I don't really know how to rate these anymore。 They've traded most of what I really liked about the first three or four for what feels like a rush to get through advancement and to the end。。。 whatever the end is。 I still find myself caring about the end though， so I'll keep reading them。 It feels more like work than fun though。 I don't really know how to rate these anymore。 They've traded most of what I really liked about the first three or four for what feels like a rush to get through advancement and to the end。。。 whatever the end is。 I still find myself caring about the end though， so I'll keep reading them。 It feels more like work than fun though。 。。。more

Outstanding series！ Very interesting magic system， great character development， and intriguing plot。 Very much a series that is extremely difficult to put down once you start reading it and results in many sleepless night where you promise to stop after just one more chapter but never quite do。

So I actually prepared myself， almost already knowing for a fact that this would not be as good as Uncrowned and Wintersteel。 Which would have been hard to top。 And it wasn't。 I think the primary and secondary plot overshadowed the character development and interactions a lot。 And I'm not surprised， even GRR Martin struggled with that the further along he got。。。 Still it was a petty good read。 So I actually prepared myself， almost already knowing for a fact that this would not be as good as Uncrowned and Wintersteel。 Which would have been hard to top。 And it wasn't。 I think the primary and secondary plot overshadowed the character development and interactions a lot。 And I'm not surprised， even GRR Martin struggled with that the further along he got。。。 Still it was a petty good read。 。。。more

This book was not my favorite。 We pretty much knew what would happen within Sacred Valley。 Very repetitive。

After several and 8 books Lindon is finally returning home。 But he is the same and he is not alone。 Unfortunately， the people he left behind are。 After three very strong books this one is a little slower and handles the subject of returning to something where you have evolved a lot， but your past hasn't。 The book is spot on on the power it has to a person doing that。 Secondly， the last half really pushes the team to new levels， and this time the cost might be too high。 After several and 8 books Lindon is finally returning home。 But he is the same and he is not alone。 Unfortunately， the people he left behind are。 After three very strong books this one is a little slower and handles the subject of returning to something where you have evolved a lot， but your past hasn't。 The book is spot on on the power it has to a person doing that。 Secondly， the last half really pushes the team to new levels， and this time the cost might be too high。 。。。more

More fun goodness in the Cradle series。 Lindon finally went home to Sacred Valley and the reunion wasn’t quite how he pictured it。 The main plot probably didn’t move forward quite as much in this book， but the ending was great and set up the next book nicely。

Decent。 Solid new entry， yes it's not as good as the previous two books but it's well worth a read regardless。 Decent。 Solid new entry， yes it's not as good as the previous two books but it's well worth a read regardless。 。。。more

Not to be confused with Bloodline， by Conn Iggulden， which we reviewed last year。 I'm sure that won't confuse the search algorithms for the site at all。 This happens to also be the first book whose title is not strongly reflected by a component in the book; the closest I came up with for the name's inspiration was a vision Lindon has at almost the end of the novel。 All of that， however， is getting ahead of ourselves; the relevancy of the title was far from the only thing different about this lat Not to be confused with Bloodline， by Conn Iggulden， which we reviewed last year。 I'm sure that won't confuse the search algorithms for the site at all。 This happens to also be the first book whose title is not strongly reflected by a component in the book; the closest I came up with for the name's inspiration was a vision Lindon has at almost the end of the novel。 All of that， however， is getting ahead of ourselves; the relevancy of the title was far from the only thing different about this latest instalment in the Cradle series （I will link to the reviews for the previous books in the series at the bottom of the post）。 All of the traits that have made the previous Cradle books enjoyable were still present in this latest volume: the intricate magic system， the aggressively fast-paced action， the interweaving plot threads， titanic forces， and glimpses of larger events。 As always， this was a very fast read， which is a result of the work's brevity， the pace of the action， and the author's writing style， which is in many ways the opposite of mine。 Where my writing is predisposed towards lengthy paragraphs and intricate sentence structures， bedecked with accoutrements like semicolons， adverbs， and Oxford commas， Wight's writing features paragraphs so short that they almost seem clipped; I don't think there was a paragraph in the book that was longer than a sentence or two。 For a longer piece， on the scale of something like Stormlight Archive， this would probably be exhausting for the reader， but for the length of the Cradle books， and their overall tone， it works surprisingly well， and makes these stories very hard to put down mid-book。 All of that being said， I did not enjoy this volume as much as some of its predecessors （Ghostwater is definitely still my favorite）。 While it was technically better executed， showcasing Wight's continued improvement as an author， I found the story less satisfying。 The basic idea of the hero's return， now possessed of great power， to his homeland is a common one， but very difficult to execute， especially for the length of an entire novel。 The intricacies of the magic system received less attention in this book， to the point that I don't think there were any major revelations about how it works， and when it does come time to advance， as has happened in every other book so far， the event is cursory and rather anticlimactic。 I also found that many of the other characters felt a little flat in this book。 Maybe that's in part because it's been awhile since I read the other books in the series， but Lindon and Ziel seemed the only major characters with significant personality。 Even the irrepressible Eithan felt largely forced。 In my Wintersteel review， I recall complaining that there were none of the scenes of the larger universe's drama interspersed throughout， as there were in the other books。 Bloodline brought those back， and in a major way。 I have to be careful not to give spoilers here， but we finally get some answers as to the source of the conflict at this level， we see some major action， and the stakes are raised significantly for the next book。 Speaking of the next book， Wight claims that there will only be three more novels in this series， and looking at the length that gives him I'm having to already revise my hypotheses about how the rest of the series is going to go and how the storylines might be resolved。 I wouldn't be surprised if in every Cradle review I've concluded by saying that these are fast， enjoyable， action-packed， and surprisingly complex books， but since all of those things remain true through Bloodline， I don't see any reason to change。 The good news is that Will Wight has an incredibly fast turn-around on writing new books， so the next review for a Cradle book should be in somewhere around eight months （give or take， since I rarely read something immediately after it comes out， and even when I do， my posts are scheduled months in advance）。 Until then， I hope that you continue this series with Bloodline。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I love this series。 This book was frustrating though。 The inhabitants of Sacred Valley were such dicks though。 Trying to murder Lindon and co constantly。 I loved all the cosmic stuff， it was cool to see what a top tier battle looks like with them wrecking a universe over and over again。 Looks like we're finally going into the Labyrinth next book。 Can't wait to see what that's all about。 Only three books until the end， sadly。 I love this series。 This book was frustrating though。 The inhabitants of Sacred Valley were such dicks though。 Trying to murder Lindon and co constantly。 I loved all the cosmic stuff， it was cool to see what a top tier battle looks like with them wrecking a universe over and over again。 Looks like we're finally going into the Labyrinth next book。 Can't wait to see what that's all about。 Only three books until the end， sadly。 。。。more

