In the first book we meet Sage, a rugged, funny, orphan who causes all kinds of trouble. He is disrespectful, relatively criminal, and very creative in his shenanigans. Not to give away any of the suspense in this amazing read but Sage undergoes a major transformation from orphan to prisoner to pirate to king. It's an edge of your seat kind of series as Sage is very likable and many harsh situations come his way.

The Ascendance Trilogy
Over the past few weeks I have been working my way through The Ascendance Trilogy. This book series by Jennifer A. Nielsen begins with The False Prince which is nominated for a Rebecca Caudill Award. I have to admit, I only selected this book because I am working my way toward the Reader's Challenge Party. I love snacks, movies, and great t-shirts so I am driving my way through the list to win a spot at the party. Normally I wouldn't select a medieval times fiction read, I am not generally entertained by the blood, guts, and gore that accompanies a solid sword fighting book. However, after about ten pages I was completely hooked on this series!

In short four stars for False Prince and four stars for the rest of the series The Runaway King and The Shadow Throne.
This jam really reminds me of the music in a medieval castle AND the main character of this amazing series occasionally goes by the name of Sage.
