Original Post: The Shadow Throne at FLYLeF (www.flylef.com)IT'S ALWAYS QUITE bittersweet to reach the end of a series, particular one that I have enjoyed thoroughly and has tucked me into bed quite soundly in the early hours of the morning. The Shadow Throne , by Jennifer Nielson, is the final installment in The Ascendance Trilogy. And, it does NOT disappoint!Though born into royalty, life has been anything but easy for Jaron. From outwitting Connor Bevins treasonous game in The False PrinceCheck out Scott Reads It for reviews, giveaways, & more! It's such a bittersweet feeling when you have to say goodbye to one of your favorite series. I only became a fan of The Ascendance Trilogy recently, but I know this is one of those series that will stay with me for years to come. Jennifer A. Nielsen has written one of the best fantasy I've read in years and I really hate to say goodbye to beloved characters like Jaron and Imogen. Though it saddens me thinking that this trilogy is over,
I thought this was a really good finish to the series. I listened to this on audio with my kids, and the narration was excellent. Yes, maybe the story does tie up everything a little too neatly, but hey, it's middle grade fantasy, and it does that genre very well. My kids actually clapped as we listened to some of the final scenes, so that right there is worth something.The series as a whole is very enjoyable, and I loved being able to experience it with my kids.
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. Second book was a bit of a disappointment, but nonetheless enjoyable.Then The Shadow Throne happened. And I am so, terribly disappointed in how subpar this is when compared to the brilliance of The False Prince.Firstly, let's talk about Imogen for a second. Actually, a bit longer than a second, because I have a lot to say about her. I
****4.25 STARS!**** I'm quite shocked honestly. I really enjoyed reading this novel. It was kind of dark.Had a lot of clever plans made by Jaron.Made me giggle with excitement.& definitely had my eyes sweaty.I really like it. Nobody gives you respect in this life. You must take it, you must earn it, and then you must hold it sacred, because no matter how hard respect is to attain, it can be lost in an instant. This is the third installment of The Ascendant Trilogy by Jennifer A. Nielsen.
The first book in this trilogy is better as a stand-alone than with the other two. The second was good enough. This... I felt like I wasted my day reading it.There were so many obvious twists, it was sort of pathetic. The main character felt sort of bland at this point. It also seemed like it was trying to be an actiony-adventure war story, but at the same time trying to apologize for making war look interesting, with what felt like throwaway lines about how horrific it all was. All in all, it
Favorites!!! Because it was awesome and it's the final installment in one of my favorite trilogies of all time that you guys should TOTALLY read!Buuuuuut I had to remove a star for this one.As much as I loved this book, I had to deduct a star because too many things were too perfect, convenient, and well-timed for our characters. Jaron is a smart guy. Really! And he plans things so far in advance. But literally the combination of events that took place were about as normal as all the planets
