Series descriptor

The Elder Empire Fantasy series consists of two parallel trilogies: a trilogy of Shadow and a trilogy of Sea, one set of books following a consultant/Assasin named Shera, then a second set following her sometimes rival Calder who is a Captain/Adventure. Each pair of books takes place over roughly the same time period describing the shared timeline from two different perspectives.

Personal Review

Im a big fan of Will Wight, specifically his Cradle series which might make me a little bit biased. I really enjoyed this series, the Shadow series was my more personal favourite as im a sucker for assasin type characters but the Sea series is pretty good aswell (specifically the supporting characters) I gave this series an over 4.25/5 which is what I consider "Highly recomend" (5 is a must read/amazing series).

Recomended reading order is up to you. Personally I recomend reading through all of Sea first then all of Shadow second.
If you like pirates and boats Sea first, If you like Asssassins and murder Shadow first.
Lots of people recomend Sea 1 shadow 1, sea 2 shadow 2, sea 3, shadow 3.

Free all weekend

    • Jofzar on 18/07/2020 - 13:30

      Thanks mate,

      Fixed.

      Knew there would be one that i messed up :)

        Absolutely, but my fantasy preferences are a little more adulterated……lol

      • Linnylin on 18/07/2020 - 15:19

        Thanks OP! Anything in these that a 12yr old shouldn’t read?

        • Jofzar on 18/07/2020 - 17:40

          Uh bit of murder in these, I might recomend you read this first and see if you think its appropriate or not.

          Personally I was reading darker at their age so it would have been fine.

          • Linnylin on 18/07/2020 - 19:22

            @Jofzar: Bit of murder never hurt anyone hey?😉

            But seriously, I’ll have quick look first. Thanks for your opinion.

    • Jofzar on 18/07/2020 - 13:57

      Thanks for that.

      • Mixhael on 18/07/2020 - 14:04

        No worries. I did it on mobile so apologies if there's an error somewhere

  • DashCam AKA Rolts on 18/07/2020 - 14:04

    Thanks Jofzar. Just added 'Of Kings and Killers' and 'Of Killers and Kings', to my Will Wight collection. I had the others from a previous posting.

    • snapper on 18/07/2020 - 14:18

      Same here

  • Aliandmike on 18/07/2020 - 14:07

    Thanks OP. I also really enjoyed the cradle series that I got from a previous post.

    For those who have Prime just noticed Raymond E Feist The Firemane Saga, Book 1 King Of Ashes is free to read as well. Prob not worth it's own post.

    • justtoreply on 18/07/2020 - 14:31

      Warning; not free on US

    • reactor-au on 18/07/2020 - 16:13

      Showing $9.99 for me

      • rheags on 18/07/2020 - 16:24

        Are you logged in? Shows as $9.99 to me but once I log in it shows as $0 for prime (Kindle price)

        • reactor-au on 18/07/2020 - 20:23

          I've been prime for years, no go. Not a biggie just saying so people don't accidentally purchase for 9.99

      • Acopic on 18/07/2020 - 17:03

        I thought the same, but it confused me as it says $0 for prime in the spot where it usually says $0 for prime UNLIMITED (which I dont have).

    • GrannyKay on 19/07/2020 - 10:59

      Thanks rheags, was free to read for me.

  • HolyFosh on 18/07/2020 - 14:20

    Thanks!

    I read Cradle and enjoyed it, didn't so much enjoy The Travelers Gate series, but had been meaning to get around to reading this one.

    • alaric on 18/07/2020 - 15:37

      I love Kaiju stories so enjoyed his writings. I haven't read cradle yet. Traveler's Gate trilogy was his first series so I gave him some slack. I love the idea of travelers. However, I enjoyed the Elder Empire series a lot more, especially the Shadow part of it.

      • HolyFosh on 18/07/2020 - 16:18

        Personally I think Cradle is quite a bit better than Traveler's Gate, although that's not accounting for either of our specific tastes which could also influence things.

        That bodes well for me enjoying EE though!

        • alaric on 18/07/2020 - 17:07

          I read EE in pairs, starting with book 1 sea followed by book 1 shadow then do the same for books 2 and 3. This reading order worked well for me.

  • alaric on 18/07/2020 - 15:48

    Thanks OP. Should have waited for it to be free (it's quite quick too, just a month or two since the last two books came out).

  • freefall101 on 18/07/2020 - 16:54

    Anyone tried the audiobooks? About $20 all up to add the audiobook version for the whole series ($3-3.50 a book), but a few mixed reviews on the Shadow series for the audiobook.

    • alaric on 18/07/2020 - 17:15

      I didn't mind the audiobooks at all. Both narrators do a good job, nothing exceptional but clear and easy to follow. They pronounce it as it is written so hopefully the fantasy names are pronounced correctly.

      Kindle unlimited members get narration bundled with the book otherwise listen to a sample before deciding.

      People love Travis Baldree for cradle,

      This is also Travis so I assume its good.

  • Acopic on 18/07/2020 - 17:02

    Thanks! Just finished the Brent Weeks Lightbringer series about 2 hours ago. So this might save me looking around for my next fix. Haven't read the cradle series either, so will add that to the list.

    • [Deactivated] on 18/07/2020 - 19:38

      Should give stormlight archives a go

      • Acopic on 18/07/2020 - 20:42

        A great suggestion but way ahead of you.

        • Jofzar on 18/07/2020 - 21:17
          +1

          If you need any more suggestions send me a message, I have read most popular fantasy series.

          • Acopic on 21/07/2020 - 21:29

            @Jofzar: Cant message you for some reason. Just read cradle one, it hasn't grabbed me as much as others have but I'll give the series a good go. Always open to other suggestions, only really had time to read again in the last few years, so diving back in to fantasy. I really enjoyed/am enjoying the stormlight archives, liked the original mistborn, didnt get through the second trilogy, not a big fan of sandersons superhero ones. Found the first book of wheel of time slow, and read that it doesn't pace up more from there so decided not to commit. Loved the king killer chornicles and look forward to dying before the third installment.
