Senlin Ascends

Was gifted this book a long time ago and finally got around to reading it when I happened to be looking for something light and fun that doesn’t take too much brainpower to get through. It delivers on that promise! Some very fun worldbuilding and an endearing character more than make up for mediocre-at-best writing. I felt slightly cheated that the story doesn’t actually end - there’s apparently three more books, but I guess that’s on me for not doing my research.
