As such, he is dishonored and seen as less than nothing in the eyes of his clan. In the eyes of his community, he is unworthy and will never become a sacred artist. Readers find a world where honor and pride are esteemed above nearly all else, where sacred artists harness the power of their souls, combining the vital aura of the world with their internal madra, or energy, into power that they can use to influence the world. We meet Lindon, a main character who is less than remarkable, and get an introduction to his world through this book. The books are easy to pick up and read, with themes and storytelling that are exciting and drew me in, but not necessarily with significant depth that readers of high or epic fantasy might look for. It definitively falls in the YA Fantasy genre, so the book length, language, and writing style reflect that. As the introduction to an ambitious story, Unsouled is set as the first of nine current books in the Cradle series, with a projected twelve in total.
