Wow. I was blown away by this book. It took me a couple tries before I got into the book but after I convinced myself to read it, I was sucked it and wasn't let go!
I read the entire series over a matter of less than three weeks and was completely immersed in the story!! The characters and depth and complexity of the story was awe-striking and I was amazing at the twists and turns Nielsen took me on practically every chapter.
Content: Mild violence/injures/gore etc but not too bad. Some romance.
But all in all, I highly highly recommend this book! I'm already wanting to go re-read it!

This was probably a really good book. I think I've just read to many similar ones to be fully swept up in the story.
4.5/5 stars
I thought it was really good. It was well-written with an interesting plot and had both interesting and deep characters.

This first book in Jennifer Nielsen's Ascendance trilogy grabbed me in a way few books have in quite a while! The main character, Sage, and three other orphan boys are recruited by Connor, a nobleman, to vie for a role in a dangerous and potentially treasonous scheme. The characters are rich and believable-- readers will rally to Sage's quick wit, sharp tongue, and overall desire to do what's right. The setting is elaborately depicted so that the reader feels the tension in the time and place of the events. The storyline moves quickly, with twists and turns that catch the reader off-guard, and then have you hurtling off in a new direction until you find the final twist-- of THIS book! I can't wait to read the next two!
This book is a good cross-over book between children's and YA lit suitable for kids beginning in late 4th or early 5th grade. Readers who love adventure, mystery, and strong characterization should love The False Prince !

A great narrator, a fun twist, one of those you can’t put down until it is over.
Entertaining? Sure, a little. But the characters were so wildly inconsistent and the plot was really very predictable. I probably will try the next one, but this wasn't as good as I was expecting.
This book was such a fun adventure!! I love the plot twists and the characters.
