Reseñas de la Crítica

"With rich romance and twisty political intrigue, The Affiliate is a breakneck fantasy ride that's perfect for fans of The Selection or Throne of Glass." (Susan Dennard, NYT bestselling author of Truthwitch)

It spoke of caution

The Affiliate is the first book in the Ascension Series. A YA Fantasy with a spunky heroine and plenty of suitors vying for her attention. When Cyrene Strohm becomes an affiliate to the queen, her entire life is altered. She is swept into a deep dark mystery full of magic and intrigue. When the unforbidden attention of the King becomes her new reality, Cyrene’s struggles are only beginning.

The Affiliate offers a magical plot with numerous players in the game. Be forewarned there is a lot going on in this plot, so you will want to pay close attention to every single detail!

Overall, The Affiliate will appeal to YA romance fans who enjoy a little magic and intrigue in their reads. This plot is complex, so readers will need to be on guard the entire read so they don’t miss a thing!

Loved it!

The performance overall is excellent. She really grasped the emotions behind the lines. The book in itself is wonderful. After I began listening to it, I just can't stop! I listened to it in class, while I was doing homework(I know this is bad). The romance parts are mind blowing! I really hope to know what happened at last between Cyrene and Edric, with the whole forbidden love thing going on. I am certainly going to purchase the following books and I recommend this book to anyone who loves YA and a good romance.

LOVED THIS BOOK!!

the ending is not at all what I was expecting and I can not wait to dive into the next. there was deceit, murder, beginning of love, heart ache, betrayal.

Good book

Tons of intrigue. A Prince and his brother both want her. The kingdom needs her. She's confused at what is happening to her, hence book two. Good story line. Too many filler lines but still worth reading. Listened in Audible.

Worth it

The Ascension series was a pleasant surprise.
I came back to review (I’m on 4th book) just to say—tank the plunge. If you start feeling like you’re not into it, give it more time. It’s YA but a lot of characters and components so pay attention.
