At once steampunk and epic, surreal and yet grounded in believable logistics, this novel goes off like a firework and suggests even greater things in the author’s future.

Every one of the tower’s staggeringly original individual rooms, many of which have their own cultures, could make a setting for a novel all by itself, and the suspenseful plot and cleverly handled side characters add to the surfeit of riches. This book, the first in the recently completed. Upon losing Marya in the massive crowd around the tower’s base, Thomas begins to climb in the hope of meeting her again. 123 Likes, 16 Comments - Deedi (deedireads) on Instagram: Review: Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft.
