The Will of the Many (Spoiler Free/Spoiler Review) by James Islington

[@chrissyfuhrie]

I love a good origin story! Getting a back story that is well done can really make a book.

[@thesandersreview]

Absolutely! Although in this book it isn’t necessarily an origin story, but a visit to his past and all the emotions and memories that come with it. It’s done really well! Have you read this yet?

@@thesandersreview I haven’t. It’s on my ever growing TBR haha

[@YaFeya13]

Yep yep, I have all the same complaints 😉 Not a bad book but certainly not justified all the praise 🤷‍♀️ for reference I am a huge fan of the Red rising 👍🏻👏🏻

[@thesandersreview]

Definitely a fan of the first Red Rising trilogy. Second one has been hard to start. What’s another SciFi series or book you recommend?

⁠@@thesandersreview oh no, if you haven’t started on the iron Gold then there is nothing I can recommend at this point lol the second trilogy if it all possible is even better. This is what Pierce Brown does and very few other authors can do, he makes you feel so strongly about these characters that you absolutely cannot stop reading, at least that was my experience. So so much so I have reread all six books at least three times and I was never bored not for a moment. If I’m gonna start trying to convince you, I will have to write an essay and it will be way too long. in my humble opinion, there simply hasn’t been anything like rising in the past 10 years. Yep, I said it.

@@YaFeya13 I definitely already have it on my TBR. It’s just been hard to pick up. I feel like I need to be in the right headspace to take it on. I’ll definitely do a review of it when I am finished with the second trilogy.

@@thesandersreview to me there was the Lord of the rings, then the Game of Thrones and then the red rising. Don’t get me wrong. I’m a big fan of Joe Abercrombie ,Robin Hobb, most of the popular authors. But Pierce Brown has done something absolutely indescribable for me, he made me suspend my disbelief enough where I can loose sleep and worry and grieve for the fictional characters. Simply one of the best authors working today, absolute perfection. Even if I wanted to nitpick, there is nothing I can find to complain about. And yes, in the second trilogy you find out what happens after the revolution, which many people tend to romanticize today 😞

@@thesandersreview looking forward! I’ll be here cheering all the discussions 😉
