Fae’s Ascent closes out the Clover duoligy with the same fun, fast paced story filled with memorable and lovable characters as the first book.
We pick up shortly after the events of the first book. Alistair is still scheming for power and determined to take it whole Clover is trying to understand and harness her Fae heritage and the new powers it affords her.
With a fast pace that keeps you reading well beyond a reasonable hour the plot is fun and action packed. I loved the way the story unfolded and where it went. While a bit predictable the ending was satisfying, even with a few choice decisions made by the author that I would have liked to see done slightly differently.
While the first book mostly centered on Clover and Finn, this one really brought many of the supporting characters from the first book into the spotlight. Garrett and Andie in particular became favorites. Some of the choices made by Clover throughout the book did irritate me making her less likable than she was in the first book. In particular how she handles conflict with Finn. One character in particular gets redeemed at the end that absolutely did not deserve a redemption. The handling of that particular characters multiple betrayals was one of the biggest disappointments with the ending to me.
Overall I love the world inspired by Irish folklore built in the Duoligy and the characters that filled it. Both books are fun, and quick reads.
