Publisher's summary

Koren Bladewell's future was stolen from him, by wizards who chose to lie, to conceal the fact that Koren is a wizard.

Crown princess Ariana Trehayme must find a way to become queen before her 16th birthday - before her indecisive mother allows all of Tarador to be conquered.

Great!!

Great story, great characters and great narrator! It’s been so long since I’ve listened to a series day and night, but I just can’t put this one down. Unfortunately I only have one book left... for now.

Good Listen

I thought this book was great. Yes its a little slow for the main character. However, it sets up a lot of the story and introduces a lot of the characters and flushes them out more. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic story, excellent narration.

Big fan of Craig Alanson here. Loved the story and the narration. I have had a hard time stopping listening to do anything else.

# 2 - Needed ?

I didn't love this book but I also didn't struggle to finish it. I think the story has potential so I'm going to read book 3. However I do get slightly frustrated at the lack of momentum, since the story is overburden with irrelevant details, that interrupt the flow of the narrative.
Along with that critique the characters are fun they just develop very slowly.
As always Tim Gerard Reynolds is great and I'll see how book 3 goes.

Don't miss out on this series!

The Ascendant series is awesome. Not only is the story riveting but Reynolds delivers a great performance as always.
