Wonderful story— amazing, richly drawn world and protagonist. I CANNOT WAIT for the next in this series!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I found The Tower of Beggars to be an utterly addictive start to what promises to be an incredible fantasy series. From the very first chapter I was completely invested in Niri’s journey and found myself racing through the pages well into the early hours!
Niri is exactly the kind of protagonist I love to follow she is determined, resilient, and impossible not to root for. Watching her navigate loss, prejudice, and the brutal challenges of Stormfell Academy made for a gripping and emotional read.
The academy setting was everything I hoped for: competitive, dangerous, immersive, and packed with mystery. The world building felt rich without ever becoming overwhelming, and there was always something happening to keep me hooked.
What really stood out was how effortlessly Torsten Weitze balanced action, character development, and intrigue. Every victory felt earned, every setback mattered, and I was constantly eager to see what would happen next.
This is the kind of fantasy that reminds me why I love the genre so much. A fantastic opening to a hugely promising series, and I cannot wait to continue Niri’s story.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. 📚✨⚔️

Wow! This is an incredible story and I wish I had the next installment in my hands!

This world is like no other I have visited before. The cast of characters are so different from one another and so real. And the plight of our heroine and her driving spirit to rise above made me cheer for her every step of the way.

My thanks for the ARC. I am SO happy to have had this opportunity and I highly recommend this adventure to all who love fantasy.
