About this listen

A world divided.
A queendom without an heir.
An ancient enemy awakens.

The House of Berethnet has ruled Inys for a thousand years. Still unwed, Queen Sabran the Ninth must conceive a daughter to protect her realm from destruction - but assassins are getting closer to her door.

Ead Duryan is an outsider at court. Though she has risen to the position of lady-in-waiting, she is loyal to a hidden society of mages. Ead keeps a watchful eye on Sabran, secretly protecting her with forbidden magic.

Across the dark sea, Tané has trained to be a dragonrider since she was a child but is forced to make a choice that could see her life unravel. Meanwhile, the divided East and West refuse to parley, and forces of chaos are rising from their sleep.

Oh this was a fantastic fantasy! What a wonderful story about Eastern and Western worlds coming together to fight the common enemy, leaving behind all their traditions and beliefs. So much history and so many twists and secrets unraveling at each step forward. Each character was an important part in the entire journey. I was left with such silence after I was done with the book. I lived in the world for such a short time and yet it felt like a lifetime. The rise of the Nameless One and his vanquish was painted out to perfection with such detailing that I felt at the middle of it all. A grand book indeed. Worthy of all the praises bestowed. The narrative made it more beautiful a journey.

This is GOT on steroids. Although not as elaborate amd detailed as GOT, this is spell-binding nevertheless. Better than Harry Potter. Beautiful world-building and one of the best climaxes in Fantasy ever. Chef's Kiss. 💋💋💋

An interesting fantasy with lots of mythical creatures
and a plot filled with forbidden love, betrayal and a dragon sized battle in the end. The narrator has a heavy accent that was a challenge to understand and though her attempt to do the multiple voices is commendable, some of them were bad and didn't seem to convey the correct emotion required.

Good one, but really long

Good for anyone who likes the genre. Pacing is a bit rushed at the end though.

A decent read

The book is decent. Not so bad but certainly Overhyped. Should read it once if you love Fantasy genre. It has everything, from Dragons to Pirates and from Kingdom politics to Magic.

But do not waste your 1 credit or Money to buy this audio book. Ascent is so heavy and clearly nit ment for this profession. Hope audible consider this review and will not make the mistake again to have this narrator for any other book.

Overall,
Book experience: Avarage
Audiobook Experience: Worst

A decent Book with Worst Narration
