4.0 out of 5 stars Felt rushed

While I've loved the series from the first pages of Descender, I was a bit sad at the pacing of the last book as it made for a very rushed finish to the saga and I felt many characters suffered from this quick pace. The conclusion was satisfying the complete journey could have been served better by more time to develop the supporting cast of characters.

It felt like the speed of the story telling process changed for this volume. The melody wasn't the same when the beats per second changed.

I recommend reading the previous volume, and then picking this one up directly after. It's a good addition to a great story.

A temática de "magia" e "tecnologia" foi mantida até o fim. E houve o retorno ao primórdio de Descender como encerramento :)

3.0 out of 5 stars O desfecho da ascenção
Reviewed in Brazil on January 2, 2022

Maldito Lemire e suas histórias incríveis. Temos o fechamento da história num universo onde tecnologia e magia andam lado a lado.

Como um todo, Ascender foi bem mais fraca que Descender. O mundo perde um pouco de consistência com a adição do elemento da magia, e a ideia do dual magia/tecnologia não foi bem trabalhada, já que a parte tecnológica foi amplamente explorada na saga anterior, enquanto a parte mágica do universo me parece ter sido feito as pressas em Ascender.

Ainda sim vale a leitura com certeza.
