Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft
4.0

This book was so fun and so unexpected in the best way. Senlin was so straightforward as a character but his actions were complex, and his thinking and what he knew were constantly being challenged. His ability to pivot while navigating the unknown was done so well and came with so much hardship on top of what he was already experiencing. It would have been so simple to make resolutions and the correct course action easy for Senlin and I love that Bancroft did not take that route. Senlin had what I thought was the correct ratio of wins to losses. I also love the complexity of all the characters and how the parts they played, big or small, were not only important to the development of the plot but made sense for it as well. Pure greatness.
