I love books with lots of quick conversation and fast paced storylines and this checks off both! It is so well written and the storyline is so cleanly organized. The first book is one of my favorites and whenever I’m bored of my current books I jump back to my favorite parts in these. This book is so amazing!!! I love it so so much! I actually listened to the first three books as an audiobook and then I bought the rest and I’ve read the two newest books! I’m not a big audiobook person but it SUCKED ME IN! Charlie Mcwade is an amazing narrator.Īnyway back to the book, it’s literally so good. First in the Ascendancy Trilogy, this is an impressive, promising story with some expertly executed twists. "It happens to be very difficult to hold a chunk of raw meat while running." Secondary characters are equally fleshed-out. Sage is deftly characterized through humorous first-person narration, quickly establishing himself as a beguiling antihero: "I'd never attempted roast thievery before, and I was already regretting it," he says when readers first meet him. Sage is soon engaged in a deadly, winner-take-all contest with two other boys to earn the right to impersonate Prince Jaron.
The entire royal family king, queen, and heir has recently died under mysterious circumstances, and to prevent civil war, Conner is collecting orphans who might believably be substituted for the dead king's younger son, who was reported lost at sea years earlier. This highly enjoyable medieval fantasy from Nielsen (the Underworld Chronicles), set in the medieval kingdom of Carthya, centers on 15-year-old Sage, an angry and pugnacious orphan, who is unexpectedly purchased by Conner, one of the king's regents.
