The Ascent to Godhood by Neon Yang
4.0
4/5 stars
Yet another stand-out tale set in Neon Yang's Tensorate universe. This story features Lady Han, a new character, as she gives a drunken monologue describing her relationship with the late Protector. (Very "Dolores Claiborne".) The format is different from the epistolary writing in the previous novella, but it works well here. Lady Han's voice is different from some of the other Tensorate characters, as she provides important backstory and worldbuilding that expounds upon the characters we have already met in previous books. I didn't quite enjoy it as much as #3 (probably due to the lack of monsters) but I would highly recommend this whole series, and I am very hopeful that we will get more additions to this world in the future.
