Good book, I really struggled to get into it. Throughout the whole book I struggled to understand the magic system.
Like everyone said it is a mix of hunger games, red rising and Harry Potter but in my mind it’s not even as close to as good as any of them.
I would definitely read the second one and it ended on a super cool cliff hanger but not my favourite book.
I feel that overtime I have become more into sci fi then fantasy. I feel this could be a sci fi and a fantasy book.

This might be my favorite book ever. Holy shiz; it is so good. A few months ago, I put this book down around page 140. I was super busy and wasn’t fully invested so I didn’t pick it back up until a friend (thanks Latoya!) mentioned loving it during our book club.
The second time around I started from the beginning again and this time I was honestly shocked that I wasn’t pulled in from the start previously. I think it’s because I was learning a new government and I had to keep flipping back to remember what the titles meant. Once I decided I didn’t really care and that Q titles were higher than S titles, the book moved a lot quicker.
This book checked all of the boxes for me. It was clever, had some twists, some action, dark academia vibes. This was so fun to read because you’re constantly questioning every characters’ motive and whether they are trustworthy, etc. I kept comparing it to HP (which I know isn’t fair because it feels so original) but the Will of the Many is focused on a school with rankings (kinda, but not really) like the Hogwarts houses, professors that are like able and ones you hate, a quirky, aloof headmaster and super dangerous stakes. The students all come from noble / government families which plays into the dynamics within the senate.
I will be recommending this book to everyone I know and literally cannot wait for the next book!!!

I had a very well thought out review in mind but now I'm done and all I can think is WTF I have so many questions how is it not November yet
I REALLY liked this book. The world and the multilayered plot are both very well crafted, intriguing but never so complex that I couldn't keep up (and I say that as someone who doesn't like to read political intruige usually)
The characters, too, are written very well and I enjoyed following them.
I enjoyed all the parts, each of them in a distinct setting with always more to discover.
So what's keeping me from rating this 5 stars, even?
Around the 50% Mark it occured to me that everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) Vis does succeeds. If you play D&D, I'm gonna put it like that: that boy never rolls below 10 on a single check.
Sure, there's minor complications but never any setbacks that would seriously force him to reevaluate his strategy or adjust his plans.
Swordfight against a classmate who he shouldn't be able to beat AND the fight is rigged? no problem for vis.
People start to guess that his backstory is a lie? he basically tells them "haha u got me but like trust me bro" and they just go "okay cool"
it keeps going just like this
until the very end it seems like vis can't fail and that, unfortunately, put a bit of a damper on the experience.
Yes, there's still the overarching suspense of the plot at large but all of vis' little side quests don't pack much of a punch because you know it's going to end well
all in all, though, this book is still 100% worth reading. it's well written, fun in places and just the right amount of heavy in others with a mind boggling ending.

This book was great.
An introduction to another world, built up well as the story continued. Excellent characters, can’t wait for the next one.
