There was no excitement in that 'war,' and I was disappointed. I turned away so I didn't have to see it, but I heard his head fall to the floor.' It was like I was on a rollercoaster looking forward to the huge drop in front of me, but instead the ride completely stopped. There was all of this built up anticipation for the so-called 'war' that was supposed to happen and it ended so abruptly that I was left, mouth agape, trying to figure out why I read over 250 pages to get to, 'I swung the sword down, slicing through his neck.

Maybe it was because I read it on a nook and wasn't paying attention to the page numbers but I was so into the story that I didn't want it to end! In Ascend, Wendy is kidnapped by King Oren and meets Markis Loki, the prince of an enemy kingdom. The story/plot line minus the romance was really good! When I finished Ascend, I was completely taken by surprise. Just finished Ascend and Torn by Amanda Hocking.
