The world building in this book is phenomenal. The Tower is not at all what he (and, by extension, the reader) expects, and his journey into its depths is fascinating. Once there, he continues his search while losing his belongings, learning the truth about his dream, and shedding his previous perspective. Senlin searches for her for days before finally heading into the Tower. Unfortunately, the whole excursion goes horribly awry when Marya disappears from the sprawling market at the Tower’s base. Newly married to the whimsical and vivacious Marya, Senlin seems to be more excited about the trip than about his bride. In awe of the Tower for its reputation as a marvelous, mysterious engineering feat, Senlin finally has the opportunity to visit on his honeymoon. He does have one big dream, however, and that is to see the Tower of Babel. He is reserved, professorial, and not inclined to flights of fancy. As the headmaster of the only school in the small fishing village of Isaugh, Senlin has the demeanor expected of the position.
