All three ebooks are currently free.
I haven't read this series yet but enjoyed Will Wight's Cradle series thoroughly.
Oh man. My mate said it's like crack, you have to just start and you'll be wanting more even when the series is finished. He wasn't wrong!
These are just as good imo. They are an entirely different beast but his story telling and world building is present like in Cradle, and when finishing up I'm like noooooooo
What's the book about/what's good about the Cradle series? I read the Goodreads summary of Unsouled and it sounded a bit like Avatar: The Last Airbender?
It's just a good series about a boy who was basically born with little to no power (compared to his peers) who gets stronger and stronger as the series progresses.
The first book is the weakest in the series but from there it's a lovely journey full of great characters and moments. Had me laughing out loud a few times as well.
Its a western take on the xianxia genre from China, does a lot of the cliches/formula pretty well and better than a lot of the series it gets inspiration from
I have read it and have been watching a lot of KDrama and CDrama and it runs along the lines of a lot of their fantasy shows….in fact one of them was very similar to this….Once Upon a time in Lingjian Mountain.
The genre is Xianxia.
Got me into CDrama 😂.
Some suggestions…
Love Between Fairy and Devil
Who Rules the World
Word of Honor
Handsome Siblings
The Longest Promise
The Untamed
Handsome Siblings
Haha, thanks for the recommendations, but I've already watched them all. They were all great. I've even signed up to Viki for when i finally run out of good shows on Netflix.
One i just finished that isn't martial arts themed, but still fantasy was KDrama, Doom at your service. I'm a woman and i bawled my eyes out watching that one. I also liked Alchemy of souls.
So many shows, so little time.
I think my husband thinks I've gone nuts as I'm constantly watching these shows….i haven't read for weeks as I'm bingeing…. and that is big as i always read for hours every single night if the year
@souths123: 😂😂😂. Have given up on Hollywood stuff apart from a few good shows, Reacher being one. Will try to get through The Night Agent. KDrama - yeah Alchemy season 1 was awesome. Season 2 was fine (😆). Try Goblin on Viki. Pretty cool. Should start another thread for watchable C/KDramas 🤪🤪🤪.
@OrderedChaos: Reacher season one was awesome, season 2 wasn't as good. Everyone reads Reacher for the lone wolf stuff, not the ensemble of different specialists in a team. I hope in season 3 he's on his own again
If it's like the Cradle series I bought the Kindle books and then upgraded to Audible on each one and it was super cheap, buying the audio books directly was going to be expensive.
Here's the Amazon US link for those of us that never converted their Kindle accounts to Australia:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C11YDHB8?binding=kindle_edition
Also it seems he has released a new book set in the Cradle universe chronicling some other stories
https://www.amazon.com/Threshold-Stories-Cradle-Will-Wight-e…
I got the audiobooks for it, the first one was ~$7 but the other 2 were like $3 each. They were coming up around 90% off. Sorry can't see the prices on the page anymore as I own them now. The books are narrated by Travis Baldree the same guy who did the Cradle series, I think he does an incredible job with audiobooks. Started listening to book one on the drive home today, interesting start but wasn't a big fan of the timeskip between chapter 2 & 3.
not showing free to be, asking for 1 credit for each of the book
Not freee for me
thanks, I already had the first two free and just got the third…..I have only purchased about 3 books out of all the series he has published (the last 3 of the Cradle series). Great reads. Haven't started this series yet though.
Not that I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth, but having to grab these and put them through the Calibre grinder so that I can read them on my Kobo is just annoying. Wight doesn't even seem to be available in Kobo bookstore at all. Does he have some sort of exclusivity deal with Amazon?
Also noting that he's done a full free giveaway of his books before (US): https://www.reddit.com/r/printSF/comments/13wsk48/usakindle_…
Buy them on Amazon and then download elsewhere and import to Calibre?
Generally, if you publish to kindle unlimited which most indie authors do, you aren't allowed to sell the book elsewhere.
Gotta love a monopoly, where's the anti competitive case?
Turns out I already have the first book - looks like based on the date of the order, I must have got it thanks to this deal.
Thanks OP for the other two!
cool, another to add to the reading list.
Read all three, they're a lot of fun.
Read that as 'reed all three'
English is a messed up language…
Haha, either works. But yeah, meant that as "I've read all three" rather than telling everyone to "read all three".
Will Wight is the most fun author I've read, although I haven't read Pratchett or Douglas Adams.
The qualifier to that statement means that I have no idea how fun he is
Any content warnings for the books? Always find it hard to determine if a book has violence, language etc.
Read the synopsis and reviews on Amazon Kindle pages for more info.
Hmm not having any luck doing so. Wish we had something like G, PG, M, MA rating for books but understand why it is a lot harder to do so
Good clean kick-ass action. 😃 And lotsa humour.
PG violence. No swearing (that I recall). Definitely nothing sexual.
If you wanna get an understanding of Will read his blog. https://www.willwight.com/a-blog-of-dubious-intent
The first book in this series is kinda slow. The follow-ups ratchet up the intensity.
His other series, particularly Cradle, are amazing. Give them a go. Again good clean fun.
Cradle is literally all violence. Clean not gory violence but if OP is worried out violence then it’s not a great choice
To be accurate it's martial arts, not violence in the colloquial Hollywood fashion. It's Xianxia (progression fantasy). Absolutely not gratuitous in any form.
Thanks O.P.
Cheers for posting this deal OP.
Hmm, can't buy this in the Amazon app anymore, need to go to the amazon website now due "google playstore policy changes", how annoying.

Cradle is soooooo good.
