Notes
- From the series record (The Braided Path): Complete Gollancz-published secondary-world epic fantasy trilogy (2004-2005) set in the feudal-Japan-inflected Near World, with a weaving-based magic system practiced by the titular Weavers. Wooding's first adult fantasy work, distinguished from his prolific YA output.
