Even as an adult, I still love well written YA books/series. However, now I have an even better reason to keep an eye out for them. My daughter loves reading and I love finding great books we can read together.Ascension was everything I look for and more. Usually I steer clear of novels that have so many characters, it just gets confusing and I never really feel connected to any of them. Not true with this one! All of the characters were amazingly well fleshed out. They all had their flaws and their strengths and blended together seamlessly. The romance wasn't just thrown in as an after thought, it went with the story perfectly.The writing was descriptive enough that you felt like you were right there with Charles, Clark, Donnie, Chloe and the rest of them. The action scenes were particularly good and kept you on the edge of your seat while you read them. About the only flaw I can think of is that there wasn't enough focus on the main characters parents. I felt like they should have been a bigger part of the story. Maybe they will be in future books.Highly recommend and I can't wait until the next installment!
