I've received a free copy of this book via NetGalley in return for my honest review.

This book was...interesting. The writing and storytelling style was a bit obtuse at times and some of the character choices were hard to understand, but that being said, I genuinely enjoyed this book. I especially appreciated its exploration of the effect that transitioning and transness itself can have on your relationships and people and society's expectations of you. How transition can lead to you suddenly being expected to fill gender roles that oftentimes don't fit and have nothing to do with your gender identity and what that identity means to you. I do wish that the story was longer and more in-depth, but I genuinely enjoyed it as it is, quirks and all.

Wow! what a powerful , intriguing & very emotional story set around what in many cultures even today are often regarded as scary & taboo subjects.
This is the first Book I have read by a writer within the LGBTQIA community even though I have several Family members who are part of that community ,& also over my life time I have had many friends who belonged to that community & who added so much more depth to my simple life over the years.
We all know at some point quite early in our lives that eventually one day our life will end & death will claim us to only knows where , to many of us even though we may in the back of our minds think we accept that, it can & is a scary thing to think or even talk about !
R.B. Lemberg has taken this & woven a very emotional, mystical & profound story about this subject set in settlements around a huge majestic Desert.
The Four Profound Weaves remind us about the stages we go through in life but also illustrate that this can be much harder for some than others ,it also reminds us that `Hope cannot be given away! Hope is a Constant' in all our lives how ever we live them. Within the story the Carpets made `Hope, Song, Sand & Death' had me totally enthralled , as did the journey's the main characters Uiziya who is 63 years old & has spent 40 years in her Tent waiting for her closest relative her aunt Benseret to return & continue her weaving instruction , her companion on the journey is Nen-Sasair & they need to find how to make the Carpet of Death which will be woven from the Bones of the dead which the wicked ruler of Iyar has incarcerated so that Bird cannot take their souls to Heaven or the place in which they will finally rest. This is a Book I hope to Buy & add to my Bookcase & one I will most highly recommend many of my friends & fellow Book lovers to buy & to read.

The Four Profound Weaves is a transformative fable from the Birdverse about identity, individual transition, society, and good vs. evil, Due out 4th Sept 2020 from Tachyon, it's 192 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats.

This is a weirdly beautiful fantasy novel about identity, culture, transformation, hope, and the challenges of finding/making acceptance (not least from ourselves). It's told in alternating PoV. The voices of the narrators are distinct enough that it never became problematic to see which of them was speaking (but the chapters are also labeled to keep them distinct from one another).

The author is sublimely talented. Being directly cast into the novel and feeling completely lost because the narrative itself is unexplained and without context was confusing and uncomfortable. It took me a while to become comfortable in the story. The writing was so beautifully lyrical and sublime that I felt compelled to stick with it and was rewarded by becoming more and more enthralled as the story progressed until the transformative and uplifting ending.

The author weaves pain and anger and futility and longing interspersed with hope and a not ungentle sardonic humor into a fable which tells truth. This will certainly be touted as a queer nonbinary transformational story (and it is that), but it's so much more. The author writes eloquently for all of us who are outsiders, who don't fit easily into the molds imposed by society culture and our own expectations. It's a melancholy parable but also full of hope. The author's style reminds me of Ursula K. Le Guin and Sheri Tepper in some ways. Fans of those author's won't want to miss this one.

Five stars. This is masterfully written. I don't know when the cutoff dates are for the Hugo, but I sincerely hope this one makes the list. It deserves to win.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

I've been having such a good year for novellas, I haven't read a single bad one and this was no different! Queer novellas are pretty much the only thing giving me life right now.

The Four Profound Weaves is a novella set within R.B Lemberg's Birdverse series. It follows a nameless man who has recently transitioned as he searches for a name; and his friend, a weaver, who is searching for her Aunt so she can be taught how to weave from death, the last of the four profound Weaves.

As a newcomer to this series, I won't lie, I did find the first half quite confusing. There is so much history, mythology and worldbuilding that needed to be crammed into such a small novella and I think I probably would've benefited by reading some of the Birdverse series prior to jumping straight into this, just so I had a better understanding of this world. But by the second half, I felt much more comfortable in the world and really enjoyed this!

