Amanda Hocking is an indie publishing sensation whose self-published novels have sold millions of copies all over the world. Ascend is the final chapter in her best-selling Trylle trilogy - and you’ll never guess how it ends!

Wendy Everly is facing an impossible choice. The only way to save the Trylle from their deadliest enemy is by sacrificing herself. If she doesn’t surrender to the Vittra, her people will be thrust into a brutal war against an unbeatable foe. But how can Wendy leave all her friends behind… even if it’s the only way to save them?

The stakes have never been higher, because her kingdom isn’t the only thing she stands to lose. After falling for both Finn and Loki, she’s about to make the ultimate choice… who to love forever. One guy has finally proven to be the love of her life - and now all their lives might be coming to an end.

Everything has been leading to this moment. The future of her entire world rests in her hands - if she’s ready to fight for it.

    "Excellent Series"

    A very good series that has a spin that keeps you coming back for more.

    Once again the dialog between characters was difficult as it seemed they never get to the point but continue to talk in circles like everyone assumes everyone knows what is going on. Other than that I found the book delightful.

    Wendy is faced with the loss of her mother, the overbearing force of her farther killing off her kingdom and trying to please people who have no faith in her. Making sacrifices is not easy when the mass is not on her side. But running away is not an option anymore and she tries to figure out how to save her kingdom without the loss of life to her people.

    "Wonderful Ending"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Yes. The Trylle Trilogy was incredible. Amanda really knows how to captivate those who love phantasy stories. I could not wait to listen to the the last book of the serie. The three books were wonderfully written and captivate you. The ending was amazing.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Ascend?

    It was when Wendy finally admits loving Loki and spends the night with Loki during a time of a lot despair.


    Have you listened to any of Therese Plummer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    Yes. Is listened to Torn. In both cases the performance was excellent. It was the best performance from the books I heard so far.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes

    I love listening to audio books. I started as a way to ease my long commute. Now I listen on my commute, cleaning the house, working in the yard, whenever and wherever I find time to myself.

    "Great Series"

    I was surprised at how much I liked this series. I picked the first book out just browsing for something to listen to. I enjoyed it so much I ordered the rest of the trilogy and listened to the whole series very quickly. Therese Plummer did a great job with the narration.

    She does a great job!


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes it was!

    "Poor Character Development"
    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    It was ok. The narration was good, but the story lacked the character development to really keep my interest.


    What about Therese Plummer’s performance did you like?

    Good narration.

    "Good ending to a good series!"
    Would you consider the audio edition of Ascend to be better than the print version?

    Yes, I prefer audible versions to the print versions 98% of the time. I enjoyed the narrator in all of the books.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Ascend?

    The confrontation was the most memorable moment. It was both climatic and fulfilling to the reader.


    Have you listened to any of Therese Plummer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I have listened to all of this series books with Ms. Plummer's narration. She has mastered the voices in this series very well.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    GOOD VS EVIL; AN EPIC BATTLE.


    Any additional comments?

    This was a great ending to the series. I read through all of the books within two weeks and am satisfied with the outcome. Good read.
