The secrets of the tower will finally be revealed in the remarkable conclusion to the highly acclaimed Books of Babel series.

As Marat's siege engine bores through the Tower, Senlin can do nothing but observe the mayhem from inside the belly of the beast. Edith and her crew are forced to face Marat on unequal footing, with Senlin caught in the crossfire, while Adam attempts to unravel the mystery of his fame inside the crowning ringdom. And when the Brick Layer's true ambition is revealed, neither the Tower nor its inhabitants will ever be the same again.

Critic reviews

"Josiah Bancroft is a magician. His books are that rare alchemy: gracefully written, deliriously imaginative, action-packed, warm, witty and thought-provoking." (Madeline Miller, author of Circe)

"The Books of Babel are something you hope to see perhaps once a decade - future classics, which may be remembered long after the series concludes." (LA Times)

Very imaginative

With this book, I’ve come to the end of the series. This book received a lot of negative reviews, and I was a bit nervous when I started reading it. After finishing this entry, I can conclude the story wasn’t that bad, a bit too long, but the ending was really surprising. It leaves many unanswered questions, but I can live with that. The series as a whole is very strong. It is imaginative, and the world building is outstanding. I recommend it strongly. The narrator did a very fine job.
