The Weavers of Saramyr (Braided Path #1) 
This review of Chris Wooding's "The Weavers of Saramyr" originally appeared in its entirety on www.fantasyliterature.comChris Wooding has once again branched out and attacked another flavour of fantasy. This time the story brings the reader a sophisticated beginning to what promises to be a mysterious, cutthroat, and complex trilogy: THE BRAIDED PATH. Both the physical and social settings are richly described and beautifully rendered throughout. The Weavers of Saramyr introduces us to a nation
As a big fan of Kety Jay series, I went into this with s lot of expectations. Wooding paints a fantastic world in KetybJay and his characters are up there with the best (think The Expanse) so it was with interest that I started this trilogy. The obvious Japanese theme always reminds me of The servant of the Empire series and whilst the story kicks off with a lot of energy, it soon settles into a nice pace. Once again Wooding makes sure you really get to know the characters personalities and

When I first read this book it was a five star read, since then I have re-read it so many times it is probably a four star read - but as this is the first time reading whilst on this site it gets the full five stars.I think Chris Wooding was one of my favourite authors as a teenager, I really like his writing style though I can see why, in this book, people dislike it because it can be almost overly descriptive. The best way to describe this books setting is as a kind of feudal Japan or China
This could have been so much more. I was getting really interested in the mechanics of everything, like the way it worked and all, and his writing style was pretty good, but then Chris Wooding had to go and get off on writing some girl on girl.This is the only book I've ever thrown across the room.Such a damned WASTE!
First book in the "The Braided Path" trilogy.Here the fantasy empire ruling the land of Saramyr has an oriental flavour, a level of technology that allows rifles and bombs and a communications system relying on magic--the sorcery of the dreaded, masked Weavers. By manipulating the magical Weave of the world, a kind of fantasy cyberspace, Weavers can not only send messages over any distance but manipulate minds, fight intangibly and kill. The use of the Weaving, and their masks, makes the weavers
The weaver of this story shouldn't have tried to follow so many threads, because as a result it's all tangled up.The main flaw is that there is no clear point of view : you think you follow the thoughts of a character, and then it can jump to another character in the same paragraph. It's very confusing. At first I read back to see if I had missed something, until I realised it was useless and I just read on without trying to see images of the scenes. It's like we have the point of view of the

This is the story of the ancient empire of Saramyr—an empire that rules over a land overwhelmed by evil. The evil comes from within the empire’s center: the Weavers, a sect of male magicians close to the throne, intent on killing any child born with magical powers. But now the Empress has given birth to just such a child…and a revolution is brewing.Particularize Epithetical Books The Weavers of Saramyr (Braided Path #1)

First, a brilliant collection of ideas! The premise, the order of ideas, the way they are revealed, and the way the book is structured is on spot.However. And it is a big however. The writing is sub-par for the content: exceptionally long, cliched descriptions that add nothing to the story, repeated descriptions of human reactions and emotions, an over-feminization of every female character as if looked at through the eyes of one attracted to them and not a mostly impersonal observer or ofThis review of Chris Wooding's "The Weavers of Saramyr" originally appeared in its entirety on www.fantasyliterature.comChris Wooding has once again branched out and attacked another flavour of fantasy.
