New 5 star review on Amazon for The Road to Ascendance: Wow. This story grabbed me right from the start and never let go. Its not so much the actual story, which is your basic destined heroes versus dire evil, that makes The Road To Ascendance sing. Now, I happen to like this particular plot. Some may think it overdone, but not me. Especially when the story is as well written and gripping as this one. This book flows perfectly. The pacing is spot on and a delightful mixture of darkness and light. But its the characters who are the real delight. Wonderfully flawed and perfectly real, they practically breathe right off the page. The heroes arent entirely heroic and the villains arent completely villainous. Shades of grey, thats where this story lives and I loved every minute of it. And the fight scenes. Incredible. I cant recall the last time I read fight scenes that move as smoothly as those in this novel. Ive read some fantastic fantasy books lately, but this one tops them all. I cant recommend it enough. The only flaw, the only thing that really irritated me, was such a trivial thing, yet I feel compelled to mention it. The characters say ya instead of you a lot, which bothered me. Im not sure why, but it did. Other than that, I cant say a single other bad word about this novel. I will definitely be reading more work by this fabulous author.
