This was a really enjoyable book, fantastic world building and great idea.

I thought this a very good retelling on the idea of what really happened behind fairy tales. Everyone knows the classic stories of Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty. But here a story is told of all the things the fairy-tale glossed over, as well as the aftermath of those epic quests. Set 100 years after the last fairy-tale, we read about Marek and Enyo. Two very different people in a world that doesn't like fairy-tale creatures. The story tends to jump forward in time a bit between chapters. I felt like I missed some personal growth from the characters that led to their current decisions.

Thanks to Netgalley and Curiosity Quills Press for giving me this book to review.

The Tower Must Fall had an interesting premise and had lots of fairytales mentioned. However, the story was slow paced and the writing felt a bit jumpy. Marek was easy going, clumsy and naïve but also a dreamer and is dedicated. Eyno was not comfortable in her own skin and was looking for redemption. The Tower Must Fall was an OK book with an interesting story and a lot of unanswered questions.
