- Goldens4LifeEnthralling - A Must Read and a Must Re-ReadThis second installment of Hierarchy was a riveting and engrossing. The Vis we know and love has been split into three persons on three different worlds. It was fascinating to see the individual character development of each of them throughout the story, even though they're the same person! The scale of this book is so vast, and Islington captures the stakes and grandeur of Vis's situations impeccably. I laughed, cried, and smiled through each of Vis's pair of eyes. I can't wait for the third book. My next read will be a direct re-read of the Strength of the Few, because I'm not ready to leave Res, Obiteum, or Luceum yet!
- LB SongAMAZING series, I’m hookedJust finished binging this book after it was released a couple of weeks ago. I absolutely loved it! It’s my favorite fantasy series so far. Excellent writing, world building, character growth, and just the right amount of complexity for me (I lose interest with complex series like the wheel of time). I loved it and am now convinced to join his patreon to keep reading more :)
- SteveOverall this Kindle eBook is great and engagingOverall this Kindle eBook is great. This Kindle eBook is also engaging. I like the detailed descriptions, the characters, the dialogue, the pace, and most of the complex original plot in this novel. I like that the copy of Vis trapped in Luceum became practical. I like that the author typed Vis’ thoughts in italics. Some of the sentences in this novel aren’t grammatically correct. The author didn’t capitalize the first letter in the first word in three of the sentences in this novel. I rate this Kindle eBook four out of five stars.
- StarFlyBuckle UpLadies and Gentlemen, please buckle your seatbelts. This picks up right where TWOTM leaves off, and doesn’t slow down. This installment is, in my opinion, a good deal darker than the first, and the pacing at times can feel inconsistent, however that is attributed to our 3 Vis’ who aren’t all learning the same things at the times. Each journey is necessary, and it’s a wild ride from beginning to end.
- BDThe Hierarchy series constitute the Best Books of the Decade.Islington is magical. I had my doubts about the three worlds. But he makes it work. He SO makes it work. And what a relief after the Sanderson disaster WOT. Great writing, great plotting, constant clever surprises with internal cohesion. Best book of the decade.
- Aaron SchachtReally goodIslington rises to a new level as Strenght of the Few exceeds the foundation laid by Will of the Many. He is leagues beyond the Licanius trilogy with this work. This collective work has it all…settings, character development, the hero.
- Erin L.Excited!Very excited to read this book! There is a reversible cover, but there is a spelling error on the spine on the reversed side. “Hierarchy” is spelt “Heirarchy”. Silly! Love the option to flip the cover, though.
- DavidNo cover?Got my order on time but a little disappointed that it didn’t come with the paper cover. Is this how it was supposed to come?
