Fun and fast paced - a solid, tidy little adventure with more than a few glimpses at a MUCH larger world.
Who doesn't love a plucky, clever underdog? Unsouled is a super quick and enjoyable adventure that quickly has you rooting for our protagonist. I found myself devouring this book much quicker, and caring for our character far deeper, than I thought I would!
I was very impressed at how Wight was able to hint toward a massive universe and create a tremendous amount of intrigue for the far future of the series, while also creating very real stakes that we care about for our much weaker protagonist. I'm super excited to see where this series will go, but also care deeply about our current adventures.
I was very pleasantly surprised by Unsouled, and I'm already planning on jumping into the next in the series!

Fun book! Starts as a pretty typical East-Asian inspired martial-arts fantasy story, but takes an unexpected turn which lays the foundation for the rest of the story. Definitely get some ATLA and Dragon Ball vibes (there is literally a flying nimbus equivalent) but learning about the different techniques, paths, and magic items is cool. The story also flows so well. Each chapter ends naturally in the middle of a scene, and then the next starts with the next beat in that same scene. I can definitely see why this series is so addicting.
Tone is a little weird; sometimes I can’t tell if the book is trying to be funny or not. Also, I wanted more shonen-style action, but I imagine that picks up in later books. Will definitely continue.
A fascinating read that does a good job of setting up a much larger series. I am looking forward to reading more. The start was a little slow, and it is definitely a slightly unconventional coming of age story. I am more excited about the future books in the series than I was about this introduction.
I found this a really engaging story in a fascinating world, very accessible and easy to read. It is filled with world building, setting the plot of the protagonist Lindon and awesome action. I understand that emotional story beats and character work for other characters than Lindon will come a bit later in the series. Still, I think the choices here were interesting.
I get where people come up with the references to anime. It has a similar plot and even has a bit of an isekai vibe and is clear progression fantasy. Although I'm on board with Lindon's struggle and quest, I'm still a bit iffy on the larger world/universe/multiverse? whatever it is, it was not particularly clear yet and I did not enjoy reading these parts as much as the Lindon parts.
Curious how the series is continuing...definitely sticking with it for now!
