![]() ![]() I wasn’t cool enough to check it out before it was mainstream, but now that it is…. This may be a weird way to start a review, but I’m really happy for Josiah Bancroft – he started out as a self-published author, but through the efforts of he and his readers he’s now been picked up by Orbit! That’s a big deal!!! I initially heard about Senlin Ascends when it was going through the rounds of SPFBO – I was curious but just didn’t have the time to pick it up. This quiet man of letters must become a man of action. But if he hopes to find his wife, he will have to do more than just endure. He must survive betrayal, assassination, and the long guns of a flying fortress. Senlin is determined to find Marya, but to do so he’ll have to navigate madhouses, ballrooms, and burlesque theaters. ![]() Soon after arriving for his honeymoon at the Tower, the mild-mannered headmaster of a small village school, Thomas Senlin, gets separated from his wife, Marya, in the overwhelming swarm of tourists, residents, and miscreants. ![]() It is a world of geniuses and tyrants, of airships and steam engines, of unusual animals and mysterious machines. ![]() Immense as a mountain, the ancient Tower holds unnumbered ringdoms, warring and peaceful, stacked one on the other like the layers of a cake. The Tower of Babel is the greatest marvel in the world. My Rating: 4.0/5.0 A copy of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
