Above Ascension: Magical Realism Fantasy (Book Eight of the Levels of Ascension)
By amyproebstel
I absolutely loved Above Ascension – in fact, I was so involved in the plot and conflict that I read the whole thing in less than a day. The situation with Willian, Jena and Juila grows even more complicated, and Amanda has her hands full juggling new developments on both Tuala and Earth. An accident leading to a near brush with death and a heartbreaking incident involving Valentina give the story a new depth while Jon’s reunion with Vinia and his little sister, Danika, is heartwarming. Neal’s memories, Petre’s lurking, and the mystery of how Ozias fits into the picture all add to the mystery and drama. All the elements – and characters I already love – combine to make this a great story with a wonderful ending. I can’t wait to see how Jehoban’s plans involving Amanda and the samaras continue on in the next book!
Proebstel’s Exciting & Complex Magical Multi-Generational Fantasy Continues!
Overview: Only eight days are needed to bring everything together in the lives of the Stel family. But when Jena and Juila come face-to-face with their worst nightmares, can they overcome the darkness threatening to overtake them?
In this mind-blowing eighth chapter of Amy Proebstel’s Levels of Ascension Series, Amanda’s plans are finally coming together for her and her family when Fate suddenly rears its ugly head, threatening to destroy everything she’s worked so hard to achieve. In a complex plotline that has led the entire series to this point, Proebstel seamlessly blends together her multi-generational saga, answering a multitude of questions about alien dynasties, psychic powers, empathic abilities, interdimensional travel, and alternate realities as she sets up an incredible mystery thriller for her characters to solve within an incredible eight-day, run-for-your-life marathon.
Proebstel presents a truly exciting journey for fans of this series. Amanda, husband Riccan, and their daughters definitely have their work cut out for them in reestablishing a new colony that disappeared centuries ago and uniting the found samaras—Crystal Skulls—with their owners. Meanwhile, Neal (aka Nealon) is starting to recover memories lost in transit during his travels between Tuala and Earth as other families separated by the two dimensions are finally being reunited. Valentina experiences a life-changing event that impacts her future, Evan as Willian begins an unwelcome search for his missing betrothed, Jena.
In the telling of this story, Proebstel does an excellent job steering each character’s separate course while keeping focused on her main plotline. Her characters are highly relatable, interactive, and engaging—And, each has something huge to gain or lose from the circumstances presented to them. The author truly sets the stakes as high as they can get in one of the tensest chapters in her Levels of Ascension Series.
Because of the complex nature of this series’ overall plotline and the immense diversity of characters involved, I strongly urge readers to begin the Levels of Ascension Series with the first book and work their way up in sequential order to this chapter. This is a fast-paced, action-packed, and absorbing series for readers, and each novel can be read within just a day or two. I highly recommend this read for anyone who loves Sci-fi, Epic Fantasy, and Magical Realism that tell an exciting and complex multi-generational story.
