Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft
3.0

Parallels to Dante's Inferno gone haywire. While the writing was at times riveting and deeply affecting, the episodic structure left me feeling cold. Too much time was devoted to the few ringdoms we actually get to see, and the threads joining them together felt a bit tenuous. Not sure I'll bother with the rest of the series.
