businesswife 's review for:
Ascension
by S.T. Gibson
hopeful
tense
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
TLDR: These characters will break your heart and put it back together better. If you want a book about urban magic, secret societies, demons, some angels, queer folks being amazing, and about polyamourous folks this has it all.
If you thought Rhys, David, and Moira were just good and fine and everything was chill after Evocation yeah that was a pipe dream. There is so much going on in this book. S.T. Gibson is so talented with her bend of hard hitting and driving plot that keeps you engaged in the day to day of all 3 of our main characters and the greater magic society all while developing each individual relationship within the triad. There is so much individual growth that happens in this book and I am so here for it.
The looming plot and problems in this book, even when I saw the issues and was bracing I was not prepared and I loved every second of this. I cannot wait for Moira's book. I will read literally anything S.T. Gibson puts out. Also there is few authors right now putting out such beautiful and diverse sex scenes for queer folks.

🌶️🌶️🌶️3 / 5
The smut in this novel uses explicit language and a decent amount of detail. There is a good balance of plot and romance. There are several spicy scenes throughout the book, at least two or three, but potentially even more.

Content Warnings
Graphic: Sexual content
Minor: Alcoholism
David used to be an alcoholic so it is something that comes up but he is not currently struggling with it in this book. But, he does mentally struggle with this throughout the series.
