Wow.

I loved The Will of The Many, despite James Islington's use of well trodden "magical academy" first book trope. It asked enough fascinating questions and ended with a cliffhanger that left me rubbing my knees for more.

Where Hierarchy book 1 strayed into the formulaic at times, Book 2, The Strength of The Few, breaks all molds, and in my opinion, is the authors coming out party of originality. Though this volume is large enough to fend off a home invader, I was left wanting even more than the 700+ pages (in a good way).

If you were on the fence with Book 1, Book 2 will win you over with it's branching story, characters and locations. It will be a long and anxious wait for Book 3!

This book leads you to believe it's one thing and turns out to be something else entirely. It's Harry Potter meets Game of Thrones meets Lord of the Flies. Looking forward to seeing how the series progresses.

A great page turner, with tight story telling, and a memorable cast of characters. If mixing Ancient Rome and Fantasy sounds like a good time, this one is worth the read. Couldn't put this down!
