Review Detail

Ascend is an amazing ending to a wonderful series! Wendy has stepped up to her role as future queen, and is trying to make her people’s lives better. However, it’s nearing her 18th birthday, her wedding, and an attack promised by her father. Wendy has a lot on her mind in this book, and while she’s struggling to balance it all, I found she was doing the best she could. Besides the fate of her kingdom, there’s also the issue of her love life. Wendy has a very supportive fiance (who may or may not be interested in girls), the duty bound Finn, and the charming, enemy, Loki.

Can I just say how much I love Loki?! Ever since he appeared in the previous book, he has charmed his way into my heart. I absolutely adore him, and he seems to really care for Wendy. He’s also hilarious, even in the most dire of times. There’s an especially awesome scene where all 3 of Wendy’s young men are in her wedding chamber. I won’t spoil anything, but the awkwardness levels were extreme!

To me, this was the best of the trilogy. There were plenty of laughs (mostly thanks to Loki), heartfelt moments, action, heart ache, and some slightly steamy romance! While I’m sad Wendy’s story is over, I think this was the perfect ending.
