Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was hooked from the start by 'Ascendant'. Holt's journey from lowly servant to dragon rider is compelling, and his relationship with his dragon, Ember, is beautifully woven. Kenny's narration is a real treat, his voice perfectly capturing the harsh, unforgiving world of the Crag. The pacing is excellent, balancing action-packed scenes with quieter moments of character development. My only critique is that some secondary characters could have been more fully fleshed out. But overall, 'Ascendant' is a thrilling, dark fantasy that stands out in its genre.
