Wow, I love this book, and this series! I can’t believe that I’m actually saying this, but I believe that it’s unseated my all-time favorite series (Codex Alera by Jim Butcher) and taken 1st place (and, I’m saying this before the Cradle series ARC has been completed)… Will Wight’s fantastic writing and the nods he makes towards other High Fantasies, is just gravy, in particular, references to the Stormlight Archive, by Brandon Sanderson. Then there’s the fabulous imagery that is painted across every one of Will Wight’s pages, it’s almost as if you were participating/watching an action-packed anime which for me, makes this, the Best ever. Will, also manages to inject humor throughout the book, so it’s not all martial fighting, don’t forget we’ve got the affable Underlord Eithan, and Dross, and both tend to make some of the most off the wall, nearly hysterically funny comments, when you least expect ’em…
You’ll Need this book so you can find out if Lindon, Yerin, and Mercy can reach for the power and the status that comes with gaining the strength of a Underlord… something that Lindon, never in his wildest dreams, could have ever hoped for!
Let Travis Baldree’s always excellent narration, take you on the continuing adventure!
