THE FALSE PRINCE (BOOK 1 OF THE ASCENDANCE SERIES)

THE FALSE PRINCE (BOOK 1 OF THE ASCENDANCE SERIES) by Jennifer A. Nielsen

Recently, while on my week off with my family, I read through Jennifer Nielsen's 5 book Ascendance Series. I had read the first 3 a few years ago when it was a trilogy, but recently, Nielsen added two more books. The two new ones sat in my closet, members of my monstrous TBR pile. Knowing that to really do the series justice I needed to start from the beginning, I dove in and didn't come up for air until it was done! This series is down right fantastic. Every one of the books will be heading to my TOP PICKS LIST as I review them for you in order over the next few days.

Four boys have been secretly selected from different orphanages across the Kingdom of Carthya by one of the noblemen, Connor. Connor's plan isn't to give these boys a good home. Instead it is to try and pull off one of the greatest attempts in history to fool the people of the realm. He's going to attempt to convince the country that one of these boys is the presumed dead Prince Jaron coming to claim his throne. Connor has two weeks to whip these boys into shape, and it's plain to see that only the chosen one will survive, because dead boys tell no tales.

This high action adventure is squeaky clean to read! Get ready for an ending that will wrap some of the story up, but leave you clamoring for the next book. Thank goodness, they're all out, so you can read it all the way to the end!
