rosewalker 's review for:

The Will of the Many by James Islington

3.75

adventurous challenging mysterious medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

If you put Paul Mescal in Gladiator II into a military-magic academy (à la Babel or Fourth Wing) and then had the whole school train to enter the Hunger Games only to

have the winner enter a time warp like Outlander

… that would be this book.

Best part of this genre-informed equation: islington makes it work. I’m in for Book 2.
