Customer Reviews

Good series

It’s a bit unrealistic but an enjoyable read. Mom approved. My preteen son also liked it because of the adventure aspect.

A fine addition to my collection

I loved the book so much, the story has developed further from The False Prince and was a fine addition to The Ascendance Trilogy. I also got a rare cover (blue pirate artwork) so that’s awesome!
