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.
