Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

ASCENDANT is a wild, exhilarating ride that had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Tim Gerard Reynolds' narration is nothing short of exceptional. His ability to capture Koren's sarcastic wit and growth is commendable, making the protagonist incredibly relatable and engaging. The story's pacing is relentless, with Alanson masterfully balancing action, humor, and character development. However, the sheer volume of information and characters can be overwhelming at times, requiring some mental juggling. Despite this, the audiobook's unique blend of sci-fi and fantasy elements, coupled with Reynolds' stellar performance, makes it a must-listen for fans of both genres.
