The Silent Tower
The Silent Tower | Barbara Hambly
5 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
Magic and technology collide in the first book of the Windrose Chronicles by the New York Times–bestselling author and “fabulously talented writer” (Charlaine Harris). In a world where wizards are relegated to ghettos, it is no surprise to see one murdered in the street. But for Stonne Caris, a young warrior monk who sees the killing and gives chase to the culprit, there is nothing ordinary about seeing a murderer disappear into a black, inky portal. The Archmage sends him in search of Antryg Windrose—a half-mad mage who understands the nature of these passages between dimensions. On the other side of the Void is Joanna, a programmer as mild as Caris is deadly. She has spent her life in cubicles, staring into computer terminals, as far from heroism as she can get. But when the power that is crossing between dimensions draws her through the Void, she finds herself battling to save a world she never even knew existed. With intricate worldbuilding and complex plot twists, The Silent Tower is a compelling introduction to one of this generation’s greatest female fantasy writers. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Barbara Hambly, including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.

This month is not one of my best reading months but considering I've got a new job and am taking a class it seems about average. I enjoyed pretty much all of the list so I didn't feel as though I was wasting my time with any of them.

1 eBook

My #BuriedAliveChallenge is still ongoing but most of these were purchased last year so I didn't see a large point gain.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. I didn't know going in that it was portal fantasy so surprise! I liked how Joanna learns that she has more inner strength than she thought and is able to rely on her strength of character. This was my #BookSpin for the month @TheAromaofBooks

I‘m kind of over today so even though it‘s not quite seven pm I‘ve curled up in bed with my current read. If I‘m lucky one of my three reading buddies will stop by. 😸