My absolute favourite thing about this novella is the magic system. Interesting magic systems are of one the best parts of reading fantasy because they're all so unique, and the fact this one was all about weaving was so cool?? I need more crafts and magic in my life! Weaving magic can be created through four elements: wind, for change; sand, for wanderlust; song, for hope; bones, for death. The way these magics influenced the story and world were so interesting. I found the carpets of change, made from wind, particularly amazing: that these carpets are used by individuals who wish to change their bodies to match their identities is just so cool?!

Which leads me to my second favourite thing about this novella, the exploration of gender, expression and identity. God I really just fucking love books that have magic systems that allow for trans and nonbinary individuals. We have evolved past the need for binary magic systems!! I loved how the nameless man explored his new identity but in a way that took into account the fact he'd lived life as a woman for 60 years? The way he embraced the fact he was a man but also that he'd been raised to trade and explore the world, which would usually be a woman's role. It was so great to see that acknowledged? That yes he was a man, but you don't just lose everything that made you who you are for the last 40 years after transitioning?

This was a really great novella. Given the subject matter, there is a great deal of transphobia, dead-naming and misgendering so do be aware of that going in. But I'm definitely very interested in reading more of Lemberg's work set in the Birdverse!

“I turned sixty-three this year; I would sit like this, until I sat among bones... My life has stopped, like a wind trapped in a fist.”

It seems fitting that a story about change would start at point of stasis.

If you like your prose on the poetic side, you’ll love this artful and heart-ful look into love, identity and change. (If you prefer more straightforward language in your novels, you may wish to look elsewhere.) It is truly a beautiful little book. It contains far more emotion than a reader might reasonably expect; a book three times its size would struggle to hold half as much.

Summary:

In as much as this story <i>can</i> be summarized, it is about a weaver, Uiziya, who must seek out her long since exiled aunt to finish learning a difficult magical craft. A nameless man who loves his culture, even when it has no place for him, struggles with what it means to find and live a dream; he is a changer, a man who recently changed his body to match his heart after living for decades as a woman. He and Uiziya have known each other for many many years, but now their two stories begin to intertwine more deeply as they set out to find the great weaver Benesret.

Plus a tyrant needs some serious overthrowing. And there are snakes, lots of snakes.

Characters:

Uiziya - An older woman who must seek her aunt Benesret, the master weaver, in order to learn the final, secret technique for the mystical system of weaving. Bonus points for the fact that, at the age of 63, she definitely marks a type of character you almost never see in literature. She is a skilled older adult woman; not a quirky teen or downtrodden late 20-something—she is just a person who continued to exist past youth and managed, somehow, to avoid that weird multi-media black hole that consumes all women who are not young and conventionally attractive and doesn’t let them appear on the screen, stage, or page again until they fit comfortably in the mold of elderly, grandmotherly wise woman. Man is it nice to find a well developed character who isn’t perpetually 16, 21, or 30.

The nameless man, nen-sasair, son of the sandbirds - A man struggling with the burdens presented by society’s expectations of gender, particularly masculinity. (Another unexpectedly rare character; few trans or gender-nonconforming characters grace the pages of published book and fewer still feature Trans adults who transitioned late in life. And yet this story offers more than one!) The nameless man lived forty years as a woman, knowing all along that that was an ill-fitting identity, that deep down he never had been a woman. He struggles with what his choices mean for his family, for his grandchildren who are supportive but do not truly understand him. He struggles with guilt and an ingrained fear of judgement from others.

I was immediately on board for the concept of this book based on its summary, but a review describing it as an “anti-authoritarian, queer-mystical fairytale” completely had me sold on it. I had to read it. I am glad I did. This short novella is powerful. It is <i>profound</i>.

(I am very grateful that NetGalley and Tachyon Publications approved my request for a review copy.)

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC, in exchange for an honest review.

I was fascinated by the idea of weaving out of death, and I really liked learning about the world and the gods, especially the weaves and their four different purposes. I also really liked that one of the main characters is an elderly and trans; I don't think I've ever read a book with that kind of representation. It was also interesting to read about the different perspectives of trans people, as it was accepted in some cultures but rejected in others.

This is a 3 star read for me because while I liked it, I never truly felt like I connected with the characters — this might be owing to the dual narration. The switches between the different perspectives meant that I never felt like I properly understood the man and Uiziya. Given that this is a novella, I would have preferred it if the story was told from only one perspective.

