Our view
“Underlord” is a build-up volume that earns its place, readying Cradle’s young fighters for a worldwide tournament. The revelations that come with advancement give the characters a little more depth, which some readers find rare in this series. As the sixth of twelve books it leans on the five before it and is no place to begin.

About the book
All around the world, great clans and sects prepare their disciples to fight against one another in a competition of young Underlords. Even the Blackflame Empire is drawn in, but their youth are not strong enough to compete. Yet.
