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.Rating Appertaining To Books The Weavers of Saramyr (Braided Path #1)

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 andFirst 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
A beautifully executed first volume. The descriptive text is astounding!
I read this book some years ago on the recommendation of some website or another based on my enjoyment of fantasy and scifi books, and I'm sorry to say that I really disliked it. I had already ordered the second book in the series and I ended up paperbackswapping them both away before I even bothered reading the second.It's serviceable enough to some extent, though somewhat flat, and the plot is extremely creative at times, but my main bitch is and will remain that it suffers from the Bad Guy is
I didn't hate it but the story is too scattered for me to connect with the characters. The are some parts that bothered me greatly like when the Weavers were first introduced, their atrocities are too public yet no one not even the empress dare stop it. I didn't buy the 'they are too important now to dismiss' because no one should have let them get into power in the first place with all their evil bared openly for all to see. Maybe one or half of the greedy nobles but all of them? and for all

This book just couldn't grab me. I never could quite figure out how the magic system worked, which was important because the magic system was always being used. I just couldn't put together how it was described with how it worked. I guess I'm too used to the Sanderson style magic system, where things are a little more firm.The characters started out very compelling, but as the story carried on they started doing more and more uncharacteristic things without any clear description on their thought
