Prophecies Loom Large As Destinies Are Met & A New Chapter Opens!
Amanda returns to a brand new beginning in Amy Proebstel’s epic saga, “Answering Ascension: Book Five of the Levels of Ascension” as her life shifts in mysterious and complicated ways when the creator of the universe reveals her destiny.
Prophecies loom large and destinies are met in Author Amy Proebstel’s fifth chapter of her unusually creative alternate-dimensions space opera—The Levels of Ascension Series. As in the prior chapters of this series, the author’s plotline stays the course as her main characters learn the truth about their pasts, confront new situations, renew old relationships, and learn their part in Jehoban’s grand plan.
This is a highly absorbing read with a steady plotline and endearing, characters. One gets the feeling that all of Amanda’s dreams seem to have come to fruition, with all the loose ends of this story tied up in a neat little package, but Proebstel waits until the last few chapters of this story to submerge her characters in a whole new mystery… a search for yet another lost family.
Although I cannot recommend this particular installment of the series as a stand-alone novel, I’m sure Levels of Ascension fans will find Book 5 to be one illuminating read. They’ll also be thrilled to learn that this is hardly the final chapter in Amanda’s story, and I, for one, can’t wait to forge ahead and resolve Proebstel’s next grand mystery.
Wow, I finally got some of the answers I was dying to get, the author surely managed to shock me with the extraordinary twists in this book. Whatever I thought I knew turned out to be wrong and the book is now going towards another direction, it is all about the destiny of Tuala and the power of the samaras. I can see the sixth book will set us deeply on this path. You’ll see more of the cute twins and their adaptation to Earth in this book and Amanda and Riccan’s relationship will blossom and mature. Get ready to ascend!
My absolutely favorite of the Ascension series, Answering Ascension is very appropriately named as it finally provides the answers I’ve been craving. Amanda’s meeting with Jehoban reveals her origins, and sheds light on what is real and what is part of an intricate dream. Riccan’s involvement in her life is explained in a most surprising way, and she is finally reunited with her daughters and parents. Familiar characters appear in new roles as the secrets of Jehoban’s plans for Amanda’s life slowly become clear. More questions are raised as new characters with intricate connections to Tuala are revealed. Ascension Book 5 is both shocking in its unexpected revelations and twists and turns, and comforting in the sense that it becomes more and more obvious that Jehoban has a perfect plan for his much-loved children on both Tuala and Earth. Answering Ascension achieves a perfect blend of loose ends tied up in satisfying ways while keeping readers wondering and wanting more. Proebstel masterfully weaves the ongoing story lines with sufficient answers to be fulfilling and just enough new mystery to draw the reader even more deeply into the story. My only complaint is that I will evidently have to wait a few months for Book 6!
