I finally started reading it. I had to put Anathem down for a bit because that book is HUGE, and it's gonna take me a while to read it. Anyway, "The Will of the Many" has me in "can't put it down" territory so far (60 pages in). If it keeps up this pace, it's definitely going to earn a high mark from me. VERY gripping so far with the world and characters.

The wolf-like pup scene, I think, showed some of Vis' character as far as his integrity... I feel Vis is character who just comes from a place of already knowing what he was to be come as a man, as he was being trained to lead even as a small child. Also, I think a big difference between Vis and Darrow is that Vis grew up in this world... and boy, oh boy, am I excited to find out just where that last chapter is taking us next... yes questions... so many! 📖🥰📚

Tori!!! I’ve had this book on my shelf for a while and you’ve convinced me to finally pick it up, great review!!

I own The Will of the Many- but haven't read it yet. Was thinking I should read his original trilogy first- now I'm not so sure.... Maybe I should just dive in! Always love your enthusiasm, Tori!

@kraaaah2823 Ай бұрын

The ending made me so mad!! I read this because of one of your videos a few months ago and did really like it, but wow what a cliffhanger. I think my favorite scene was in the coliseum. So many questions for book 2 to answer!

i love your channel so much! your enthusiasm for books is contagious! i've had this on my TBR for awhile and for whatever reason haven't picked it up, but i'm bumping it to the top of my TBR pile now!

Hi Tori! I absolutely LOVE your channel. All the reviews and recommendations that I have watched from you are so awesome.

Yes...I have moved up The Will of the Many on my TBR. Currently reading the Devabad series (City of Copper) but will interrupt the series to work "Will" in as an immediate read. Since "Silence" is a chunky book, it will be read later.

@marikastrom4901 Ай бұрын

Can't wait for the sequel! Might do a reread cause the details are already getting a bit fuzzy a few months after reading. Loved to hear your take on it 😊

@ToriMorrow Ай бұрын

I think I’ll have to do the same lol! Maybe not a full reread, but I tabbed so many scenes that I’m gonna need to go back to as we get closer to the sequel 😄

OMG Tori!!! I have been missing you in my Booktube life! You were such an inspiration to me starting my own channel and I’m so happy to see you back! Also Will of the Many was one of my favorite reads last year, as well as Empire of Silence. Can’t wait to read both of them again.

@victoria9663 Ай бұрын

I can't wait to watch this! The Will of the Many was a 5 star prediction for me but for whatever reason I could NOT get into it! I tried many times, in many formats, on and off for weeks. I ended up just having to let it go but was really disappointed that it didn't click with me when I thought it would. That being said, as I read it I kept thinking "Tori is going to freaking adore this book, I just know it" 😂

@victoria9663 Ай бұрын

I should say too that I plan on trying it again in a few years. This year has been one crisis after another for me and my family, and I have not been able to enjoy any books that are overly detailed or brutally violent. I had to quit Empire of the Vampire recently too (picked it up via your recommendation!) for the reason that I can't handle something that dark at this point in my life. I think in a different time of my life, when there's less personal suffering and darkness, I will be able to enjoy these darker books again.

Ugh, Tori, because of you this will be my third time starting this book. Not because there is anything wrong with it, but because for me, everything is being compared to the Red Rising….. It all comes short. I’m not saying it in any kind of mean way, I have an enormous respect for all authors. I just feel that Pierce Brown has ruined fantasy for me. 😭

@ToriMorrow Ай бұрын

Red rising is my favorite series so I feel you on this 😩 Some of these new books are definitely being done a disservice by all the RR comparisons when they’re so different. I hope you can get into TWOTM this time around because it’s incredible!

@YaFeya13 Ай бұрын

@@ToriMorrow Fiiiiiiiiiiine….. but the only only because I trust you ☺️❤️ I feel the same way about Empire of silence, I did manage to finish the first book, purchased the second and just had no desire to find out what happened next . That’s what Pierce does, he makes me feel so strongly about every character and everything that’s happening, I simply cannot put his books down, you know? All these other ones I have to talk myself into continuing. …. I’ll report when I’m done with these ☺️