Nevertheless, this is certainly an original story with diverse characters, and for those reasons I would still recommend it.

'The Four Profound Weaves' is an incredible story, set in a world much different than what we're used to in 'typical' fantasy stories. We're introduced to two main characters - Uiziya e Lali and a nameless man. Both of them are in their prime and have most of their lives behind them and it shows a very different perspective from wildly known ya and adult fantasy books.
The writing gives off kind of a poetic wives that lure you into the narrative full of sorrow, hope and spiritual journey. I really enjoyed the way the 'magic' of weaves was explained and how it worked in the story and how the gender roles were reversed - the women as traders and travelers and the men staying in the establishments.
I must stay it was kind of difficult to tell the difference between our protagonists if not for the POV written under every chapter.
I would recommend it to everyone who's looking for a queer, transgender positive fairy tale and is in search of something outside of a box that will show a different, lyrical and captivating version of fantasy.

Thank you Tachyon Publishing and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book.

In desert lands where weavers can weave cloth from sand and memory, Uiziya has spent years waiting and then searching for her aunt Benesret, the master weaver who creates cloth from bones for a mysterious order of assassins. Though the search holds many dangers, Uiziya keeps going for the sake of knowledge, though she knows the price may be terribly high. With her travels a nameless man who struggles with his own identity and the expectations of society after spending so many years of his life as a woman, wife, and grandmother. The closer each of the travelers comes to achieving their goals, the more they must questions themselves, their identities, and what it is they truly desire in their lives.

Though science fiction and fantasy are genres that, by their very nature, can allow for a breathtaking array of characters and expressions of self, it’s somewhat rare to come across a story that actually deal with the possibilities, realities, and cultural consequences of non-binary and transgender characters. Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness comes to mind, and after that, there’s little else in the SFF “cannon”, save for a transgender character here or a non-binary character over there, with little of their inclusion dealing with the reality of what it might be like, in these strange new worlds, to be someone who does not conform to traditional male or female identities.

With their Birdverse stories, author R.B. Lemberg presents the reader with elegantly written tales in a world where a person’s gender doesn’t necessarily define their destiny. They may begin life as a girl and grow to realize that the gender of their body may not reflect what is in their mind, and vice versa. If they are born into a culture that respects a person’s decision to change, there is a magical process that allows the body to change to reflect who they are. If they are born into a culture that does not respect this, they may spend their lives feeling disjointed, like they’ve been living their lives wrongly somehow– as the nameless man feels. When he talks to people who knew him in his youth, when he was living as a woman, his frustration at not being heard or understood is obvious.

“‘I am not a woman.’

She shrugged. ‘You were brought up to be one. These things are hard to erase, much as you change otherwise.’

This is not the nature of women, but rather the nature of all people who care. Uiziya had told me this once. ‘You can choose to care or not, and that is what people do.’

Sulikhah shrugged again. ‘As you wish.'”

The nameless man’s struggle to be understood is not the only conflict in The Four Profound Weaves, though. Uizya’s quest for knowledge is just as profound, for her aunt Benesret is not a benevolent person. Her knowledge comes with a heavy price. And out in the greater world, a ruler who sees any change as an evil seeks to put an end to progress, to cultural shifts, and to the gender transformations that are a natural part of life to so many people in their world.

The Four Profound Weaves is a remarkable story, and not simply for the heartbreaking and beautiful ways in which it deals with gender norms, cultural expectactions, family, and friendship. In just 192 pages, Lemberg weaves a multi-facted story in which two aging characters still have a lot to learn about themselves, their strengths, and their flaws. Although, while the prose is elegant and lyrical, its beauty can sometimes obfuscate the meaning. But this is a minor issue overall, as it detracts very little from the story. With elegant prose and an understanding of human nature in all its genders, Lemberg weaves a golden tale of human longing, friendship, and hope.

