Will Wight best books, ranked

Will Wight — 15 titles in the rankings, first published between 2014 and 2025. They average 8.4, above the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages. 3 of the series have a reading order worth keeping to.

Editor’s note Almost everything here is Cradle: twelve books, finished in 2023, and one of the few long series where every later book outscores the first. Start with Unsouled and push past the slow opening. The Last Horizon is his newer science-fantasy series.
