The Ascension was the monumental and catastrophic event orchestrated by the Cothellon approximately three hundred years prior to the main story. Under the leadership of Lorelei, the Planners launched a massive fleet of seven levitating "sky cities" (including New San Francisco) high above Earth, cloaking them behind forcefields. This allowed the Cothellon to escape the ravaged surface of the Earth, abandoning the remaining human "Remnant" to survive the post-apocalyptic world below.
I just finished this series. Overall it was a good read, an interesting twist on elves, humans,and other creatures.
I did find it hard to track just who was who and when things were happening with the myriad timelines.
The one thing that truly disappointed me was the introduction of JRR Tolkien into the storyline. It felt like a name drop for attention. I was in the last book, it wasn't needed and almost spoiled the entire read for me. Hence only four stars.
These are great stories and I can't wait to read the next one. I reallybdon't want them to end.
I really enjoyed this series, Writer was new to me ,
Glad I purchased these ebooks ,mine forever.I recommend this whole series.
I really liked the plot development in this series of books. I would encourage anyone who enjoys this genre, to read this series. They are a little different to the run of the mill books .
This book just wasn't to my taste in fantasy. I don't read foul language and don't like such darkness. Sorry I ordered the whole series before I realized this.
Loved the 10 book series. Exciting how all the characters merged throughout the books. Had to keep reading no housework for 2 weeks.
The writing was great, but the story was uninspired. After finishing the first book, I did not have enough interest to continue.
Good fun reading. Your use of expletives on occasion was a bit of a shock as they came out of the blue compared to the rest of the narrative, doesn't bother me, just stood out some.
Good stuff
It's a very engrossing series. Definitely doesn't slow down.