I was not aware going into this book that it was the second in the series, so that may affect my review. I also DNFed at 30%
Going into this book next to no context was given and I was left horribly confused and lost. I never got a hold on how the magic system works. I also dont understand much of the setting and how this world is set up
I could not get attached to either of the main characters of this book. I was excited to read from the POV of elders since thats rare in books. But both these characters felt flat and I couldnt read any difference between their POVs. I was super excited especially about one of the main characters being a trans man, but other than his trans identity he felt very boring. So much of his story and journey revolved around his trans identity.
I also really disliked the writing style. It was very descriptive and slow, and read like some of the books I was forced to read in high school english that I despised, like The Alchemist. Some people may love this but I found it hard to read

Sometimes the actions in a story lack the life necessary to charm the reader, no matter how interesting they may seem. And sometimes the action begins so prematurely and so suddenly that it leaves the reader completely lost at sea from the start.

Maybe it's because this seems to be the second book in this universe and I have not read the first, but the author seemed to think that I was supposed to know what they were talking about from the get-go. No explanation was given for events, people or terms and I found myself grappling for a good deal of this short volume so that I could understand the references being presented. By the time I had a somewhat weak grasp on things, I was done reading. The Four Profound Weaves is quite short in length, but context nonetheless lacked even though there was plenty of room for including it.

This story is told from twin POVs: Uiziya e Lali and the nameless man's (who later gives himself the title of “nen-sasair”). Both have a reason for leaving the settlement they currently inhabit, and go on their “epic adventure” together for support as well as need. It was often difficult to tell one POV from the other, because neither of these two characters stand out in tone. Had it not been for the fact that their sections are titled with their names, I would have had no trouble believing it was the same one leading the narrative for most of this book. Only near the end, when the two arrive at the court of the Ruler of Iyar, do they become slightly more distinguishable—and that's only because their paths are forced apart.

The idea of how those who are weavers use their magic, however, was inventive. Uiziya e Lali's creation of the carpet of death, especially, was absolutely incredible. That was the one instance when I felt the time was truly taken to flesh out this story and make us connect with the somber atmosphere of the scene while she discovered and developed her skill—albeit rather fast despite the fact that she'd never done it before. And the myth of what comes to pass when the carpets of sand, air, song and death come together was intriguing even if it didn't develop into much other than finally seeing a vision of the goddess Bird.

I appreciated and respected the representation of the characters' need and ability to change their gender when the time and moment arrived for them. For that alone, the book is worth a try—and it will speak to many. But, overall it was weak in its ability to dazzle or even entertain the majority of the time.

(REVIEW TO APPEAR AT www.fantasy-hive.co.uk )

Some novellas are like short novels, others feel more like long short stories. Neither is necessarily better, but The Four Profound Weaves (due 4th September) struck me as one of the latter - and a very good one, too.

The novella is an interesting length for a story. Long enough for the narrative to stretch its wings a bit, but not long enough to allow any excess baggage. Worldbuilding has to be off-stage, for the most part; plot has to be focused. You have to be careful cramming too many characters in, as they won’t all have time and space to breathe.

And yet, a good novella - like this one - can somehow tell a large story in a small space, projecting beyond its boundaries, creating whole worlds, complex narratives, large casts, all despite showing only a fraction of it on the page. I’ve read some great novellas - Ring Shout by P. Djèlí Clark, or The Sorcerer of the Wildeeps by Kai Ashante Wilson, and of course Martha Wells’ Murderbot Diaries - but I hadn’t read one quite like The Four Profound Weaves.

This is the story of two people from different societies, both older, both trans, both lost and unfulfilled. One, the desert weaver Uiziya, is waiting for her outcast aunt to return and teach her the last of the titular magical weaves. The other, a man with no name, is looking for the place he belongs as a man, after living so long as a woman. Unwilling to return to his rigid, segregated society in an enclave of the city of Iyar, he also wishes to find Uiziya’s aunt, in hopes of finding a name - and through it, maybe a home.

They come together on the journey, of course, and - of course - it is not as straightforward as they hoped. The last profound weave is death, and the tyrant of Iyar also wants it for his collection. There’s magic, mysteries, and marvels, and hints of a rich underlying mythos (this story is part of the author’s “Birdverse” setting, though it’s the first I’ve read). On the surface, it’s quite a simple and satisfying story - but the surface isn’t the whole story, especially here.

