Soulsmith by Will Wight

Outside Sacred Valley, ancient ruins rise from the earth, drawing sacred artists from miles around to fight for the treasures within.Lindon has reached Copper, taking the first step on the road to power, but the warriors of the outside world are still far beyond him.To advance, he turns to the arcane skills of the Soulsmiths, who craft weapons from the stuff of souls. With new powers come new enemies, and Lindon soon finds himself facing an entire sect of Golds.

A Perfect Blend of Character Progression and Hard Magic

This was the most fun book I've read in quite a whileIt's a worthy successor to

Unsouled, which I also enjoyed significantly. If you liked Unsouled, I think you'll

like this as well.

The bottom line? Will Wight is defining a new genre that blends the long-term

character progression of Eastern fiction with Sanderson-esque hard magic - and I

can't wait to read more.

-- Andrew Rowe

Brilliant Character personality writing. Progressive growth in power. Engaging

story. Fun and Action Packed.

Will Wight does a great job of making a reader emphatize with his main

characters. The story feels reasonably realistic and the world feels harsh, as well

as well developed and enticing.

This is the kind of story where the protagonists grow from strength to strength -

my favourite kind. The main character is absolutely weak compared to the people

around him, but has energy, drive and cunning. He knows how to think on his feet

and his interactions with the world and people around him feel substantial and

real.

-- Lightsyde

The rubber meets the road

I just love that Wight doesn't give Lindon anything freely. No gods granting him

powers, no personal epiphanies unveiling surprising abilities, just his own grit and

determination as he claws his way forward even as he's shoved two steps back.

His newest and extremely powerful benefactor could have been framed as an

easy-way-out solution to leveling Lindon up quickly and efficiently, but it's already

clear that nothing about his plans will be straightforward or easy.

-- Meghan Remington

My favorite story yet from Will Wight

The real prize in this story however, is the magic system Mr. Wight has created to

fuel the plot. He gives enough detail about how and why the Sacred Arts work to

satisfy my technical curiosity, but was also able to structure things in a way that

there aren't really any boundaries to this power. The author is pretty much

unrestricted in the fireworks he can show us, and have it still make perfect sense

in the storyline.
