THE SECRETS OF THE TOWER WILL FINALLY BE REVEALED IN THE REMARKABLE CONCLUSION TO THE HIGHLY ACCLAIMED BOOKS OF BABEL SERIES. As Marat's siege engine bores through the Tower, Senlin can do nothing but observe the mayhem from inside the belly of the beast. Edith and her crew are forced to face Marat on unequal footing, with Senlin caught in the crossfire, while Adam attempts to unravel the mystery of his fame inside the crowning ringdom. And when the Brick Layer's true ambition is revealed, neither the Tower nor its inhabitants will ever be the same again. Praise for the Books of Babel 'Josiah Bancroft is a magician.

2.5 ⭐️ This book took me forever to read .. more than 6 months… and frankly - it is one of the reasons I have been (maybe still am) in a reading slump for a long while now. Compared to the other installments to this series, book four felt way too drawn out and at the same time extremely convoluted. I also got the impression that some of the choices our main crew made did not align whatsoever with their established characters. I respect the writing style a lot but in this book, I couldn’t help but think that at times, the all-too flowery vocabulary felt a bit pretentious. Plus, the ending was all over the place. I get that weaving together a satisfying ending after the elaborate set up of the first three installments is an impressive achievement in of its own but I don’t know.. it was just - a lot (the overt preachiness also didn’t help). To conclude - a great series that just didn’t quite stick the landing for my taste but would recommend nonetheless. Josiah Bancroft is an incredibly skilled author who’s future works I am going to follow closely.
