Finally caught up with this series. Each book has simply been better than the last. Has Lindon become too powerful for his own good, or will he be able to change things permanently for Cradle. Can't wait for book 12!
Finishing the book, I was left with Lindon's favourite expression, puzzled, trying to figure something out..........Did I finish the book Dreadgod???? What is so Dreadgod like, aside from his usual stubborness, his must be able to ascend as soon as able.......
With the symbiotic relationship between Dreadgods and Monarchs, maybe I was hoping for more, well that is why this is a 4 star instead of a 3 star, maybe it was the cliffhanger, were there advancements??? Not the usual ones, in fact this was a preparation for the penultimate volume, a lot of scuffles(as if fighting the Silent King, Red Faith, Redmoon and the others are considered as scuffles)......will we finally see if absolute power corrupts absolutely, we see the ugly side of the Monarchs in trying to hold on to the status quo.
Book 12, it seems there are still a lot of loose ends to solve, for just a one volume, but still I will be waiting for the conclusion of Wei Shi Lindon's story!!!!
I liked the Blood Sage, unfortunately he was only meant to be...........in the end..........
6.5/10
The worst Cradle entry since Ghostwater, and probably my third least favorite overall.
This book really suffered from training montages, splitting up the characters that work best, and having book 9 remove one of the humorous characters and book 10 removing another. The series simply isn't as interesting without a certain character.
The last quarter was pretty good, but at that point I was just ready to be done.
