The Will of the Many by James Islington is the best fantasy book I’ve read. This is a Roman-inspired epic high fantasy that takes the magical school trope and transforms it into something far more powerful, layered, and unforgettable.  At its heart, this is a story about colonialism, power, loyalty, grief, justice, friendship, and the weight of legacy. No review I write could ever do this book justice. PLEASE READ IT!
