The Strength of the Few's hardcover edition is 736 pages. Publisher Saga Press, a Simon & Schuster imprint, opted to follow the Deluxe Edition design of The Will of the Many for the sequel. It has sprayed page edges, reversible cover art, and illustrated endpapers.

The sequel is also available to preorder in ebook format on Kindle for $17. The audiobook edition is exclusive to Audible. You won't want to buy the audiobook outright, as it retails for $50. Instead, you'll want to subscribe to Audible Premium Plus and purchase it with a credit. New members can get their first three months of Audible Premium Plus for $0.99/month.

Since members get one Audible credit each month, you can purchase The Strength of the Few for one dollar. Returning subscribers typically aren't eligible for these deals, but even the $14.95/month price for Audible Premium Plus saves you a lot of money on the audiobook. Premium Plus members can purchase additional credits for $15, which allows you to buy The Strength of the Few for a $20 less than the cash price for members.

The Strength of the Few picks up where The Will of the Many left off, so it's essential to read the first book. The epic fantasy series is set in a fictional world called Caten. Islington drew inspiration from the Roman Republic, specifically the Golden Age.
