What a great, action packed read. Love the world building and all of the mysteries within the tower and the plot. Just a fascinating premise and a well thought out plot. Definitely more plot based than character based, which isn't normally my jam, but the plot makes up for it. In the beginning I also thought the characters were pretty flat, but they were more fleshed out as the story developed, which I appreciated. 

I'm hoping for even more character development as the series continues. And I'm so excited to dive into the next one. I couldn't put this down. I listened to the audiobook, and I kept upping the speed, not because I was bored but because I had to know what was going to happen next. If I'd had a physical book I don't think I could have kept my eyes from darting to the bottoms of the page. 

It was a bit brutal in places, but they were quick and even a wimp like me could take it. On to the next!
