CHOO CHOOOO! THE TRAIN IS STILL CHUGGING!

Can't believe I'm near the end of Cradle, this series has been a WILD ride! I can't believe Will Wight has managed to keep this fast-paced, gripping, exhilarating, beautiful, wholesome and dark world this good so consecutively in a row.

This is peak Progression Fantasy, Wight's a goddamn master of it! So now the main characters are overpowered, so how do we balance that out? Have them fight multiple foes of higher power!

We see the return of Dross!
I'm so happy he's back!
Loved his progression and loved the explanation of why he didn't return to his personality, I love how human he is.

I'm absolutely loving Ziel, I liked him before already, his backstory, his hardships and his warming up to the gang. It was so heartwarming seeing him trying to make Lindon and Yerin feel better after Eithen ascended, by jumping out of couches and scaring them, like Eithen would do.

Mercy has felt shelved away for the past few books and I've really only noticed how much now.
I could see Wight setting her up to being so far behind that when she soars and grows it will feel really satisfying
, and it sorta did.

While Lindon and Yerin and the rest of the gang advance through study, training and hardwork and determination, Mercy is advancing her character.
She has access to her book and can be archlord anytime she wants, she has the power,
but she needs to advance her person and reveal her true self, the Mercy that stands up to her mother.
And we saw that in this book, and it felt so fucking satisfying 🥳🥳🥳


This is one of my favourites, I'm absolutely dying to get onto the 12th and final book, Waybound 😍
