Review: Tower of Silence

Tower of Silence by Larry Correia
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a 5-star review, but it's closer to 4.5 stars.

Why the 1/2 star deduction? There were a few instances where the characters dropped into using early 21st-century idioms. And this is part of a series, so the tale is incomplete.

This is a solid entry in the Saga of the Forgotten Warrior series. Our hero Ashok finds himself on Fortress, a nearby island. He should be dead, but he isn't. And he has to find his way back to the mainland so he can return to guarding Thera.

In the meantime, the prophet Thera and the priest Keta must continue to lead their people despite Ashok's absence.

More people encounter some aspect of the Forgotten Warrior. They begin to suspect that their culture is not all they were told.

I don't want to go into too many details as they would spoil this book and it is a tremendous read. I will say that for a book with so many serious characters, it also has well-crafted moments of bust-a-gut humor.

There is never a page where you aren't interested to see what comes next.
