Books Like The Will of the Many

Read more

Euan Morton narrates The Will of the Many with a precise, controlled intensity that suits a protagonist who must never reveal what he actually knows — at 28 hours, the academy infiltration plot requires a who can sustain the performance of a character who is always performing, and Morton holds that register for the full runtime. Seven of the recommendations are award-winning and eight are highly rated, and the list is built from the same author's catalog and similarly ambitious epic fantasy.
