If not the best book I read in 2019, it's gotta be up there in the top 3. Now one of my favorite books, Senlin Ascends is a non-stop addiction. It was difficult to put down. Now that I've finished it, I need my fix and scrap up some money for its sequel or I will lose it.

One of the greatest things about this book is how Josiah differentiates each ringdom within the wondrous and enigmatic tower, which is the setting for the majority of the book. You think you start to understand it's mysterious, and then we enter a new level of madness. I'm not usually one that is easily impressed with a setting.

But nothing makes a 5 star for me without authentic characters. And I always love stories where I enjoy the supporting characters more so than the protagonist. These additions provided Senlin with such a brilliant character arc in the end.

This one is a zoppity, 110%
