Main Topic:

After DL's disastrous attempt to get James Islington on the pod last week, we thought it would be fun to try something new and review a book(?)!

So for this week's Main Topic we're deepdiving the book that blew up on social and the boys have been talking about for weeks - 'The Will of The Many' (2023). With its Roman inspired setting and unique magic system, we talk about if it lives up to other similar titles like 'Red Rising' and how this stands out from the crowd. If nothing else you should listen in to see IF we can pull off reviewing a book!

Join us to find out whether this book is better or worse than Aquaman 2018, or if it's a red Rising wannabe?

Did 'The Will of The Many' lift you up like a Transvect, or did it sap your energy? Let us know by contacting us at [email protected] or hitting us up on socials, and we'll give you a shout-out on the pod!
