A review by cmzukowski
Mass Effect: Ascension by Drew Karpyshyn

4.0

Well I would assume you are not going to be reading this book if you are not a fan of the Mass Effect series. And if you are a fan of the ME series then anything that gives you more insight into the story is highly welcome. I enjoyed this book as much as I did the first one, even a little more so. It takes place a number of years after the first one and includes some of the same characters, as well as some new ones. This books gives us our introduction to the Illusive Man and Cerberus and delves deeper into Grissom Academy and biotics. It also involves Omega (quite heavily) and there is a lot of involvement of the Quarians. I particularly enojoyed the aspects with the Quarians because you got to learn more about their behavior, history, and the Migrant Fleet and you gain more of an understanding for them and their lifestyle. Once again, this books is not spectacular literature. But ti is decently written and provides a good, exciting, and fast-paced story. Definitely a must-read for any ME fan.