As I said before, The Four Profound Weaves struck me stylistically as a long short story rather than a short novel. The prose is simple but elegant, unafraid to use repetition for emphasis or rhythm, or to leave other things to the reader’s imagination (description is sparse, for example). The story wears its themes on its sleeves, so to speak, tackling head-on the challenges of change vs. stasis, and the danger of being chained to a past, or to people who don’t want what’s best for you. It’s a story about trans characters and trans experiences, but a story that (I hope) anyone can understand, relate to, and enjoy.

In conclusion, The Four Profound Weaves is modern speculative fiction at its best, exploring important issues through compelling characters, fantastic settings, and exciting stories. It’s also a gorgeous book, if the illustrations in my digital ARC were anything to go by (thanks to NetGalley and Tachyon for providing).

This is one of the few books with a really useful and accurate blurb, so I won't add too much in plot summary for you. I found it was unlike anything I've read before, with two elderly protagonist who have full lives behind them still finding themselves, in a world split between transitory desert traders and the immutable city. The desert wanderers welcome change, altering their nature and gender as desired, while that's unaccepted in the city. Uiziya the weaver is set on a journey to find the aunt who trained her in simple weaving, in order to advance her skills, but finds the cost of the profound weaves is high. The nameless man is entangled with her journey, having left behind his life before to live accepted as a man with people who are different from everything he's known before, we uncover the layers of what has drawn him here as the story goes.
The writing is beautiful, pacing very different from your standard fantasy, I loved getting to know the characters, and the journey venturing into a world with bird gods, flying carpets and mountains of bones is so unusual. It takes a slow, thoughtful course, pondering the conflict between change and stability, the cruelty that rigid stability can wreak on the individual. In a novella length this packs a massive punch. I did feel a bit like I lacked pieces of worldbuilding that either already exist in the previous short works set in this world, or could have been expanded on if this were a full length novel, but I look forward to finding out.

I thought I would like this book in the same way I thought I would like A Wizard of Earthsea. I mean, this is a book written about non-binary and trans characters in a fantasy world where people weave carpets of sand, wind, song, and bones. But when it came down to it, this book was slow, all over the place, and plot driven, three elements that made this book something I can't recommend.
Lemberg jumps into the novel without explaining, leaving readers to pick up what's happening along the way. I didn't mind this approach, and much prefer it to the long drawn out part where authors tend to explain the world, including why their world is unique or different from the Earth we know. However, Lemberg also spends long amounts of time explaining over and over again the differences that this non-binary character faces because they don't follow gender norms. This continues to be spread out and re-explained in slightly different context. I was mostly bothered by it because it seems the only thing to be fully explained throughout the book, and wouldn't have minded it if it was explained once and done with, but it is dragged throughout the book.
Why did Uiziya spend so long waiting for her aunt to return and teach her more about the four profound weaves? Why did she not build a loom herself, or explore other weaving that she was interested in? There never felt like any good explanations for these key elements of the book that drove the plot forward.
For a plot driven book, this felt very random. None of the pieces of the plot were expected or really felt like they came together in the end. I've heard people rave about this book, and its lyrical prose (which I didn't find to be lyrical at all), but unfortunately there were too many things that made this book a miss for me.

This is a tough one to get into. It's a fascinating premise, and the magic system is equally fascinating and incomprehensible, with its weaves of air and hope and bone. I don't know if it would make more sense if I'd read the short stories that precede it, but I found that if I floated with the current of the story I could sort of skim along the surface and not get too confused. The language is poetic and layered and difficult and I felt the author was talking around what they wanted to say, but while it frustrated me at first in the end I got used to it. The ending was powerful and moving and I love how all the threads get tied together and feel that it wrapped everything up pretty well.

Also I am HERE for two older (60s) trans leads off on an adventure to start anew after years of hardly living.

Was this review helpful?

I liked the idea of the world but I didn't care about the characters. There were two perspectives, Uiziya and The Nameless man, and I couldn't tell the difference between them. The inner dialogue is so similar that, at first, I didn't even know it was from different perspectives. I didn't enjoy the writing or the pacing either.

I think The Four Profound Weaves is unlike anything else I've ever read before. I am honestly amazed at this book and the complexity of it; at the same time I can't quite make my mind up on what I feel about this book and whether I even liked it as such, much less can I come up with a rating that accurately reflects my feelings.

