Good morning peeps, well today we are back to the dystopian world of Matthew S Cox and the final book in the Faded Skies series . Lets dive into ASCENDANT REVOLUTION.
BOOK BLURB
Nine-year-old Maya dreads living in the Habitation District with her new family. It’s not the lack of video games or her shabby clothes, or even wondering if she’ll eat from day to day—it’s the giant target on her back.
Her ex-mother’s offer of a truce scares her more than any threat the woman could have made. Both her new parents are former Special Operations soldiers, but even that provides little sense of safety. Barely a week goes by without an abduction attempt over her connection to Ascendant Pharmaceuticals.After one such random attack, Maya discovers information that leads the Brigade to come up with a risky plan: use her unique combination of small size and large brain in an operation that could end the Ascendant threat for good. Hoping to peel the target off her back, Maya accepts the mission.
Her Brigade friends assure her it’s completely safe.
Freakishly intelligent kids can do many things well, but commando raids aren’t on the list. Her idealism leads to real bullets flying, crushing her hopes to live like a normal child. She’ll be happy to live at all.
MY REVIEW
Maya and the gang are back and trying to figure out what to do about Maya's ex mother Vanessa and what her plans are. After a random attack on one of her friends sister. Maya finds out some info that will let the Brigade finally end Ascendant for good . With her small size and her big brain she accepts the mission and maybe finally get the target off her back for good. Everyone assures her that it is safe . But like with everything commando raids are on her bucket list and when real bullets she doesn't think that she will survive to have that free life she is so looking for.
Maya is really becoming a little vigilante when taking on the powers that be. She is still sweet and just wants to live a normal life with her family and friends She has done so much with the Brigade and is getting really good at getting kidnapped. She wants revenge on Vanessa the woman who well tried to be her mother but all she did was use Maya. Sarah is still the little bodyguard for Maya even though Maya has taught her more about what it is like to be a family and asking for help. Sarah is one brave little lady but we do get to see her become more like a kid and letting her guard down a bit. Genna and Pope are back making the little family complete. They truly care for and love Maya and Sarah and they also want to take out Ascendant and stop the world from getting Fade. They are all so well written and you will really care for them they all have grown and become more and more complex with each book. I truly cared for Maya and the gang.
This is a bittersweet book for me, I kind of didn't want it to end. I truly enjoyed reading this series . The characters were so interesting and well written. Each one of them were complex and you truly going to love them. The author creates such a complex universe in his books and you will get sucked in. You have to read the books in order so you can see and feel how the characters grow through out . If you like dystopian books this is the series for you .
