Many shonen anime/mangas have utilized this simple premise and expand the premise into something much larger and complex Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto is a great example of this, and it would be quite difficult for me to believe that Will Wight isn’t inspired by Naruto in the creation of this series. Unsouled-and most likely the entire series-depicts Lindon’s relatively slow but gradual rise to a higher level of power, rising from an underdog and, maybe, eventually becomes the strongest in the world through the progression of the series. I love underdog stories there’s always something satisfying about seeing a character who’s practically shunned by everyone becomes a respected individual. “When a traveler cannot find a path, sometimes he must make his own.”
It’s a book that’s filled with resonating themes such as paving your own path, and the willingness to pour in extraordinary hard work to fight against all odds. Due to his misfortune, Lindon has to use and scheme whatever possible means to gain victories over his obstacles. The story follows Wei Shi Lindon, an Unsouled who’s not allowed to learn the sacred arts of his clan due to his deficiency. Unsouled is the first book out of-if I’m not mistaken, please correct me if I’m wrong-twelve planned books in Will Wight’s highly acclaimed Cradle series. I enjoyed reading Unsouled, and I know I’ll be binge-reading this series. That number is not an exaggeration I’ve received that many messages and recommendations from readers around the world telling me to read this series because they knew I’m going to love this series, and they weren’t wrong. I’ve been eyeing this series for quite a while now, it also has been recommended to me more than thirty times by more than thirty different readers. I’ve promised many readers-my impatient co-bloggers included-that I’m going to read Cradle as soon as 2020 starts, and so here I am. Published: 13th June 2016 by Hidden Gnome Publishing (Indie)Ī foundational start to a series that feels like the beginning of shonen anime in prose form.
