A review by tzurky
Underlord by Will Wight
5.0
This is the literary equivalent of a sugar rush. And after a period of forced reading for work and for one of my courses I just had to dip into a little junk food for the mind.
And this hit just the right spot. It is utterly predictable, just like all the previous ones and by virtue of the story itself but it’s also an incredibly enjoyable ride. The technique-building or the magic system, if you will, is very well thought-out, though not lacking for some Deus ex. The action scenes are very gripping and well-written and I have grown to love the characters. Yes, even Lindon, that sad sack.
The only problem is that I now have to wait for the author to finish the next one. That’s going to be tough. Ah, well, at least he’s no GRRM.
