A depth of imagination married with a poetic turn of phrase and an engaging cast of characters conspire to deliver an epic story soaring high above the clouds."- Fantasy Faction, "More than deserving of advance buzz and initial self-published success, Josiah Bancroft's Senlin Ascends is an early contender for year-end best lists, and a towering achievement in weird fantasy."- B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog, " Senlin Ascends is one of the best reads I've had in ages. 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, assassins, and the illusions of the Tower. 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 luxury and menace, 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. One of my favorite books of all time - Mark Lawrence The Tower of Babel is the greatest marvel in the world. The first book in the word-of-mouth phenomenon debut fantasy series about one man's dangerous journey through a labyrinthine world.
