Refreshing Discovery!

I've read/listened to dozens of fantasy novels. While I can't quite yet place Wight in the same league as a Brandon Sanderson, it's still very exciting--and somewhat rare--to discover an author I can compare favorably with Brent Weeks, Joe Abercrombie, Michael Sullivan, Edward Robertson, etc. I don't think anyone who enjoys these authors' works will be disappointed in this one.

Wow

I took a gamble with this book. I didn't know what I was getting into. I fell in love with the characters and found myself wanting to listen to it even when I was out of my car (I listen to it on my 45-50 min ride to work.) Tbh I have already listened to the second book and I'm just now writing a review for this one.

Engaging story and narration

I’m a self proclaimed addicted audiobook listener and I loved this book. There’s a lot of bad fantasy and sci-fi books out there and this book is not among them. Great imagery, fast paced action, and character building. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

I struggled with the first book a little but....

the series is incredible. It really picks up by the second book, and just keeps getting better. The whole series is amazing!

I would advise you to stick with it after the first book because the rest of the series, especially book 8, blew me away.

The rest of the Series get better

The only issue with cradle is that you can’t stop

I finished full series in less than a week

Amazing - can’t wait to see what after underlord

Wow!

I was not sure of this book for the first 30 minutes or so. But since I was traveling and had nothing else to downloaded, I stuck with it. So glad I did! Now I am starting on book 2 of the series!

awesome book 5 stars

I wish the other books in series were on audible. I'll just have to get them on kindle instead.

Very satisfied with this book

The story was very good. The narration was also fantastic. This is my second time listening and I enjoyed it just as much as the first.

entertaining

The main character is interesting and the magic system. the plot is a little lacking, but overall enjoyed it. will be checking out the next book

An Adequate YA Effort

Perfect for young readers of fantasy. While this is a formulaic hero's journey, it is done well, using what I call the "Underdog Mage Trope", similar to the Codex Alera and Naruto. I would say that if this book is missing anything it is emotional depth. The extremes of humor and sadness are barely touched upon. The main character's conflict seems more analytical than spiritual, more like a math problem than a philosophical or moral problem. In this world, a individual's spirit is treated like any other mundane part of the body. Because of this, there seems to be no real wonder to experience. These story aspects are not flaws, per se, but they prevent me from feeling emotionally invested enough to continue the series. Will Wight is a smart and clever writer who writes excellent nerd fantasy. While it lacks poetry, there is plenty of crunch.
