I'll update this post with my final review once I've finished/quit the book. But before then I just have to say I wish Nielsen were more patient with her story and with her readers. She explains too much too early and it's getting worse with every book. Ugh, I got bored in the middle and just skim...
The Ascendance Trilogy wasn't everything I hoped it would be. I was hoping for an exciting Middle Grade story with well-written characters and a strong plot. What I got was a moderately fun Middle Grade story with boring, flat characters and a predictable, forced plot. The first book was by far...
After the first book, the series rapidly went downhill, IMO. I absolutely adored the first book. It was a five-star, gold medal, 1st place brilliant perfection.

Unfortunately, The Shadow Throne was incredibly disappointing for me. I thought it when I read the first book, and neither of the sequels changed my mind—I wish The False Prince had been a stand-alone. In the final book of the trilogy, King Jaron finds his kingdom is now at war. With Imogen captur...
War. Is. Coming. Jaron the Ascendant King of Carthya must use his wits to save both his friends and his kingdom. Before I turn all fangirl on you, let me explain. I read. A lot. With that being said, I can count on one hand the number of times a character has made me laugh out loud. When Nielse...
A satisfying conclusion to a well-loved trilogy in the 5th grade!
