Synopsis

The final part of the critically acclaimed Braided Path trilogy

The war that is tearing apart the ancient Empire of Saramyr is reaching its apocalyptic conclusion. The Weavers have stepped from the shadows and taken control, the capital is a demon-haunted nightmare, the land ridden by pestilence. New, terrifying demons, immune to all but magic, have been unleashed on the cities and armies of the resistance movement. And the Aberrant hordes are seemingly without end.

As the madness of the weavers takes hold their tactics become even more crazed and bloody, and thousands are dying on both sides. Someone must stop the weavers, someone must discover the secrets of what lies at the bottom of the massive pits they have dug across Saramyr.

This is the final volume of what has proved to be one of the most original, exotic and exciting epic fantasies of the 21st century. Chris Wooding melds an extraordinary imagination with deft characterisation and a flair for gripping plots.

Definitely the best book in the series and you can't complain too much if the series finishes with the strongest of the trilogy can you. Overall, it was a pretty good story, I think the second book put me at risk of stalling starting book three as it lost my interest for a while. The Ascendancy veil......more

Goodreads review by Pauline

I have to confess to some disappointment with this, the final part of the 'Braided Path' trilogy. The first two were terrific, with great world-building, a brilliant magic system and a suitably apocalyptic threat to be dealt with, and if some of the characters were not all that interesting, it hardl......more

Goodreads review by Nathan

The conclusion to a very unique fantasy series. I will post my thoughts on the series as a whole. The Braided Path is a very unique epic fantasy series. It is set in a world with a feudal Japan feel where true magic is only a few hundred years old, so society is being transformed in ways that it stil......more
