Review: The Momentum Keeps Growing
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 11 5, 2013
Let me start by saying that since I picked up the first book in this series, Piercing the Fold, I have been a fan. The storyline and the characters speak to me and I have eagerly been waiting for this book since I finished the second book in the series, Surfacing the Rim, shortly after its release. At times it seemed as though the time dragged by while I waited to discover the fate of Ezra and Nate and find out how the world was faring after the collision of our galaxy with the Andromeda Galaxy.After reading Ascending the Veil, I can honestly say the wait was worth it. Kimball does a terrific job of bringing the story to vivid life as Ezra and Nate are caught beyond the veil separating our reality from another and Jesca must assemble a team to attempt to retrieve them.The tension in the story is exquisitely developed, building at a steady pace throughout the book. Jesca's situation with Nate and Xander becomes even more complicated and she realizes the time is close at hand when she will have to choose one of the men and leave the other broken-hearted and devastated.The characters undergo even more changes as the world continues to change and as they venture beyond the veil in an attempt to recover Nate and Ezra. Bits and pieces of the chaos in the outer world are portrayed through clips of computer files that Jesca sees at different points and a prophetic vision of Jesca's may spell their eventual triumph or defeat.Kimball's development of this story was masterful. She revealed with a light hand what was happening, never giving away too much at one time and kept me up late finishing the book. It was so engrossing I read it through in one night. I highly recommend this book to new adults, young adults, science fiction fans and even fans of dystopian fiction. I think it is well worth the read.* I received an ARC of the book in return for my honest and frank review *
