Shout out to Mark Lawrence for putting this book on my radar! I don't have much of a track record writing reviews on here but it would be negligent of me not to say a few words of praise.

Unlike some reviews, I was not immediately sucked into the novel. I wasn't sure what to expect heading in and found myself as baffled as Senlin in the early chapters. But, just like our hero, I learned to quickly do away with my naivete as the story rose with the tower. Josiah Bancroft has delivered a wholly original, wholly engaging work of speculative fiction. It is charming, witty, sometimes hilarious, often terrifying, and I cannot wait to dive into the next book!
