In Senlin Ascends, Josiah Bancroft has crafted a familiar yet strange world, one that's both alluring and dangerous. Bancroft does a fantastic job of world-building each time we enter a new level of the Tower. In fact, the Tower itself is an incredible character. The further Senlin ascends, the more dangerous and lavish the levels become. The world-building, setting and atmosphere are the best parts of the book. In addition, I thought the travelogue-style format was well executed. Senlin's journey up the Tower is fraught with peril, and Bancroft does a great job of conveying both the dangers and the wonders of the Tower through Senlin's eyes. Finally, I loved the heart of this book. Senlin is an incredibly relatable character, and I appreciated seeing his growth throughout the story. Senlin changes in some way with each person he meets, and by the end of the book, he is very different from the man who began his journey up the Tower. While I enjoyed many things about this book, I felt the plot sometimes meandered, and the verbose writing made my eyes glaze over at times. Although it took me much longer to read than I would have liked, I enjoyed Senlin Ascends. This book lays an excellent foundation for what promises to be an epic series full of adventure, mystery, friendship, and heartbreak. If you're looking for an adventure story with a touch of philosophy, give Senlin Ascends a try. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The first book in the word-of-mouth phenomenon debut fantasy series about one man's dangerous journey through a labyrinthine world. "One of my favorite books of all time" - Mark Lawrence The Tower of Babel is the greatest marvel in the world. Immense as a mountain, the ancient Tower holds unnumbered ringdoms, warring and peaceful, stacked one on the other like the layers of a cake. It is a world of geniuses and tyrants, of luxury and menace, of unusual animals and mysterious machines. 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. Senlin is determined to find Marya, but to do so he'll have to navigate madhouses, ballrooms, and burlesque theaters. He must survive betrayal, assassins, and the illusions of the Tower. But if he hopes to find his wife, he will have to do more than just endure. This quiet man of letters must become a man of action.
