Christina's BookReview
“Princess."
He smiled up at me, but it was weak. "If I'd known that this is what it
would take to get you to hold me, I would've collapsed a long time
ago.”
“I don't want only one night. I want all the nights. I want all of you, forever.”
After
re-reading Ascend and the whole Trylle Trilogy I have to say I had
forgotten how much I enjoyed this series! I would recommend it nonstop
and knew I loved it but when reading again I forgot just how much!
Ascend
picks up a few months after Torn finished. Wendy is now slowly taking
over the responsibilities of a Queen. The people of Trylle are giving
Wendy a hard time because of her being a mix of Vittra and Trylle but
she is adamant of showing them that she will be a good ruler. On top of
that she is battling her growing feelings for Loki, trying to push away
her feelings for Finn, and planning her wedding to someone she likes but
doesn't love. It is much more then any 18 yr old girl can handle.
In
Ascend we not only see Wendy grow up but we see her finally become the
Queen that everyone knew she would be. She fights for her people, wants
change for them in the form of equality, she would sacrifice herself for
them. We see a lot of devastation in Ascend but we also see a lot of
unity. We see how Wendy and Tove both as Prince and Princess/Queen and
King start to make changes little by little.
I loved the dynamic
of Tove/Wendy, not a romantic dynamic but as rulers and leaders. Both
were strong and both wanted the same for their kingdom. I believed that
they did the right thing in uniting for the kingdom but was sad because
they both didn't love each other. Which leads me to Finn and Loki. In
Ascend Wendy finally gets fed up with Finns aloofness and decides that
its time to move on. After breaking things with Finn she is surprised to
realize that she cares about Loki much more then she realized. When he
shows up at her stairs, beat to an inch of his death and asking for
Amnesty, Wendy quickly takes care of him and grows protective of him.
During the time that Loki is staying in the palace Wendy and he spend
more time together and as their love blossoms we see another side of
Loki that makes us root for them to be together and have their happily
ever after.
In Ascend there is a lot of character development and
alot of loss but it is what makes the series so great. I loved this
series and hope that others enjoy it as much. If you haven't tried this
do yourself a favor a pick it up!
