll most likely lose it to one of the many mages who would gladly claim his magic as their own.
The romance between Sarah and Ruith unfolds more in this book, though it is quieter and takes a back seat to the world-building and character growth. I missed the stronger romance that Miach and Morgan's story had. I still love this installment of Sarah and Ruith's story, though. Spellweaver focuses more on the unfolding of Sarah's gift and the discovery of who she really is. Her gift is one that made me grateful to see the world of the Nine Kingdoms through her eyes. So much beauty! ...running through words and souls and carvings of stone. ...dancing to the music played in the palace of the dwarves. And we get to marvel at it as Sarah learns to use what she sees.
Spellweaver also focuses on Ruith's struggle. Here he is, an elven prince with a library's worth of spells--including all of his father's--rattling around his poor brain. But it is precisely that knowledge that has caused him to bury his magic. It doesn't take Ruith too long, though, to realize that running from his past is childish. No one blames him for doing it when he was 10, but he can certainly do it no longer--especially since he'll need his magic to protect Sarah from those who seek her gift and to protect the world from those who seek his father's evil and powerful spells. But no sooner does he uncap his magic, then he realizes that twenty lost years of practice using it are not going to be made up easily, and his magic is about as unwieldy in his hands as a broadsword would be in the hands of a child. And all the signs are indicating that he's going to need not only all his magic and Sarah's sight, but also more skill than he currently has to best whomever is waiting for him in the far north.
That's what I love about this book. I love the challenge that Ruith is faced with. I love how the Nine Kingdoms world expands. I love the imagery and beauty and how visiting the Nine Kingdoms makes me look at our world a little differently. I love how Ruith is a curious (and humorous) mix of the hermit who lived on the mountain and a proud and glamorous elvin prince who can outfit a room in luxury with a few choice bits of Fadaire.
And I love the setup that this book gives for the finale (coming next year). I love the way this book plays out alongside Princess of the Sword (The Nine Kingdoms, Book 3) in the timeline of the Nine Kingdoms. I love that we have only a tantalizing bit of a hint about who is waiting for Ruith, and I love that the hint both ups the stakes and opens new questions of how? and why? I love that neither Sarah nor Ruith could possibly succeed in their task alone, and I love how Ruith just might be the ONLY one who can do what lies ahead.
I'm giving this one 4-stars as well, since 4 1/2 stars is not possible. This trilogy is not quite as good as Miach and Morgan's trilogy. It moves slowly and gets repetitious in places. But again, the beauty of the writing, the world-building, and the magic moments laced with romance make up for it and still make this an enjoyable book worth re-reading.
Now I just have to be patient all year long until Gift of Magic comes out!
________________________________
Edited (after Gift of Magic came out) to add:
When a book is part of a trilogy, do you rate each book on its own merits, or do you consider the entire trilogy in the rating? I honestly don't know.
I'm going to leave the above review intact as I originally wrote it. (At least for now.) However, I feel obligated to add this caveat: the final book doesn't fulfill what the first two (especially this one) led me to anticipate. I find myself reading this review and feeling disappointed because that the lead-up excitement I felt wasn't fulfilled.
Am I disappointed in this one now for getting my hopes up? Or am I disappointed in Gift of Magic for not fulfilling everything I hoped it would? Or should all the blame rest on Gift of Magic? I'm honestly not sure. I still love Lynn Kurland's writing, so I know I'll end up re-reading the entire trilogy again. I also admit that if I had picked up Gift of Magic from an unknown author, expecting to be disappointed (because I usually am--I'm very picky), I would have liked it quite a bit and been interested in reading more from the author.
But I wasn't. This is an author whose work I generally love, and this book led me to hope for a decent amount in the end of the story...and the end of the story didn't have it.
When I do re-read it (knowing how it'll end this time), I might very well come back and amend the reviews for all three. I don't know. But in the meantime, I feel compelled to at least add this note.

Next please!
By Chistie W.
