Brandon Sanderson meets Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Unsouled is a kind of Brandon Sanderson meets Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
wrapped in Naruto. If you're looking for a non-western setting, this novel delivers
in spades.
--Calvin ParkCompelling Scale and Worldbuilding
I was supremely compelled to finish Lindon's story, from his inciting incident all
the way to the bombastic finish of book 1, and by the nature of Wight's writing
style, I was supremely surprised to find myself at the end of his book in what felt
like no time at all.
--Dominic RoemerThe hero you didn't know you were looking for
This is where Wight's world building truly shines, introducing us to a society
where strength is held paramount and the weak are pushed aside. There were
times when I couldn't breathe because I so desperately wanted Lindon to rise up
and strike down those oppressing him or hurting him.
And so, the reader experiences the same hunger for knowledge that Lindon does,
partially because the story demands it and partially because you are cheering for
Lindon in a way that surpasses what is rational for a character whose existence is
limited to a Kindle device. When it comes to Lindon's success and ascension,
Wight stokes a fire in his reader that makes it very difficult to stop reading.
