Is it just me, or is the writing in the Cradle series really bad?
The prose is awful. Everything is either overexplained or too vague, and the actual plot is paper thin.
Action scenes are a hit or miss, some are excellentlly described and some I can barely imagine due to the awakard or vague word choice that the author uses. (Yerin vs the bandits in the mountains is a great example)
I heard this was supposed to be good...when does it get good? Book 1 was decent and carried by the premise alone, but book 2 is a slog with no redeeming qualities so far