The fight was a bit overstretched 。 We saw very little character or power development as compared to previous books。 But it was so captivating and thrilling。 I can't wait for the next one。 The fight was a bit overstretched 。 We saw very little character or power development as compared to previous books。 But it was so captivating and thrilling。 I can't wait for the next one。 。。。more

This continues to be just a fun series。 This felt like a bit of catch-up after the last book but it was interesting to see Lindon head back to Sacred Valley and confront some of the people there。 I'm getting more interested in the Abidan story too。 I have a feeling the remaining 3 （or so） books are going to be going quickly after this。 This continues to be just a fun series。 This felt like a bit of catch-up after the last book but it was interesting to see Lindon head back to Sacred Valley and confront some of the people there。 I'm getting more interested in the Abidan story too。 I have a feeling the remaining 3 （or so） books are going to be going quickly after this。 。。。more

Quick read。Quick compelling read where our hero’s come out on top again。 Expands the scope of the power ladder and solidifies Lindon’s place on it。

Giving it 5 stars because the series as a whole is incredible。 This book itself was not as mind-blowing as some of the previous books but it was a necessary step in the series and it was really great。 As always， Will brings you into the iteration of Cradle。 You will laugh， cry， and sit at the edge of your seat。 If you aren't in love with the characters by now， you need to go back and start over because they are FAMILY now。 Can't wait to see what's next for the gang。 Please pick up this series fo Giving it 5 stars because the series as a whole is incredible。 This book itself was not as mind-blowing as some of the previous books but it was a necessary step in the series and it was really great。 As always， Will brings you into the iteration of Cradle。 You will laugh， cry， and sit at the edge of your seat。 If you aren't in love with the characters by now， you need to go back and start over because they are FAMILY now。 Can't wait to see what's next for the gang。 Please pick up this series for your next read！ 。。。more

I was surprised when this one came out so soon after Wintersteel， like most people were I think。 The only thing that disappointed me was the length， after getting such a chunk of a book in volume 8。 But that's the only place where this book is lacking。 We get to see so much cool stuff， mainly Lindon and Co。 Being absolute badasses with their new powers。 Almost better than that though is the way things come full circle as Lindon comes back home to a place that treated him like less than nothing。 I was surprised when this one came out so soon after Wintersteel， like most people were I think。 The only thing that disappointed me was the length， after getting such a chunk of a book in volume 8。 But that's the only place where this book is lacking。 We get to see so much cool stuff， mainly Lindon and Co。 Being absolute badasses with their new powers。 Almost better than that though is the way things come full circle as Lindon comes back home to a place that treated him like less than nothing。 He's grown so much and hit me in the heart so hard to watch him realize how far he's outgrown his limitations and his abusers。 Wonderful storytelling。This is a book that brings payoffs for things setup so early in the series， and it does it so well。 I'm already anxious for the next entry。 It's going to be a tough wait。 I don't reread books much these days because my TBR is so big， but I'm putting this series back on my reading list because I can't get enough of these characters and this world。I dove back into Unsouled almost immediately after I finished this one。 I'm long overdue for writing some reviews on the rest of the books anyway， so I'm gonna get to work on that as I go back through the series。Read these books。 They're so good。 。。。more

Not as good as the last few。 It was a necessary installment， but the people in Lindon's homeland really annoyed me。 Also， the book should have been longer。 It ended quickly。 It was still a good read though。 Hence the 4 stars。 Not as good as the last few。 It was a necessary installment， but the people in Lindon's homeland really annoyed me。 Also， the book should have been longer。 It ended quickly。 It was still a good read though。 Hence the 4 stars。 。。。more

Still one of the best series I have ever read！ This series was my first sample of cultivation books， and I still think they are the best。 Even my amazing wife is interested。Poor Dross（like seriously tears）， but good ridence to the trash heap aka residence of sacred valley。 It reminded me how dangerous pride is when I am not open minded。I am going back and reading Unsouled（book 1） again to remember how badly Lindon was treated so I can remember the details。
