A Treespeaker is one with his forest, moving with its spirit, inseparably bound to it.

Terrifying visions warn Jakan that a visitor to his tribe is not who he claims to be. As the villagers fall under the spell of the stranger’s mind-bending sorcery, Jakan grows desperate to be rid of him. Events take a sinister turn when he accuses the stranger of sacrilege — and it is Jakan, not the outsider, who is expelled from the forest.

Join Jakan on his perilous journey across a blighted land as he searches for the secret that will save his people — and himself.

"Treespeaker is an intricately woven book that reads like an old oral history. It flows beautifully; with the story so deeply rooted in nature, the writing seemed to take on a life of its own and bloom in its own right."

5,0 su 5 stelle A different, subtle work of fantasy
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 26 aprile 2011

After reading some very good fantasy novels by indie authors, the cover, blurb and title of Treespeaker caught my attention. Pretty soon I understood that this novel is different from the fantasy I normally love. It lacked the epic battles of knights in full armor, the fireworks of mages and powerful wizards. Instead, I got tangled in the roots of a forest village tribe, protected by the intricate, subtle magic of the Tree God, Arrakesh. No in-your-face bombastic magic, but an unassuming, delicate and organic magic that is quite unique and interesting. And despite the lack of epic battles, Treespeaker has plenty of tension and enough action to keep reading chapter after chapter.

I don't like spoilers in reviews, so I won't tell too much about the story. The main character, Jakan, the Treespeaker (a sort of shaman) of his tribe, encounters drama after drama as a stranger succeeds breaking through the protective barrier of the forest. With all these setbacks, Jakan tries to cling to his belief in Arrakesh and travels far away and at great risk to save his tribe.

The depth and development of characters is very good in this novel, and we see Jakan and is son struggle with issues which are also part of our lives, and very identifiable. This book deals with themes which are universal, and add to its depth. The writing is excellent, in a clear and sober tone, and - it is a word I keep coming back to - subtle. And again an indie novel which is very well edited and with a clear and pleasant layout.

One minor complaint I could find was with the plot, which is fairly linear and lacks the convoluted intrigue I like in epic fantasy. However, there are enough twists and the novel has sufficient pace to keep the reader involved. And the ending is quite nifty, with an excellent twist which again shows the unique magic displayed and the subtlety of author Katie Stewart. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, and hope there will be a sequel soon.

I have one final comment. The lack of graphic violence, explicit language and all that stuff which I normally read and even like in novels was simply refreshing. That makes Treespeaker appropriate for all readers, and especially for those who search for novels that have no Content Advisory. I would recommend this novel to anyone.

5,0 su 5 stelle More than just a story.
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 13 ottobre 2012

I delighted in reading this story from start to finish.

Based in a village, this fantasy of old centres around the Tree speaker & it's people. A simplistic way of life continues to reign within the veil, a shield that protects the forest & it's people from the outside world.
As in any culture, the young are anxious to experience what's beyond the veil as they hear stories of a greater world.

The willingness to trust newcomers & the eagerness to branch into pastures new is exciting & consequences are ignored when a stranger arrives but there is deeper deception at stake here as the Elders become involved. Loyalties are challenged, families scattered & death awaits the innocent, as the story heads on into a battle of good verses evil, magic verses faith.

Meaningful & spiritual messages are woven in the storyline & at times I found myself taking a step back & pondering the thoughts of Jaken & Dovan & how it readily applies to our life today.

For me i saw a journey through the soul, one of doubt & abandonment while trying to trust the path you're on regardless of circumstances. Knowing that everything has meaning yet experiencing the confusion & loneliness that this brings.

Stepping out into the unknown is not without it's fears & frustration & as Jaken is forced to leave the village in order to save his people he learns the changes that are taking place are meant to be.

Highly recommended to any fantasy reader with or without a spiritual interest.

It is beautifully written, flows without pause & the characters feel real.

One to read again.

I loved the quick moving plot and characters.
This book would be great for young and old readers alike.
My 5 star rating is given because I enjoyed reading this book, but also, because I was constantly drawn back to continue reading. I could not put it down.

Premise: Jakan is the Treespeaker for the Fifth Tribe of Arrakesh. His people live deep in the sacred forest, and speak to their god through special great trees, one in each tribe. The Treespeaker names the proper Chief Elder for the Tribe, foretells the weather, and generally advises the people so that they can live in balance with the forest. But this year, all Jakan can foresee is danger and death. A danger is coming to the tribe from outside, even though that should not be possible. It is also impossible for a Treespeaker to leave the forest and live, but Jakan will have to try, if he wants to save his people.

I thought the writing in this book was quite strong, although I didn't love the last third or so.

The world of the Tribes is colorful and interesting. I liked the use of magic, the mystery surrounding the impending doom, the internal politics of the group and the families. There's some romanticizing of their pastoral way of life, but that's par for the course in this genre.

Reading about Jakan trying to survive in the world outside the forest, where no one knows the rules he's always lived by, is pretty great too. There's a nice dose of mysticism, and a good scattering of supporting characters. The style is addictive and easy to follow.

However, somewhere near the build up to the climax the plot takes a left turn. Suddenly their god seems a lot more powerful, Jakan's mission fairly pointless, and a lot of the earlier plot and theme seems undermined. The ending is fine, I just found it really unsatisfying compared to what had gone before.

Overall I'm going to have to call it a good book, but it could have been better.
