The end of The Will of the Many really puts a spin on everything that happened prior, and The Strength of the Few runs with it and it's insane. I don't know how Islington does this, his books are amazingly paced and plotted.

I have to admit, I had to take periodic breaks while reading Strength, no spoilers, but it's extremely involved with separate concurrent plots that are all in depth.
