Summary
Acclaimed author Jennifer A。 Nielsen brings her signature twists and high-stakes action to the fifth installment of the New York Times bestselling Ascendance Series！
King Jaron has outwitted the Prozarians and returned to his own kingdom with one secret in his pocket that not even his friends know about。 He's hoping that secret will help him finally bring stability to Carthya。
But a surprise attack on his own land -- on the castle itself -- reminds Jaron that nothing is easy。 The Prozarian Monarch threatens to crumble Jaron's entire kingdom。 And that's not the only thing in danger: With old enemies and new rumors circling around him， even Jaron's relationship with Imogen is uncertain。
This former False Prince will need his best tricks and many allies at his side to hold Carthya together。

4。5 stars。 A HUGE thank-you to Main Street Books in St。 Charles for gifting me an ARC of this book！ I'll update this to a review with spoilers after the book is released。Part of me is sad it's over。 （As of now， I think this is the final installment？） And part of me is really， really happy Jaron is getting a break。 （Though if he decides he wants to come back for more， I'll be there， no question。） That guy had already been through so much for Carthya， and it doesn't stop in The Shattered Castle。 J 4。5 stars。 A HUGE thank-you to Main Street Books in St。 Charles for gifting me an ARC of this book！ I'll update this to a review with spoilers after the book is released。Part of me is sad it's over。 （As of now， I think this is the final installment？） And part of me is really， really happy Jaron is getting a break。 （Though if he decides he wants to come back for more， I'll be there， no question。） That guy had already been through so much for Carthya， and it doesn't stop in The Shattered Castle。 Jennifer Nielsen sends us on a wild adventure within the walls of Jaron's own castle， an adventure even tighter than in The Captive Kingdom。 While one of my favorite comedic moments remains in the fourth installment， Jaron's snark was on-point throughout the entire fifth book， drawing many， many laughs from me as I went through it， even more than the fourth one。 Along with Jaron， we spend time with many old faces， and come to love and hate a few new ones who are brought beautifully into the narrative。 I am once again so happy to have followed this boy through his chaotic decisions and risks， holding my breath as he jumped into the dark and waited to see where he landed。。。and what he would do next。 。。。more

A glorious continuation of the series that began with The False Prince。 Jaron is everything you want him to be in this book。 Imogene， Tobias， Fink， and the others also come through as expected。 Lots of loose ends are tied up。 It is super important to read the series in order， or you will miss a great deal。 Highly recommended for fans of the series， or readers looking for a new series to binge。 For grades 4 & up。eARC provided by publisher via Edelweiss

I'm dead。 I got into this series 2 days ago， and now look at me。 I fear I can't live without getting this on my hands sooner。Believe it or not， October 19th will bring my two presents: my birthday and this book。Until then， brothers and sisters-in-arms， lay me down into my grave， decorate it with flower wreaths， and let me hibernate。 I'm dead。 I got into this series 2 days ago， and now look at me。 I fear I can't live without getting this on my hands sooner。Believe it or not， October 19th will bring my two presents: my birthday and this book。Until then， brothers and sisters-in-arms， lay me down into my grave， decorate it with flower wreaths， and let me hibernate。 。。。more

*I received an ARC copy of this title through the result of a giveaway*The Ascendance King has returned once again in this final installment of The Ascendance Series。 As usual Nielsen's writing was splendidly done， bringing you right into Jaron's world。 It was full of twists and turns， pain and healing， friends and enemies。 While I was sad to see the series end， it was a complete ending to a beautiful series。 A book （and series） people of all ages would enjoy！ *I received an ARC copy of this title through the result of a giveaway*The Ascendance King has returned once again in this final installment of The Ascendance Series。 As usual Nielsen's writing was splendidly done， bringing you right into Jaron's world。 It was full of twists and turns， pain and healing， friends and enemies。 While I was sad to see the series end， it was a complete ending to a beautiful series。 A book （and series） people of all ages would enjoy！ 。。。more

28th Jan 2021So we finally have a cover and description to hold onto until the book publishes。 （Exhales and smiles） In these new books Jaron is becoming more real。 More of a person than a fantasy of some omnipotent charming prince。 And I am loving it。 While I loved to hold onto the ephemeral and evasive role model of Sage the roguish prince ， and later Jaron the Ascendance King ， who is undefeated， always has something to say and can get out of any situation unscathed（well ，almost unscathed） 。 28th Jan 2021So we finally have a cover and description to hold onto until the book publishes。 （Exhales and smiles） In these new books Jaron is becoming more real。 More of a person than a fantasy of some omnipotent charming prince。 And I am loving it。 While I loved to hold onto the ephemeral and evasive role model of Sage the roguish prince ， and later Jaron the Ascendance King ， who is undefeated， always has something to say and can get out of any situation unscathed（well ，almost unscathed） 。 These new books make him more tangible， more real。 He is no more just a dream of some one I might aspire to be like but someone more。 Something better for sure。 Someone more relatable。 Someone I could in fact hope to emulate in some ways ， someday。Waiting in anticipation for its release :） 27th October 2020I'm still reeling from the after effects of the previous book。 How am I to survive such a wait of unknown time period ？？？？？And why is there no description yet。 Please give me something to hold onto。 Honestly I think the description would only stroke the flame of my curiosity yet I would take anything I can get at this point。I need more of Jaron and his world。 PLEASE COME SOON ！！！The 1st three books had been published in a one book per year style。 Hopefully the next books will come along the same way。 。。。more
