Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft

More interesting than I thought it would be, a bit wordy / over-explained in the mechanics of it all for my taste (I'm sure it's interesting I just don't care) but the storyline is good and the plot twists are good. Will read the second (and third?) one to find out what happens. Love a devoted man who would do anything for a woman.

Instead of reading, I sit there and review the hours of the day I spent in your company, and I am more charmed by that story than anything the author has scribbled down. I have never been lonely in my life, but you have made me lonely. When you are gone, I am a moping ruin. I thought I understood the world fairly well. But you have made it all mysterious again. And it’s unnerving and frightening and wonderful, and I want it to continue. I want all your mysteries. "
