* Disclaimer:I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. *

The writing in The Tower of Blue is very imaginative and intelligent, but the plot left me hanging. It is unclear if this is meant to be a work in a series or if it will be a standalone. If it is part of a series, I think there is quite a bit to be explored and there is a good chance that the follow up could be very intriguing. I enjoyed this read and would have certainly rated it higher if I knew there was more to come. As it is, I liked the world that Locsh created and appreciated the journey (both physical and emotional) that his narrative takes Arnold on. I just needed things fleshed out a bit more. Though I like having to make some of my own conclusions as a reader, this felt like it expected too much to be decided outside of the written pages.
