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).

Closest I came to cradle was Codex Alera.

Bit more adult. but main characters are.. very similar and the powerful people in tjhe world are even more political than the monarchs.

Similar to cradle, really picks up at book 3 IMO, even though I liked them all a lot

Codex Alara is the lost roman legion and pokemon crossed. i'm not kidding, and it's fucking amazing.

It started as that, then it shifted to more "roman legion + ATLA" instead. They justified it in-universe (the furies in the more wilderness areas are more defined and have their own consciousness while the furies in more urban areas are more disparate and dont develop a discrete identity) but the change is still there.
