Mass Effect: Ascension by Drew Karpyshyn
4.0
Taking place shortly after the events in the first Mass Effect game, Ascention picks up on Kaylee Sanders, a character first introduced in "Revalations" which was the prequel novel to the franchise. Kaylee has since been working on the Ascension project, an Alliance run program designed to train gifted children to tap into their biotic potential.
What Saunders doesn't know is that Cerberus has a vested interest in one of the students and when things go awry and Cerberus decides to separate that student from Ascension, all hell breaks loose as Cerberus agents are revealed within the Ascension program. In order to escape they enlist the help of a Quarian on pilgrimage...
First and foremost, this book was a fun and fast read. I started it in late February and finished it very quickly, which is consistent with my reading pattern for Revelations. However, the problem I had with this book was that it felt very light on the plot which was a very direct A to B to C to D structure that came to a very sudden and somewhat abrupt ending.
This is a very pulpy light and yes, fun read, that ties into the Mass Effect game Trilogy. If you're looking for a deep and twisty plot...this is not a book for you. But, if you're looking to be entertained with tie in to a fantastic game franchise, I strongly recommend the title.
