Underlord by Will Wight

4.0

Another great entry in the Cradle series.

Once again, Wei Shi Lindon is advancing. This is the first time in the series that he truly feels like a force of nature, and it’s extremely fun to watch him brawl with characters that would have smashed him to bits just last book.

The fights were exceptionally good in this book, and they are lent intensity by the bonds that we now share with the core cast. I care deeply about Lindon and Yerin’s relationship, and Mercy became a much more impactful character in this book alongside them.

Eithan has been the highlight of the series by far for me and we get to see a good amount of him in Underlord. Almost everything he did in this book made me cackle. His presence is a delight, and with every subsequent book he cements himself further as one of my all time favorite characters.

What else can I say? I devoured this book, as I have with every Cradle book past the first one. They’re so fun, easy to read, and memorable. I’m so glad I’ve gone on this journey, and I’m sad that I’m already halfway done.
