Towers Fall

War. Fire. Destruction. Xhea believed that the Lower City had weathered the worst of its troubles—that their only remaining fight would be the struggle to rebuild before winter. She was wrong. Now her home is under attack from an unexpected source. The Central Spire, the City’s greatest power, is intent on destroying the heart of the magical entity that resides beneath the Lower City’s streets. The people on the ground have three days to evacuate—or else. With nowhere to go and time running out, Xhea and the Radiant ghost Shai attempt to rally a defense. Yet with the Spire’s wrath upon them, nothing—not their combined magic, nor their unexpected allies—may be strong enough to protect them from the power of the City. From Nebula Award–nominated author Karina Sumner-Smith, Towers Fall is a fantastic climax to this amazing and thought-provoking trilogy. Skyhorse Publishing, under our Night Shade and Talos imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of titles for readers interested in science fiction (space opera, time travel, hard SF, alien invasion, near-future dystopia), fantasy (grimdark, sword and sorcery, contemporary urban fantasy, steampunk, alternative history), and horror (zombies, vampires, and the occult and supernatural), and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller, a national bestseller, or a Hugo or Nebula award-winner, we are committed to publishing quality books from a diverse group of authors.

Towers Trilogy Book Three

ALL THE FEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS OMGGGGGGGGGGGG T_______T

Where the first two books focused more on ideas of systemic oppression, poverty, and the burgeoning friendship of Xhea & Shai, this final book has shifted scope to understanding loss, chronic illness in childhood, growing up, and the meaning of love & family. 

I personally felt that this book still suffered from the flowery exposition that pervaded the first two books in this trilogy - and I've docked a star for that - but in exchange you get Xhea & Shai carrying each other doing anything they can to save the Lower City ;~;

This series needs to be getting WAY more attention than it is, but I feel like it's been suffering because people can't seem to decide which genre box to stuff it in. I say WHO CARES THIS IS THE BEST FEMALE FRIENDSHIP DUO I'VE READ IN YA!!!!!!!!!
