3.0

This book is a straightforward quest story, in which a man loses his wife and climbs the tower in an effort to find her. I appreciate Senlin’s character growth from a timid daydreaming headmaster to a more hardened realistic pirate to be, but I found that the plot tended to drag a bit in certain areas. I would recommend this to those who enjoyed the Phantom Tollboth - Senlin Ascends definitely reminded me of that book a lot.
