Underlord is an unputdownable, pedal to the floor, rush of a book. It manages to tick all the boxes - Fan-f***ing-tastic action, a pace that 'fast' does not adequately describe and characters that are unforgettable. Now, all of these characteristics are part of Will Wight's standard bag of tricks. But, in addition to all of these, this book also has way more humour than in previous iterations which went a long way in making the uber-fast pace more comfortable to read. I also liked how Linden act...

OK this is getting repetitive. Another 5* installment in this great seriesI loved Ghostwater and I wasn't sure this could top it, but you know what I think maybe it did. How could anything be cooler than an underwater pocket world? Well how about the Akura Clan's own personal Night Valley?! Ok maybe not quite as cool, but what you don't know is where this book hands down beats its predecessor - tension.I cant recall ever being so flat out worried that the gang weren't going to make it. Up to now...

May the Dread Gods take you Will WightNever in my life have I been so happy and yet so filled with rage and despair. Fifteen hours have passed since I downloaded this book, and aside from the seven hours I slept, I've done nothing but read it. Now it's done. Finished! Just like that! What am I to do now? Wait for your next release? ...I mean, probably...

The one with the greatest characters development yet. Can't get enough of this superb series.

Such insane power. Such insane fun. That, in a nutshell, is the Cradle series, and Underlord is its current pinnacle.Underlord was everything that its title promised adoring fans (including yours truly), and so much more. The Prologue was so ridiculously epic it gave me goosebumps, and all the awesomeness that was the Cradle series came crashing down on me again. I tried to prolong the enjoyment by keeping myself occupied with things to do, to avoid finishing the book too quickly. Alas, it barel...

The name of this book and what it suggests is killing me with anticipation.After reading-Honestly I'm relieved. I was worried that something would go wrong and I wouldn't like it, but it's even better than I thought it would be. I'm not going to do a real review, but I might after rereading it a few times. All the stuff below will be random thoughts and stream of consciousness stuff. Don't expect quality.Questions:(view spoiler)[ Are Jai Long and his sister at the Sacred Valley yet? I don...

**POSSIBLE SPOILERS CONTAINED WITHIN**This book is wonderful. I loved it as much as the last 5. The epilogue.. THE EPILOGUE. Woah guys! I can’t wait for the next installment in the Cradle series. Lindon, Yerin and Mercy’s transformations - especially Yerins - are amazing. Nothing short of what I expected from our main characters. You see a more vulnerable side to Yerin in this book, which I love. She’s that badass Sword Sage apprentice, who’s facing death defying odds - literally - and comes out...

10/09/2019 Notes:I'm on book 7 and sad cause that means I've caught up.

4.5/5 starsThe release of Underlord last year marked the exact moment I decided I have to read Cradle this year, and I can agree that this is the best of the series so far.To elaborate upon what sparked my curiosity further, Underlord has a consistent and insanely high rating ever since its publication day. During the time of posting this review, the average rating of Underlord on Goodreads sits at 4.69 out of 6,450 ratings; on Amazon (US) it has an average rating 4.9 out of 1,049 ratings, and n...

3rd reading:This is the end of the 2nd omnibus of books 4-6 and they make a great story arc together. Books 4-6 Lindon and company spend their time as Golds. This book opens up the story to a new level. We continue to learn more about the world and keep seeing it expand.I do have a question. In this book, they mention that the Blackflame empire has less aura in their lands as others and that makes little sense to me. They have forest, mountains, the Serpent's Grave city of dead dragons and I wou...

Buddy read with SnezanaUnderlord is the sixth book in The Cradle series, it’s not only my favorite book but the first book I shelf under adult in the series, the characters are still teenagers but the events in this book are so not YA. The magic system keeps going up, apparently the caste/ level after true gold is Underlord.The events in this book picked up just where Ghostwater ended, this book features lots of new revelations. We finally know why Mercy left home, Eithan’s plan is unfolding and...

Shut up and take my 💰💰💰

The great clans of the world often measure themselves by the strength of their youth. Because of this a tournament is coming. The participants will be young Underlords. The Blackflame Empire has been ordered by the Akura Clan to prepare themselves. They have been given the opportunity to train in an Akura family territory that is rich with vital aura, but there is a catch. They will be competing for the training ground's resources and spots in the tournament against the Seishen Kingdom. Each fac...

My first full 5 stars in the Cradle series!This book had it all. I cheered, I cried tears of sadness and of joy, I wished for the book to strech further so I could prolong the fun and emotional ride I embarked on. And I laughed out loud (guys, you don't want to miss out the Bloopers at the end of the (amazing) epilogue! BLOOPERS!)I hope I'll have the time to write something more coherent soon!

This series is so good! I really liked this one. Here Lindon, Yerin and Mercy need to reflect on why they want to master the sacred arts, which was a great opportunity to evolve both them and the series. It made this entry feel more meaningful than previous ones.Also, I really love Mercy and she get's to shine in this one!

Update 4/7/22: I read this in 2 days....on my 3rd reread. Freakin love this entry🔥🔥🔥Update 9/7/21: Still just as good! Cant wait for book 10, Reaper in November!!5 star reread in anticipation of book 8 coming out in October!!! Love this series!

Executive Summary: This is might be my favorite of the series thus far, and it's at least the best book since Blackflame. Full Review I really loved this book and this series. I think if I had started reading it during the weekend it came out instead of a few days later and I'd have read it in 1-2 days instead of 4. Every time I picked it up, I just wanted to keep reading, but often I either didn't have enough time, or I was too tired to concentrate properly.After how much I loved Blackflame,

For me, the best book since Blackflame. What an ending!! :O :O :OSuper enjoyable entry in the Cradle series, especially as I didn't care too much for books 4 & 5. Obviously a massive part of the progression fantasy sub-genre is, well, progression. It was beginning to feel too fast, which removed the stakes/lessened the impact somewhat.I'm not entirely sure how Will Wight did it, but this book solidified working hard for the improvements and made every progression feel meaningful. Adored Mercy (s...
