Should You Read The Will of the Many? | Book Review

Reading with Rebecca Nicole 2024-09-09 | Talking about what I liked and didn't like about The Will of the Many by James Islington. I might have an unpopular opinion on this one

I forgot to mention the blind representation when filming this review!! We have a blind character in this book who is a super powerful magic user, and uses the magic is a way that completely negates her blindness. This makes blindness a cool feature, and doesn't deal with any of the struggles a blind person would have.

If you want to see me talk about this more, this link should start at that section of my reading vlog
