Our view
“Uncrowned” turns the seventh Cradle volume into a tournament, a format that suits a series built on duels and steady escalation. The heirs and best students of the world’s most powerful rulers compete to be named the strongest of their generation, and the pages go by fast. Some readers start to wonder how much higher the stakes can climb before they turn absurd. Dross and Eithan supply much of the fun.
