Summary
Koren Bladewell now knows he is a wizard, but he is lost in the wilderness, cut off from help, and unable to use his powers. The enemy is poised at the border with an overwhelming invasion force, and it will take wizards, soldiers and a young, untested princess to hold off defeat long enough for Koren to be trained and grow into his power. But he might not wish to help those who deceived him and destroyed his life.

Did the author get bored of the series?
What happened Craig? Did you get bored, throw out your thesaurus, write this overnight and fire your editor? It's like he had no plan for what happened after Corrin found out he was a wizard. I'm so so disappointed, I'm a huge fan of everything else he does but this was awful. He just kept padding the word count by making all of the characters constantly state the obvious, both in their words and thoughts, and it made it so boring.

Excellent as always
I loved this book as much as the others in the series. The characters are well rounded and the world is excellently crafted.

Anticlimax
If I had to describe the trilogy in one word it would be 'anticlimax'. I felt the first two books and much of the third were constructing an interesting story, and nearing the end of the 3rd book I was wondering what the next book would bring. But then, in a few chapters, the story suddenly came to an end in an utterly disappointing way, almost as if the author couldn't be bothered to continue the story.
I read other reviews on the first and second book and saw some people described them (especially the second one) as page fillers. At the time, however, I thought the author was creating an extensive world and story. I was wrong. When I finished the final book, I realised most of the first and third book as well as the entire second book, are completely irrelevant to the overall story arch.
I endured what I thought to be minor imperfections in the first and second book (mistakes, needless repetition, slow pace, derivative naming of places and characters) because I felt the story had potential, instead I should have realised they where symptoms of something more problematic, an author who only half heartedly threw together a fantasy story.

Compelling
Read all three, after reading the first book I was compelled to read all of them, the narrator brought the story to life, a story so very imaginative and well laid out, i couldn’t put any of them down once I started reading them,

The ending 😩
So much build up for such a quick disappointing ending. With 2 hours to go I couldn’t see how the book could end with such little time….a rushed ending that’s how.

So so YA fantasy
As a huge fan of the Expeditionary Force, the Ascendant series is something of a disappointment. It comes across as mediocre YA magical fantasy. I would skip it and wait for the next installment of EF.

pacing was just right, 2.5 days to finish all 3 volumes hooked line & sinker
only issue for me was I expected 4 or 5 volumes not just 3, it worked in end. but I had hope for a longer lead up to the last battles in all the separate regions, plus Corin getting at least some wizard training before the end.
but in end I ate this audible up finishing it in 2.5 days, not had this since reading Dragon's of Pern by Anne Mccaffery