I finished Spellweaver a couple days ago and it has taken me until now to process how I'd review it... Coming off the high of the first Nine Kingdoms trilogy with Miach and Morgan, I was disappointed in A Tapestry of Spells. The story, plot and characters felt too familiar - like it was merely a slight reworking of the previous trilogy with similar acting characters just different names. And in some ways I still felt that way with Spellweaver. There are a lot of similarities in the characters of Sarah and Ruith in comparison to Miach and Morgan. Both ladies have an aversion for magic (and mages) and initially don't understand/accept that they have their own power (granted for Morgan that was a great deal of magic and for Sarah we are still learning about her "vision" and weaving skills). Both Ruith and Miach shoulder great responsibility- with their birthrights that they have a hard time accepting (Miach) or a familial connection that they have a hard time reconciling with.
When A Tapestry of Spells ended we were left hanging with what was going to happen with both of heroes. (I will not give away that ending in case you have not read it yet.) The focus of Spellweaver is more on character development- we learn a lot of interesting tidbits about Sarah- some that I suspected were coming but others were an insightful twist. Spellweaver actually reminded me quite a bit of the beginning of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. There is a lot of time spent wandering and searching (here for Gair's spells and Daniel, in HP for horcruxes). The momentum and pace of the story is a nice gradual build- like the Mage's Daughter (the 2nd story in Miach and Morgan's series) there is not as much action- the major "battles" are being saved for the last installment. The romance between Sarah and Ruith continues to develop and flourish, in quite an achingly sweet and touching manner. Move over Miach, Ruith is a new favorite LK hero!! ;-)
I am quite impressed by LK's ability to interweave her stories. There is some overlap happening with the first trilogy- not so much so that anyone who has not read the first couldn't jump in on A Tapestry of Spells and Spellweaver and then move on to Star of Morning, Mage's Daughter and Princess of the Sword. (A very smart move to allow new readers to jump in at any time- since the same is true with her time travel/historical romances.)
Overall Spellweaver is an intriguing continuation of the story presented in a Tapestry of Spells. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I enjoyed it much more than its predecessor. I was worried that this wouldn't be as enjoyable a series because it didn't start out that well... but I didn't need to worry. As I drew closer and closer to the end of the book, the thought of having to leave this world was depressing. I wanted to continue to live vicariously through the sweet interplay between Ruith and Sarah. I await most anxiously the finale... SIGH... next year. Once again Ms. Kurland has presented a lovely tale that is free from the smut that ruins/bogs down so many other romances. It is such a relief to be able to pick up a romance book and not have to worry about any unnecessarily graphic love scenes, profanity, or overly sensual language. I tend to veer to Christian romances for that very reason, just because I don't want to feel scandalized (or embarrassed- as I've gotten my mom hooked on these) by what I'm reading. I wish there were more authors like her...

Beautiful character building; Not much action
By Queenberly
This novel is the sequel to A Tapestry of Spells (The Nine Kingdoms, Book 4), and the second part of Ruith and Sarah's trilogy. It's a slow-moving novel, but every page is beautiful. The characters do much thinking and self-discovery. I usually prefer more action, but found at the end that I was very satisfied that I took the day and a half to read it. It was tenderly written, and the ending might bring a tear to your eye.
The main objective in this trilogy is for Ruith and Sarah to locate and assemble the entirety of Gair's evil spells, then destroy them before any number of black mages can make use of them. The urgency of this task is all but lost in the much-described journey to self-discovery of both Ruith and Sarah. Hardly any details are spent on moving along the plot, and almost all spent on waiting to leave or taking that last good meal for a long, long time. There are some missed opportunities for action, even if the primary purpose for this novel is to prepare Ruith and Sarah for the action later to come. For instance, I wouldn't have minded reading more details about Ruith's rough practice sessions in the magic lists.
Nevertheless, what I loved about the book was the characters from previous novels that were developed deeper. My favorite is Soilleir, and I truly hope Lynn Kurland writes his own trilogy so that I can see him "wallow" in his longing, as Ruith predicted.
Ultimately, Spellweaver is worth the read as a beautiful story of self-discovery. I expect Ruith and Sarah's third book will move at a faster pace as the threads of their tapestry are tied together. For a supporting novel in a fabulous series, this is definitely worth the read, though not always exactly page-turning.
