Über diesen Titel

Two transgender elders must learn to weave from Death in order to defeat an evil ruler - in the debut full-length work set in R. B. Lemberg's award-winning queer fantasy Birdverse universe

The Surun' nomads do not speak of the master weaver, Benesret, who creates the cloth of bone for assassins in the Great Burri Desert. But aged Uiziya must find her aunt in order to learn the final weave, although the price for knowledge may be far too dear to pay.

Among the Khana in the springflower city of Iyar, women travel in caravans to trade, while men remain in the inner quarter, as scholars. A nameless man struggles to embody Khana masculinity, after many years of performing the life of a woman, trader, wife, and grandmother.

As his past catches up, the nameless man must choose between the life he dreamed of and Uiziya - while Uiziya must discover how to challenge the evil Ruler of Iyar, and to weave from deaths that matter.

In this breathtaking debut set in R. B. Lemberg's beloved Birdverse, The Four Profound Weaves offers a timeless chronicle of claiming one's identity in a hostile world.

The story is nuanced, woven like the magic it tells of. I really liked the magic system and world-building, as well as the characters we get to follow on their journeys. Especially the two main characters are absolutely beautifully written, their similarities and differences making it easier to understand them in their complexities.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves themselves some fantastic world building and journeys of self-discovery - especially since in this case we don't get the typical youngsters but older people with the hopes, regrets, scars and experiences having formed them throughout long lives. In tone with all the rest of the book, we get to see how change doesn't care for age, how it affects that which has changed a lot already.
The narrator has a great "campfire voice", it's been a pleasure to listen - I'll do so again.

Wholly magical and profoundly human
