Critics Review
‘Full of excitement, danger and mystery, this thrilling adventure leaves us gasping in anticipation of the next instalment.’ * Guardian *
‘The Will of the Many was a good book – a really, really good book – but The Strength of the Few is a great one.’ * GrimDark Magazine *
‘Bestseller Islington’s brilliant middle volume of his Hierarchy trilogy clears the high bar set by the first installment…Evocative prose and nuanced ruminations on the nature of power and sacrifice enhance Islington’s complex multiverse worldbuilding. Readers will be on the edge of their seats.’ * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *
‘Phenomenal! One of the best high fantasy novels I’ve read in years – think Red Rising meets The Name of the Wind. I couldn’t put it down.’ * Lynette Noni on The Will of the Many *
‘A brilliant and gut-churning masterpiece.’ * Library Journal on The Will of the Many *
‘Cleverly intersperses the world and character building with bursts of action and intrigue which kept me gripped from beginning to end…A fabulously addictive read which I would recommend for lovers of epic fantasy.’ * Good Reading (4.5 stars) on The Will of the Many *
