by James Islington
This novel,’ The Will of the Many’ by James Islington, has not only become my favourite book of the decade but also stands out for its unique blend of universal themes, a dynamic and suitably flawed main character, and world-building that is both enthralling and threatening. It’s a fantasy with glimmers of science fiction that will keep you hooked from the first page.
‘The Will of the Many’ is not just a coming-of-age story; it’s a journey that will mesmerise you. It’s a tale of self-discovery, courage, and sacrifice that had me emotionally invested from the moment I opened it.
Its freakingly unique settings (elements of ancient Rome, medieval Europe, and glimmers of modernity) and an intricate and engrossing plot with layers and twists and turns and so, so many questions have left me anxiously awaiting a second novel.
Read it! I need to discuss some of the theories I have surmised after reading.
