Legendary

Whoohoo! Its out, oh yeah! I have been super stoked to write a review on this book for so long! I read it a little before it was published on the kindle store cause CK sent it to me and I have been waiting to write a review since. So then, better get started!
___Overview___
This is the 16th book in the Wimpy Villager series, which is soon to be renamed "Record of Atheria" most likely. This is by far Cube Kids best book so far, the writing surpasses even the best of his other books, and the pictures are just absolutely stunning. Now, without further ado, let's get into the (brief) summary!
___Summary___
We start off at Owls Reach, where we left off in WV15. Some Knights of Atheria have come to pick up Runt and his crew to go to Atheria City, the Capital, to receiver further training! But on their way to Atheria they have a few places to stop. The Inn of the Laughing Cow, a Moon Elf Village, and their home village, Villagetown. They first stop at the Inn of the Laughing Cow, where some lore is revealed and makes the title. "Bound by blood" make sense. I will leave that to you to read, though. Anyways, as well as that, Breeze gets attacked by basically a disguised zombie. Runt kills it but the sight of it makes everybody want to be more alert. The next day they leave and travel to the Moon Elf village, which happens to be abandoned! This means that everybody can loot the place to find some OP stuff, but the only shop still containing things is a shop that specializes in girly armor. So Runt, Stump, Max and Cog are out of luck. Once the crew leaves the Moon Elf village they head straight to Villagetown which is... Ahem... Burning and under attack. Runt does what he can to fend off the attack as well as he can, and he realizes he is using some abilities he doesn't even know about. Which is pretty dang cool. Once everybody's safe everybody fills Runt in on what happened. Some evil sorcerers burned down the wall with Voidfire, fire that burns all substances. Kaeleb (my character!) Took out some of these, so there remains one big boss called an Underlord. Before going after this guy Runt and his crew get some super cool armor and repair their weapons. No more rusty armor for Runt! As soon as everybody's suited up, and Kolb has delivered his speech, we get an awesome musical that Emerald created, called "Let em Know" to the tune of Let it Go from Frozen. This song was super cool, made me want to actually sing it. So during the song everybody fights the Underlord, they get him on the run and Breeze fires the final shot to get him. But along the way she gets wither poisoning. Runt tries to get her to drink milk but she won't do it for some reason. Finally she drinks it and reveals that she is a...
_ _ _ _ _ _ _! Crazy, huh? Anyways after the big reveal everybody begins to rebuild, and Kaeleb and Faolan (my character and my friends character) go out in search of a cure for the mayor, who is kind of in a coma. So the celebration begins soon now, and Stump and Ophelia are now together, as its called in WV, an "item." Runt finally finds out what this means and then asks Breeze if they should be an item and they are, so yeah yay romance and stuff. Anyways, there is your brief summary!
___My Character___
I'd just like to thank Cube Kid for including my character so much in this book, even exactly how I pictured it. (For those who don't know, my character is the Lost Legion Assassin known as Kaeleb) I mean my character was included in two pics, which is more than I expected. So thanks!
___Conclusion___
This was the longest and best of the series! I love where we are heading in this series. Its very very cool how it all works, and I'm super excited about all of the RPG elements added! I also fully agree with the name change, as Runt is not a Wimpy Villager anymore. Anyways, great book! See ya later everybody!
----Fixated Pixel, otherwise known as Kaeleb.
PS: I have published my own book, called "Revenge of the Mobs" on amazon kindle! If you would like feel free to go and read it, its also under Kindle Unlimited; just search "Fixated Pixel" or the book title in the eBook store. Won't say anymore about this as this is a Cube Kid book review, not an advertisement for my book! (:

I just want to tell u that, well, THIS SERIES IS THE BEST!!!!!!! I read the first few, in ever thought it would come to THIS!!! Magic and quests? AMAZING!!! I can't wait for record of aetheria to come out! My username is ultraknight0515. I've been trying to figure out how to write a review for a while now. If my name gets in, I would prefer my race to be human, I'm not tottaly sure about ability's yet but I'm thinking maybe dash, duel weild, and intelligence. U can choose the others. I'm sorry about what happened to your mom, keep writing!

So gooood

This is really good although I think you should add a secret dimension portal in one of the dungeons that they loot. You decide what it should have. I also think that you should add a character called the eyeless ones kid. He or she shod be able to control mobs craft using advanced crafts without a advanced crafting table and have an effect called flaming which is like fire resistance option except it also turns the user into flames which allows the users attacks to all be on fire.

Hi

I have written loads of reviews over the years I have bean reading these books and yet I have never been mentioned. But this is probably because I have been using different accounts.

I really injoyed the book tho. It is much long and WAY better written then your previous titles and I am impressed by of much your writing has improved.

I you want to use my username then I don't know because I can't think of a good name w8 lemmi think.....anonymouscube. Or just miles, your choice.

With regards, miles.

Book Took Too Long To Come Out

Look,I understand that there was an incident,but it took like three years to come out.I actually thought the series ended.So I'm reading Percy Jackson and I'm like, "hey brain,remember that book about the villager noob?" So I look it up and there it is.

But still a great book.let em Know!

In my opinion

I absolutely loved this book series. Started riding when wimpy. Villager 4 came out and was amazed. Please keep up the amazing work. Also I predicted the thing about urf forever ago but nothing was put in the book. I don't care though reading the series is the reward itself. Anyways nice job cube kid

WOW.

What a turn of events. I think I might be going crazy now. Also, if it's not too late, I'd like a character for WV17/RoA1. Username: MegaFlowers829, formally known as Miss Flowers, familiary known as Mega. I made a skin for her already, and I use it on my Minecraft account. Here's the link: https://www.minecraftskins.com/skin/1... and I also made a skin for Breeze (8-bit Warrior): https://www.minecraftskins.com/skin/1... I hope you like them both. BTW, Mega specializes in potions, and is very nice but sassy and has good comeback lines. She also has a twin brother nicknamed Turtle Man because he joked around about turtles and draws turtles and... Yeah. His skin is: https://www.minecraftskins.com/skin/1... and his real name is Lucas. =)

Um, hi

So, havent read this book yet but also havent reviewed you last book. I love the wimpy villagers series and I think you should keep up the good work. I just had read Big Book 15 and I love it. I'm using the voice command thing because this might be alone interview and it might not pick up some of the stuff and we are off some words we are so sorry about that. I love your series and well don't know what else to say. I read book 15 and I'm kind of confused. Is runt inside of the Council? Also my name is not Peyton I share this account with my brothers and he won't let me change the name so bye

This book is great, I love how you made Minecraft into a RPG. Some people say you are copying Steve the Noon but you are much better. Tour books are extremely funny and the art is great, keep up the good work.
