Highly entertaining and totally addictive.
As soon as I saw the description of Ascension I just knew I had to read it, I also had a sneaking suspicion that I would love it seeing as I'm a huge YA fan, and I was 100% right.
This book was such a thrilling ride, highly entertaining and totally addictive a complete knockout of a book on my opinion.
I absolutely loved the idea behind ascension, there's not many books (if any) with a speed dating in space storyline so I was eager to dive right in and by page 32 I knew I was onto a winner. Leonor was such a wonderful character full of fighting spirit but also full of doubts about herself and watching her journey aboard the cupido (<- literally just got the name of the spacecraft ) was fantastic. I also loved how the author explored self esteem issues, hardships, second chances, family, love and friendships.
The alternating chapters really worked well for me too, they kept me gripped I loved getting to see how everything was going on earth and how cold and ruthless all the adults involved in the cupido launch were, and I can't wait to see how they all fair in distortion book 2.
My one and only tiny thing missing from this book was a little more insight into the boys journey. I would have loved a few chapters getting to see how they were fairing with the speed dating sessions but fingers crossed there's a little more from them in book 2 which I'm so excited for, October can't come quick enough
