Commentary Toward Books Shield of Stars (The Shield, Sword, and Crown #1)

Weasel fumbled the cloth aside. It was a shield, steel plate over dark wood, with rotting leather straps. It looked old, and battered, and real.

A former pickpocket, Weasel is the type of boy most people would avoid. Certainly, no one would ever trust him -- except for one man. Justice Holis took Weasel off the streets, gave him a home, a job as his clerk, and a key to his house. Weasel's new life may be a bit boring, but for the first time someone actually cares about him.

Now Justice Holis is the one in trouble. Arrested for treason, he will surely hang unless someone saves him -- and that someone can only be Weasel. But what can one boy do? Not much without help.

So with a mysterious girl named Arisa by his side, Weasel goes in search of the Falcon, the most dangerous bandit in Deorthas, but also the one person who would be able -- and possibly willing -- to stage a prison break.

But Weasel's fate changes when he stumbles upon a shield. Could this be the one said to have been lost for centuries, the one that bestows power on whoever holds it? If so, Weasel, once a lowly pickpocket, could be the most powerful person in the land.

With extraordinary craftsmanship, Hilari Bell weaves a fantasy adventure story that will have readers captivated from the first word to the last.

I'm on my way to reading all of Hilari Bell's books. This one seems to be more character driven. I can see the beginnings of the trader character in the Farsala trilogy. How much of himself will a former criminal put on the line for his boss? Bell likes to man the plot with unlikely heroes and weaves faith and beliefs into the consequences even when they claim to have no religion. Each chapter of Shield of Stars begins with a kind of tarot card, and meanings and gods that make up the belief and

This, simply put, is an excellent trilogy for a YA reader, or a reader who enjoys YA books. Adventurous, multi-layered, rewarding.A great book, or series of books, to put into the hands of a voracious young reader.

This was a re-read. Took me a while to get back into it again, but I think it's because I've read this book several more times than the rest of the series and I remembered it so well I was bored. Whoops. Sorry about that, memory.

This book surprised me: I was expecting a typical fantasy: young apprentice type with a sketchy past learns a better way and then has to rescue his master, gets help from friends along the way (enter the clever don't-judge-a-book-by-its-cover young girl), and eventually learns that his moral compass has been adjusted, that he now cares for what's right, etc. It has all of these elements, but it also is a well-written treatment on political strife, power, control, and symbolism. Bell addresses

I needed a break from everything else Ive been reading - and what could be better than a fantasy author I loved when I was 13? I always like how tight and well-planned (both on the characters and her part) Hilari Bells plots feel.
