OUTSTANDING!!!, Aug 4 2007

I previously reviewed the first book in this series, 'A Distant Music' and this is the conclusion to the trilogy, but how I wish it were not the last. The author wraps up the story with this book and how I loved visiting with all the wonderful characters again. Hoff manages somehow to get you inside her novels and you feel the damp and cold of the mountain in the winter, you feel the wonderful moments in the school house and Maggie and Jonathan's home. This is a wonderful, fantastic series and you do not want to miss it at all. Be warned, though, you most definitely will need a box of tissues. You will feel the warmth and love of this story long after finishing it.

As usual, BJ Hoff has delivered a captivating historical fiction novel that is hard to put down. The realistic setting and characters made it truly enthralling. I loved the situation with Maggie and her husband becoming parents overnight. There were so many facets to this book...from dealing with loss, to choosing your priorities, being supportive of family, addressing issues of domestic violence and the aftermath, living with chronic pain, etc. Each situation was well done and by the book's end I was wishing there were more books coming in the series. But regardless, The Song Weaver is a fabulous conclusion to a wonderful trilogy. Any true lover of historical fiction will find this novel captivating. The one thing I didn't get, however, was the title, because though there was some singing indicated in the book, I didn't see the "song weaver" as an applicable title that summarized the story. But despite that tiny flaw, this was a top notch book. On the one hand there was plenty of action to keep you reading, topped with just enough drama to keep your attention and hold it steady.

A sweet story..., Oct 2 2011

I don't want to ruin all five stars reviews. The writer is skillful to create sweet stories. I'm just an avid reader who doesn't look for sweet. The author also tends to tell a lot in this series instead of showing. The writer didn't have to explain every single thought to us--I lost interest. The characters didn't draw me in. I couldn't identify with the characters.
The author concentrated on too many points of views in such a short novel. The story would be richer if she would keep the heroine's and hero's point of view.
There were a few moments that the author squeezed my heart, but I didn't feel it deep enough in my bones.
Maybe, it's just this series or my taste.
