Story
The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

Story
It has been 20 years since the end of the war. The dictatorial Augurs - once thought of almost as gods - were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them. Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

Publisher's Summary
Concluding the AGE OF MADNESS trilogy, THE WISDOM OF CROWDS brings the series which is revolutionising fantasy to its stunning conclusion. . .
Chaos. Fury. Destruction.
The Great Change is upon us....
Some say that to change the world you must first burn it down. Now that belief will be tested in the crucible of revolution: the Breakers and Burners have seized the levers of power, the smoke of riots has replaced the smog of industry and all must submit to the wisdom of crowds.
With nothing left to lose, Citizen Brock is determined to become a new hero for the new age, while Citizeness Savine must turn her talents from profit to survival before she can claw her way to redemption. Orso will find that when the world is turned upside down, no one is lower than a monarch. And in the bloody North, Rikke and her fragile Protectorate are running out of allies...while Black Calder gathers his forces and plots his vengeance.
The banks have fallen, the sun of the Union has been torn down and in the darkness behind the scenes, the threads of the Weaver's ruthless plan are slowly being drawn together....
Critic Reviews

Almost
Huge fan of this series and it's predecessor. Just can't get a wrap around the way this book ended it. Not disappointed, but in no way do I believe Mr. Joe ended it to the best of his potential. The climaxes and endings for all of the main characters fall short.
S. Pacey does a wonderful job becoming the characters, they will forever be thought of in my mind and reading in your voice.
And on a personal note, I was hoping that a 9 fingered old "realistic" man or a develish woman complaining of "pinks" showed up again.

The best in the business
Abercrombie and Pacey is like Shaq and Kobey at there peak, unstoppable! Not gonna lie but I shed a tear for Bremer like I did for Harding Grim, besides San and Logan he has been my favourite character since "The Heroes" but at least he got his redemption, got be realistic about these things I suppose... please let a nine fingered old man make a cameo again

So many good quotes
Loved this series, and this book. JA's characters are deeply flawed, the world they inhabit is brutal. But it's also, at times, so very funny. He exposes every human character flaw to the full glare of the light. The twists and turns keep coming and there is barely ever a dull moment. JA also has a deft touch with the use of magic - it's there, but it is, for the most part, sensibly in the background.
Oh, and the narration is excellent too.

Pacey and Abercrombie is a match made in heaven
As with all Joe's works, the story is powerful and the narration of Pacey is unparralelled
