![]() At once steampunk and epic, surreal and yet grounded in believable logistics, this novel goes off like a firework and suggests even greater things in the author’s future. The relationship between Thomas and Marya is touching, well-established, and, most importantly, egalitarian. Every one of the tower’s staggeringly original individual rooms, many of which have their own cultures, could make a setting for a novel all by itself, and the suspenseful plot and cleverly handled side characters add to the surfeit of riches. Upon losing Marya in the massive crowd around the tower’s base, Thomas begins to climb in the hope of meeting her again. No one knows how high the tower is, as its upper stories are hidden behind a permanent fog, and many other things about it are also mysterious and dangerous.
