Chronicle In Favor Of Books Escaping Destiny (Tapestry Chronicles #1)

An ebony finger points skyward, emerging from the center of Node. Known simply as The Gate, it disappears into the clouds, massive spokes extending from the immense structure to stretch through the streets of the largest human city. No one knows who built the towering obelisk, but all are aware of those who have been entrusted as its caretakers. They call themselves The Maat. Otherworldly creatures, their humanoid forms move with an unholy speed and grace, their bodies little more than quicksilver fluid inside a malleable membrane. Pierce that membrane and they will die. Wielding a living crystalline blade, each warrior of The Maat is encased in patchwork leather armor, the suit carved piece by piece from their vanquished enemies. Once their membrane is shielded in the tanned flesh of their enemies, they become an unstoppable foe. The Maat have simply observed the beings of the world Tapestry, watching as threads of fate are woven into patterns only The Maat can comprehend. A prophecy that thirteen mortals will change all of the worlds connected through The Gate has begun to unfold. As the armies of darkness and light struggle to claim the mortals as their own, The Maat begin to interfere with human affairs. One by one, the thirteen mortals are swayed or captured. The lines between good and evil are blurred in the name of power and righteousness. Kai Oakman is one of the thirteen mortals that is spoken of in the prophecy. With his faerie lover, Ko'laru, he seeks a different way. He too gathers those spoken of in prophesy to his side, seeking to thwart fate and live their own lives freely in whatever manner they choose. As the noose around them tightens, as all of reality is swept up in the prophesied change, the mortals seek to escape their destiny but that choice may no longer be theirs to make.

Criticism Epithetical Books Escaping Destiny (Tapestry Chronicles #1)

Good character development and great unique fantasy read. I just wish the overall plot/theme would have been expressed more. I totally didn't understand anything about what these 13 mortals were supposed to do. Maybe mentioning the prophecy more would have helped. Also seemed strange to introduce the first character in the first few chapters and then regulate her to a minor role.

When I first started this I thought it was just a transcription of a gamer's quest, but I kept at it. The storyline of this one is a bit confusing, hopping from one character to another, but the overall story arc is really neat, uplifting and fulfilling. I'm not sure I could try to develop a novel structure similar to this one, but I think Mr Pierce WAS able to pull it off effectively.

Escaping Destiny. It sounds difficult, and the unlikely group of people who meet up for a very strange voyage can vouch that it is difficult. Kai the warrior and his Fae lover and friend Kolaru lead a group of people of an enormous variety of training over a path that is surprising, dangerous and full of enemies, visible and invisible. Will they succeed in their quest?I dont know, as this is the first book of three. It was a very enjoyable and captivating read, absolutely worth my money and

Excellent Story! Escaping Destiny is the first in the Tapestry Series, and it's set in a very detailed universe with several worlds. The characters were believable and consistent. I found myself drifting into the author's world. The book pulls you in from the very first chapter and then leaves you wanting more. I will defiantly be looking for book 2 of the series.

So far this one is kind of odd...We'll see if I keep reading it...

Need fantasy, need to escape the humdrum of the day? Then buy this book and get a wonderful fantasy story that keeps you turning pages and helps you escape the here and now. The author does a great job of twisting this tale and tickling the fantasy bone in us all.

This book is pretty good but I thought it had some flaws. The main issue I had was I didn't feel connected to the characters. I felt the need for a little more back story for at least some of the them. The author literally drops the characters and the reader in the middle of the action without much of a back story. I will probably read the next book if there is one because I hope the Author expands on this more
