The Will of the Many: Deluxe Edition Hardcover

Insanely great from start to finish

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

The title of this book was the first thing that intrigued me and while I did add it to my TBR list, it took me a few months to actually start reading it. "Intriguing" doesn't even start to do "The Will Of The Many" justice: With the first page it sunk it's talons into my chest and made me keep reading (but carefully so I wouldn't miss even just one sentence) and I assume it will only truly let me go once I finish the complete series...sooo in a few years. Does that sound overly dramatic? Maybe. But this book is nothing if not just that - and so, so much more. It's fantasy concept is so vastly different from other's that I couldn't even really compare it to any other book I've read. I can't say I'm finishing the book with less questions than when I started it but that's just part of the fun. If you can call it that heh. Anyways I'll be immediately starting on "The Strength Of The Few", so while I'm busy with that - READ "THE WILL OF THE MANY"!!!

The flaws of an empire...

“Silence is a statement, Diago. Inaction picks a side. And when those lead to personal benefit, they are complicity.” A gripping story about power, oppression and corruption and a clever allegory for how systemic oppression breeds rebellion. It's so obviously inspired by real world history, unbelievably gripping and makes you root for the main character from the get-go. Perfect for fans of ‘the Name of the Wind’. “A fair system only works if there’s an unbiased means of assessing merit. When there is no pride or selfishness involved. Which means that fair systems cannot exist where people are involved.”