I don't have the slightest clue as how to feel about this book. I even had a hard time recounting this plot because I genuinely couldn't really remember it, even though I read it yesterday. So, I think I'm going to be completely upfront about the fact that this plot didn't make any lasting impressions on me, nor do I remember much of their quest to get the weave back. However, while I might be feeling this way there are a bunch of things about this book that I genuinely liked.

The magic system in this book was simply amazing. It's deep, it's pretty complicated and very detailed and at the start of this book I was pretty confused but then I got it and I was fascinated. To me this was super interesting and something I'd like to explore more in this universe, so even though I have mixed feelings about this book in particular, I might be picking another book from this universe up.

Moreoever, the writing in this book is absolutely stunning, The language is straight up beautiful, it's frankly breathtaking and I really appreciated reading a book where the writing is good. I would love to read more by this author because of how they write, honestly.

I was really a big fan of the inclusion of trans people and of how trans people were talked about and handled, basically. I mean, I am a cis person so I know it's not really my place to judge but the way gender was handled and how trans people were written as just...naturally occuring, where people can transition (not just gender, but their whole sex too) without it being judged much felt so very uplifting, even to me as a cis person. Like being trans was just something a lot of people were, and no one was judged by it. That felt truly amazing. My heart hurt a lot because of how the Khana people treated trans people, and the way they kept misgendering and deadnaming the nameless man. Again, I'm cis and I have never been exposed to transphobia directed at me, but from this book I think I get a bit of an idea just how horrible that must be.

With all of this being said, I don't know how to rate this book. I mean, as for many individual aspects of it I definitely loved them but my overall impression is still a bit mixed. I think a big reason of why you like a book is usually the plot and like I said before I felt no strong connection to it, and could hardly even remember it despite having finished this book less than 24 hours before writing this review. I'm going to just give up and give this book three stars because at this point I can't pinpoint my feelings any clearer than this.

However, this is not a bad book. If you're a big reader of fantasy and like diverse books with amazing writing and an interesting magic system I would definitely suggest you check this universe out because you could do much, much worse than this.

A book that teaches us about love, freedom, growth and transformation, the importance of being and letting others be, and especially that all lives matter.

Ooof. I'm not going to lie, I actually think I was too dumb for this book? It's such a short story and yet it took me an eternity to get through it and though I enjoyed the parts that I understood, it also made me question my intelligence too often for me to...you know...like the book.
There was a lot of repetition in here and at times I had no idea who was speaking and that on top of the fact that the concepts explained went straight over my head (I feel like they would have fit better in a longer book instead of a novella), I just had a hard time staying engaged. Nevertheless, loved the diverse and queer rep, so yay for that!

Was this review helpful?

Powerful, magical, lyrical, and beautifully original, The Four Profound Weaves is one of those books where you linger over each paragraph, admiring the flow of words almost as much as the flow of ideas. R.B. Lemberg weaves – quite literally – a tale of change that encompasses the transformation of bodies, families, and identities.

This is not a coming-of-age tale but one of facing-your-own-mortality, an epic fantasy featuring two elderly characters from different cultures, connected by their changes, their magic, and their families. Uiziya changed when she was young, becoming a woman in a culture that accepts and embraces her, which welcomes her as part of a community. Nen-sasair changed much later in life, becoming a man rejected by his culture and his lovers, an outcast who struggles to find his place. Both are seeking Benesret, exiled for weaving death, leading them to the Ruler of Iyar, a madman who seeks to end the ultimate change, death.

Gender permeates every page of this, from cultures to people to magic. We are introduced to a culture where gender is fluid, where men and women mix openly, where women weave magic but must give up both agency and magic in marriage; and another where gender is rigid and segregated, a world where men are isolated and veiled, where women live and love together, forbidden to sing or build.

Like gender, magic infuses every page of this as well, beginning with the mythology of Bird and Kimri (which I’m curious to know about) and ending with the magic of weaving. Flying carpets and ravenous diamondflies. Weaves of change and hope. The magic of death, of bones, of lives stolen and spirits captured. It’s a beautiful story, but a dark and sorrowful one as well, marked by pain, sacrifice, and love.

While I don’t re-read a lot of books, I’m looking forward to sitting down and immersing myself in the paperback of The Four Profound Weaves once it’s released. There’s such a depth of meaning to it all, I’m confident I’ll uncover a whole other reading.
