Our view
“Ghostwater” keeps the Cradle series’ attention fixed on Lindon, and this fifth volume is at its best in its action and his long-awaited progress. Some readers miss the companions who appear far less here and feel the book plays like one long training sequence that mainly prepares the next instalment; others call the formula repetitive by this point. Those following Lindon’s climb get exactly that.

About the book
Long ago, the Monarch Northstrider created a world of his own. This world, known as Ghostwater, housed some of his most valuable experiments. Now, it has been damaged by the attack of the Bleeding Phoenix, and a team of Skysworn have been sent to recover whatever they can from the dying world. Now, Lindon must brave the depths of this new dimension, scavenging treasures and pushing his skills to new heights to compete with new enemies. Because Ghostwater is not as empty as it seems.
