tl;dr: Wintersteel is an outstanding second half to the Uncrowned story arc and is a notable entry in the Cradle series.
The Cradle series is an exciting mix of wuxia, magic and science fiction. People on the world in this series practice The 'Way' - a blend of magic combined with martial arts. Their place in this world is based on their mastery of 'The Way'. It is intricate. There are multiple levels ranging from Copper (the lowest) to Monarch, Sage and beyond (the highest we know of so far). There are many 'Paths' with unique abilities that the practitioners can follow - Blackflame, Hollow Domain, Redmoon, Stormcallers etc. Also, there are multiple techniques within each of these paths - Ruler, Striker and so on. And, there are different kinds of Madra (mana) that can be produced and consumed - blood madra, pure madra, hunger madra to name a few. As I said, it is a complicated system.
