The Path
Sheadon was a priest, and then the goddess he served killed him, or so he thought. He wakes up years later with no memory of who he is or what happened, just with the fact that he lost time, and a lot of it.
Nhara is a Daughter of Stone. A powerful mage, on a quest to find a cure for her sister. She’s sent out on a pilgrimage to complete a rite of passage, but everything goes wrong. In the end she finds a young man, with no memory, but he holds magic that may be the key to what she has been seeking.
Astrid and Landon are Chroniclers, priests who serve the gods. Dispatched by their order after a new Celestial Artifact was sensed. They are on a mission, to retreive the artifact before anyone else. However other factions have begun to move as well, seeking to find the power many thought lost.
The gods and mortals have begun to move as an old power is born anew. Fate has cast her dice, and the battle for an ancient power thought lost has begun again.

Enjoyed reading The Path. I did struggle to get into the story for the first 30 pages, but after that point, it was smooth sailing. There were several moments where I laughed incredibly hard and reread passages and other times I cringed at the bloody battle scenes. Some soldiers got ripped apart. RIP.
I like the way magic is characterized as "weaving" the core energy of a person. It adds interesting visuals and shows how intricate the more powerful, intense weaves are. I thought the idea that as weavers get more experienced, their type of magic can influence their personalities was an interesting layer. I'm curious if that is going to factor in later, though I think we saw it a bit with some of the characters already. I do think some of the explanations of weaving and how it operated were repetitious throughout the novel, but I think the Author was trying to make sure the readers understood.
I'd say my favorite character is Astrid, who I relate to much more to than the other characters. Her refusal to blindly follow her religion offers an interesting contrast to Landon and showcases the different approaches people have to their most deeply held beliefs. I also think her magic combo is the coolest of the various types of magic shown. Also, I'm a big fan of the Twins.
But boy, do I have questions. Most of which are about the Daughters of Stone—specifically, why are they more powerful than any other magic sect. This is something that is obviously going to be addressed in future books as the secret behind their power is briefly hinted at.
There is a decent amount of foreshadowing for what will be explored in future novels, and I'm excited to get more answers and see the characters continue to develop. Overall, I'm already invested, and I was glad to read that the Author is working on the second book already.

Very high ceiling for this one
Pretty good for the most part. The ground work has been set, so book 2 is probably going to make or break the series for me. Overall I’d say give this book a shot, it’s well worth it.

Well written and nicely paced storyline. A nice mix of mystery and foreshadowing with the main character that has me excited for the next book.
