This is the first book of the trilogy that continues with River of Dreams, which I read first and don’t advise. It introduces Aisling of Buadair, who was apprenticed to the weavers’ guild of that kingdom at the age of seven and has had her apprenticeship extended by her parents twice since then (each apprenticeship lasts seven years). Months short of her 28th birthday, when her parents shouldn’t be able to extend her again, she sees them going into the guild headquarters and has a bad feeling that they’re going to do it anyway. A peddler provides her with the necessary papers to leave the country (not an easy thing to do) and sends her on a mission to find an assassin to kill the usurper who holds the throne. All sorts of bad things happen to her along the way, but she does meet Rùnach, a son of the black mage Gair (also the father of Ruith from the second Nine Kingdoms trilogy and Morgan from the first) whom we met briefly in Gift of Magic. (We met both Gair and Rùnach in that book, for that matter.) And the two manage to end up traveling together, though their relationship is a bit prickly, since both have secrets they’re unwilling to share. The romance side of this pairing is not very prominent in this book compared to its sequel, but the adventure side is stronger. I did note with interest that Aisling is shown on the cover aiming a longbow left-handed; on the cover of River of Dreams she’s also aiming a longbow, but right-handed in that one. I’d presume that if she were really that ambidextrous a point would have been made of it in the text, which it isn’t, so I suspect the artist for this book was just careless. (Or possibly the picture was reverted in a transfer.)

Dreamspinner A Novel of the Nine Kingdoms Lynn Kurland 9780425262191 Books Reviews

Lynn Kurland continues her adventures in the Nine Kingdoms with book 7. Or book 1 of the third trilogy.. It is a powerful saga of epic proportions.. Where trilogies 1 and 2 overlapped. Their stories taking place at the same time and seldom intersecting Dreamspinner begins at the end of the other two. We find that the great evil has been conquered, that things should be quiet for a while. Yeah, like that is going to happen.

Rùnach of Ceangail's entire family was destroyed when his father attempted to open a well of great evil and his mother tried to stop him. His powers had been stripped and he has been in hiding researching everything he could in order to correct the evil done. Fortunately for Runach, his sister and one brother also survived and twenty years later they were able to live their own destinies and have found their HEA's. Now it's his turn and all he wants is a normal unexciting life. He has no power and what is left to him is his amazing memory and his knowledge of swordfighting. His hands have been healed and only time will tell if he can once again become the swordmaster he was as a youth.

Aisling of Bruadair cracks me up. She lives in reality, total and complete reality. The legends and stories are just that stories. No way does magic exist. The only existence she can claim is the one where she was sold by her parents to the weavers guild. That she lived in drudgery and near slavery with no escape insight. Until a series of interesting coincidences changes all that. If you know anything at all about Ms Kurland you will know that NOTHING is ever a mere coincidence this woman's conspiracy theories have conspiracy theories. Her escape seems to come from these random events but they send her off to find an assassin . and where are the assassins found? At Weger's stronghold.. which by coincidence *grins* is just where Runach is headed.

It was great watching Aisling discover that well, um.. magic is real! Her reactions are very similar to what I firmly believe many of us would have. Well those of us with a logic based mind. I can so see some of my family members.. All in all, she does handle it well as her discovery comes in increments.

As these two battle their separate unbelief and lack of faith, together they form a quest. They travel from one end of the Nine Kingdoms to the other, discovering who and what they are battling and just what they have to work with. Finding both allies and enemies along the way. As we are reintroduced to old friends and new enemies it is hard to not be captivated once again by Ms Kurland's Nine Kingdoms..

I am so excited about this rich fantasy. Ms Kurland relies upon lush, intricate characters and scenes. This is a sensual rather than sexual delight. The promise of what if and what can be rather than immersion in sexual antics. This series is fantasy, pure fantasy.. a wonderful saga of epic proportions.. and I seriously do not want to have to wait an entire year for her next installment. *sigh* I tried, I really tried to hold off. To read the entire trilogy when they were all out. Yeah, like that was going to happen. This is one of my favorite series.. a delightful fantasy bringing back some of my major childhood favorites..

Enjoy this book, I know I did!!

The book continues the story of the nine kingdoms with Runach. I admit I was a little worried because I felt let down by the way Rudith and Sarah's story ended and wasn't sure if a story with Runach could be pulled off at least not with him having no magic and messed up hands. However somehow it works. I was pulled in immediately as Lynn began her story with a memory and not the one at the well thank goodness. I think it is the loneliness of Runach and Aisling that pulls at you the most. It seems as though each is surrounded by people and yet very much alone and trapped in circumstances in which the have no control. As the travel through the nine kingdoms they are thrown together as they each try to find a place in a world in which neither quite seem to belong. Aisling is trying to escape the life she left behind in a weaver's guild and find a mercenary to free here people all while trying to figure out how much of what she has been told is a lie and how much is truth. Runach is trying to find his place in the world without his magic and to relearn how to wield a sword with his nearly healed hands. They encounter many of the characters from the previous nine kingdoms books...primarily those from the first three, some good and other boy. The similarities between Aisling and Sarah become apparent early on to the reader and yet the is only a brief mention of Sarah in the book which seems odd considering what is revealed. The only real downside is that unlike Miach and Rudith, Runach doesn't quite measure up as a hero able to take care of himself and Aisling. Aisling manages to get him out of a few situations as do other familiar characters and unlike the other too it seems like he is incapable of doing more and clearly wishes he had his magic. It leaves you thinking, hoping, and wondering if somehow he will manage to get his magic back....
