Summary: Much better than the first book
Comment: This one had an original plotline that didn't seem to need to base itself on any of the Earth's children series. The only downside was that the characters weren't quite as developed as they were in the first book, and in parts it seems as though Spinka has second thoughts about where she wants to take the storyline; sometimes things you think are going to happen don't, but it's not done in the "plot twist" way, it's more like "let's try this instead". Sloppy writing, but still an enjoyable read.

Summary: Not as good as her first...
Comment: After Spinka's well-crafted debut Picture Maker, Dream Weaver was a disappointment. It seemed a sloppily composed analog.
The story centers around, Ingrid, picture maker's "half-breed" daughter. Ingrid takes the reverse trek her mother took in the previous novel, attempting to make her way back to her Ganeogaona ancestors' village. There is a sense of deja vu and ennui in retracing the footsteps of Ingrid's mother.
The cultural examination of Nordic life and the birth of Christianity in Greenland also fails to peak interest as it is not very different from the crusade stories familiar to much of the Judeo-Christian world. The enlightening examination of native culture that was so powerful and alluring in Picture Maker is absent from Dream Weaver.
Without the tantalizing wonder of what will happen next or the stimulating examination of unfamiliar cultures, there is little left to recommend the book. Even the awkward sentence structure and numerous typographical errors evidence the rushed way in which this sequel was produced. Hopefully, if Spinka ever publishes a third novel, she will take her time and write one that rivals the first.
