I’m still not completely sure where I would shelf this book myself, it’s clearly a ‘made-up’ world but there aren’t really magical elements. It was also shelved under fantasy and that’s always a good thing in my opinion. Basically all I knew was that the story was set at the Tower of Babel and that sounded incredibly cool. I didn’t know that much about the plot before going in. It is easier to accept who you’ve become than to recollect who you were. Also, there’s a map in the book, and every book needs one of those. Looks like they kept that cover when the publisher picked it up, and that just makes me really happy. I also really like that this was apparently already the cover when Josiah self-published this book. This drawing is gorgeous and gives you a little view of the tower. And of course I love that the cover illustration isn’t a picture or anything. The colors fit the story quite well in my opinion. Luckily Melissa also got this one recently so we planned a buddy read! And today I have my review for Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft for you all. For my last birthday Candyce gifted me this beauty of a book but if I’m being honest, I thought it would take me awhile to actually pick it up. Senlin Ascends had been on my wishlist for years and years and years.
