"One war.
Too many deadly battles.
Can a king save his kingdom, when his own survival seems unlikely?"

The Shadow Throne by Jennifer A. Nielsen is the last book in
The Ascendance Trilogy. I have to say
that it took me almost to the end of the first to really like it, but by the
end of the third book I was fan-girling all the way. This is the story of a young prince, whose
identity was stripped away, left as an orphan to somehow, someday reclaim his
throne. Full of action, suspense,
snarkiness, and plenty of romantic drama The Ascendance Trilogy is fun for
everyone.
Our boy king, Jaron, finds himself lost with his kingdom on
the verge of war and Imogen being held captive by the enemy as a trap for
Jaron. Our heroes separate during the novel
in order to firm alliances and get help to win this war. Someone must find allies, someone must
protect borders, someone must follow duty, someone must bring help, and finally
someone must die. There were moments
when I wasn’t sure if I wanted to continue this journey, especially when one of
our main characters ends up not doing so well.
I do have to say the author definitely had me going for most of the
book, and when at last everything was revealed I was ecstatic! Such a HEA ending and much appreciated.
4 out of 5 stars, thanks Netgalley!
