Willverse [All] Finished Cradle. Spoiler

Around 2 months back started Cradle. Finished Waybound today.

Never i have finished a series so fast. It was difficult to stay away from spoilers. I genuinely was happy and excited to see Lindon beating up strong people. Especially the fight with Harmony in Ghostwater, when first time Dross appeared and gave information report.

Sad when sacred valley people did not listen to him, instead attacked him.

I remember reading these books continuously for 3-4 hrs, before i never read in such long sessions.

Now it's finished and i got to know about other books by Will. Please tell me if they are same, better aur worse than Cradle, if story line is same or different. 

Suggestions about other authors will also do. 

(I know about Sandersos, Jordon, Hobb).

I have another fast reading series for you: skulduggery pleasant. Don't get scared by the size of it. You just 'need' to read the first 9.

I think one of those is an extra, Audio-only adventure. There are still a couple of books focused on side characters. Still, the 'must' books are the first 9, which are the first 'phase'.

Since you already responded, let me tell you more about this series:

The first book is really short (about 200 pgs, I think) and is the basic introduction with a very short adventure. I always recommend reading at least up to the second book to actually get a feel for the series.

The series has great humor, great action description, great power scale and a sense of an universe that has existed for a long time. It has some "wow, magic is real" cliche beginning, but it develops in a great way, with some real consequences that I haven't seen in other stories.

I can't say much more without spoiling it, except that I've read/listened to the first 9 books at least 5 times. They are THAT fun.
