City Ascendant （Magelands Eternal Siege， #9）， my eleventh read from prolific author Christopher Mitchell。 When I want to read epic fantasy I first look for author Christopher Mitchell。 With 23 books written over 3 series， I need to get going & read more Christopher Mitchell books。 I look forward to reading more from this author。 “I received a free Kindle copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review。" The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it。 Now I need to go to the Magel City Ascendant （Magelands Eternal Siege， #9）， my eleventh read from prolific author Christopher Mitchell。 When I want to read epic fantasy I first look for author Christopher Mitchell。 With 23 books written over 3 series， I need to get going & read more Christopher Mitchell books。 I look forward to reading more from this author。 “I received a free Kindle copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review。" The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it。 Now I need to go to the Magelands Origins Series， starting with Retreat of the Kell。 （RIP Marley January 20， 2014 - July 24， 2018）。 。。。more

The Gods and Demi Gods unwittingly bring back Simon， an Ascendant， only to be caught in his twisted plot to get revenge against the other Ascendants。 This book is non-stop action！ Another home run in this series！

Once again Chris has written a totally engrossing episode of the Eternal Siege。 His easy to read writing style incorporating well crafted characters and easy to visualise places makes for a fabulous read。 Chris has become a master of “hold your breath” tensions and the twists he weaves in his stories keep you turning the pages。 If you haven’t read Christopher Mitchell books before you absolutely should！

I received an advance copy of the book in exchange for my honest review。 The story and characters are outstanding。 I cannot begin to say enough about how this author weaves a tale that is extraordinary。 There are dragons and magic and ordinary humans and gods。 There is nothing I do not love about these books and I will be biding my time for the next one in January。 Thank everything that the author does not make me wait too long for the next installment！！

This book makes my heart race。。 it's fast and furious。。。 non stop。 Simon is loose on the city and everyone is terrified。。 so was I！ A final end to some of the less desirable characters and the demise of some good。。 the dragons play a big role and grow more on the reader。。We're left with the opening to the next book and it's taking an interesting turn i think。 This book makes my heart race。。 it's fast and furious。。。 non stop。 Simon is loose on the city and everyone is terrified。。 so was I！ A final end to some of the less desirable characters and the demise of some good。。 the dragons play a big role and grow more on the reader。。We're left with the opening to the next book and it's taking an interesting turn i think。 。。。more

Cover-to-cover excellence and entertainment。 Like the rest of this series， this is just fantastic。 It took me two nights to read-only because my Kindle died the first night so I had to stop。 I have heard for a few people they had to take reading breaks as the series can get rather dark at times， I've found that all books in this series have an element of darkness。 Some just define and illustrate it in a more graphic manner。 The Magelands is not a series to enter into if you're looking for cookie Cover-to-cover excellence and entertainment。 Like the rest of this series， this is just fantastic。 It took me two nights to read-only because my Kindle died the first night so I had to stop。 I have heard for a few people they had to take reading breaks as the series can get rather dark at times， I've found that all books in this series have an element of darkness。 Some just define and illustrate it in a more graphic manner。 The Magelands is not a series to enter into if you're looking for cookie-cutter bubblegum fantasy。 This has a depth of character and grit that will leave a lasting impression on readers。 I would not recommend reading this as a stand-alone。 This series needs to be enjoyed in order， there are so many different characters and so many worlds in this universe that need to be understood。 If the size of the series is daunting， you can start with the Lostwell books and build out from there， finding more about the characters I know you'll grow to love。If you ever come across an Ascendant on a deserted world， leave them there！ Simon continues his rampage in City Ascendant， cruelty seems to be the only true emotion he has。 These books all flow together and this starts where the last left off。 I loved the rallying， especially since there is so much darkness。 At any point， there is at least one character with hope for a future。 It's not always the same person， but there's always one providing the contrast of light amid the dark。 "We will burn the City and its gods， and we shall not cease until Simon's smouldering and beheaded corpse is lying before me。"This quote sets the overall tone of the resistance， the refusal to just bow before someone who has so much power。 Simon may have the ability to conquer worlds， but ruling by fear， he'll never have the loyalty of anyone。I also loved how the internal conflict of people gets illustrated。 People who are otherwise good turn a blind eye when those they care about are under threat。 We see that from several points of view throughout the story （gods， mortals， dragons）， that's very relatable to most people， at least as a concept。 And the ending。。。。。leaves me begging for more。I received an advanced copy of this story from the author。 I am leaving a voluntary， honest review。 。。。more
