Book Review: Ascend (Trylle Trilogy #3)



Synopsis: With a war looming on the horizon, Wendy’s fate seems sealed. But everything she sacrificed might be in vain if she can’t save the ones she loves. Her whole life has been leading up to this, and it’s all coming to an end. (Courtesy of b&n.com)

The end has come. Arguably, the Trylle series has become one of my favorites, and it's upsetting to see it end. Through all of the fights, relationships and tough decisions, it is over.

With Elora so sick, Wendy has to prepare even harder for when she becomes Queen. The peace treaty with the Vittra lasts only until she is crowned, so she needs to move fast.

The truth comes out about Loki's interest in Wendy but, despite that, he is probably my favorite character. His cool demeanor and caring heart reflect him beautifully.

I was sad that Rhys didn't make much of an appearance in this book, because he always lightened the mood and made me smile. Matt seemed to be around a bit more, which was nice.

The book ended the series well. Although I wish it didn't end just because I had fallen in love with the characters, it didn't leave a cliffhanger or plot holes.

The characters and situations are well written, believable in the context and have become friends that I'm sad to currently say goodbye to.

It's nice to have a series written well enough that every book in it is a winner. So, of course, the final chapter of this wonderful series gets a 5 on the beam scale.

May the Trylle have peace for years to come, and Long Live the Queen.
