See all4.5⭐s. The Will of the Many was a fantastic start to the Hierarchy series.
I really enjoyed the world building, academy setting, and magic system. Fun action scenes with humor and mystery intermixed within plots upon plots upon plots.
From my previous read of the Licanious Trilogy, I know Islington is preparing us for some mind bending twists down the line. I'm here for it and ready for the next installment.
Stronger Together
I came into this book right after finishing the Apple TV adaptation as the show was compelling, mysterious, intense and had a unique story.
I found many of these same qualities in Wool but ultimately enjoyed the show more even though only half the book was covered.
The book came across as less intense and mysterious at least in the first half of what the show covered.
Overall though, I really enjoyed my read and want to continue with the series.
Positives
1. Prose - really great descriptions of events and ideas that read very well
2. Mystery - why the heck was this Silo built??
3. Multiple POVs - loved being in the mind of multiple characters, especially Bernard
Also, the people in this Silo gotta be fit with all the stairs right?
Vampires, ghosts, and demons all wrapped up into a fun and exhilarating story. Always a blast diving into the wizarding world of a different Harry.
2023 re-read 5⭐s!
One of the best fantasy books ever written.
Words of Radiance continues to build on the already great first entry of the Stormlight Archives.
Action, politics, humor, drama. This book has all these elements and more.
Even with this book being 1000+ pages, it reads so quickly as you do not want to stop.
Ready to dive into the next book for another re-read.
“Words are where most change begins.”
I enjoyed some of the ideas and concepts presented in this book but I could not connect with the characters or story.
Might have to try this one out again at a later time as I loved Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.
