Uncrowned

4.5

This was the best of the cradle series so far, its great to see Lindon's comrades also grow in strength and power and despite his quick growth experience still matters.

Oh that ending, but before it ends, this is the only time I felt really, really, really bad for Lindon, for doing what he was supposed to...........that really hurts.

Another fine book, we get to see more background story, something big is coming, not just planetwide, but universal, more interactions between sage and herald, of course, just Charity(Sage) and Fury(Herald), the Akura clan deserves their status as one of the ruling elite. More factions, Monarchs than you can throw a stick at.............slowly but surely, the grand picture is unfolding, all the different players and clans.......but the book is still short, I would love to read some more battles between the contestants....

We have a lot of characters already, still not fully formed, Soulsmithing, I really would love to read more, how to, which is best part, the best remnants, a lot of possibilities, but there are just so few scenes............... there must be a big difference between an Underlord soulsmith to a Truegold but what is it??????

Again next book please, I wonder what will now happen..........I still think Kiro should have.............I like him........a lot and Meira.............

How do the stakes keep raising? At what point does it just become ridiculous? Still enjoying the books, but I'm not sure if this type of book is one I'll look for in the future. Dross and Eithan are fantastic, though.

I'm a huge fan of this series

This series is awesome. Just freaking awesome. This one at the end seems little disappointed but still the story carried a good weight so i can ignore it. What's gonna Happen next will? Dross should be with Lindon. Otherwise I will be depressed and take it out on You will!!!!

Executive Summary: With how good [b:Underlord 40502274 Underlord (Cradle, #6) Will Wight https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1549953283l/40502274.SY75.jpg 62830100] was, it was kind inevitable that I wouldn't enjoy this one quite as much. Still pretty good, but a bit flawed.Full ReviewWith where [b:Underlord 40502274 Underlord (Cradle, #6) Will Wight https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1549953283l/40502274.SY75.jpg 62830100] left off, I was really looking forward to this book. He set things up nicely for the Uncrowned tournament. However instead of jumping into that he spent a bunch of time on training. That would have been fine, but it resulted in the book ending before the tournament ended. It also resulted in some pacing issues. The early parts were a bit slow and the last part just flew by and then kind of abruptly stopped.These books always tend to be short quick reads, but I'd have preferred if he split things up differently. I guess we'll see how the next book goes before making a final judgement on if it makes sense that he ended it where he did.I feel like the lead up to the tournament could have been in this book, or possibly earlier in the tournament than he did. However that might have left this book with out any sort of major climax. I think I'll just leave the writing to Mr. Wight and simply eagerly look forward to the next Cradle book. Considering where this one leaves off it should really hit the ground running.
