I was blown away by The False Prince and this book was the same. I’m in so much suspense over Imogen, and it’s always a blast hanging with Jaron.Īs much as I don’t want to say goodbye to these characters and this series, I am so excited for The Shadow Throne. Is it February yet?Īnother stunning offering from Jennifer Nielsen. There is a lot hanging in the balance with the kingdom and his friends. The Shadow Throne will be released February 25, 2014, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it. As with The False Prince, there were some surprises, unexpected twists, and more than a few places that made me chuckle. It was wonderful stepping back into his world. I had to know how events would transpire. Jaron has such a great voice. I love Jennifer’s writing style. I was hooked from the beginning, and didn’t want to put the book down. The stunning second installment of The Ascendance Trilogy takes readers on a roller-coaster ride of treason and murder, thrills and peril, as they journey with the Runaway King!įrom the first sentence I knew The Runaway King would be just as enjoyable as The False Prince, which was an absolutely amazing book. Will he ever be able to return home again? Or will he have to sacrifice his own life in order to save his kingdom?

But the further Jaron is forced to run from his identity, the more he wonders if it is possible to go too far. Soon, it becomes clear that deserting the kingdom may be his only hope of saving it. Rumors of a coming war are winding their way between the castle walls, and Jaron feels the pressure quietly mounting within Carthya. Just weeks after Jaron has taken the throne, an assassination attempt forces him into a deadly situation. Who will survive? Find out in the highly anticipated sequel to Jennifer A. Genre: Middle Grade/Young Adult AdventureįTC FYI: received a free softcover ARC in exchange for an honest reviewĪ kingdom teetering on the brink of destruction.
