This is the first book in the Ascendance trilogy.

*****
This book is set in a land called Carthya in a late medieval age when cannons have just been invented, as you will find out in later books.
The main character is a young orphan called Sage who is forced to work for a man named Conner. He is trained to be a gentleman with two other orphans. This involves learning how to use a sword, riding a horse and being taught about politics in the kingdom. One of the children will be chosen to help Conner in his devious plan; the others don't want to guess what will happen to them if they are not chosen.
The three orphans become close friends without realising it but they still have to fight each other. This makes the book full of tension and you can really understand the difficulties facing all the characters.
Jennifer A. Nielsen is really good at putting her ideas on the page but not getting bogged down in description. This is good if you like getting to the action quickly.
I really liked this book because it is set in my favourite time and is full of plots, schemes and sneaking out in the night. It is always a hard time for Sage but somehow he overcomes it every time. But will he be chosen?
Hope you enjoy reading this book.
Look out for the next post!
