Ascendant Sun (2000)
Written by: Catherine Asaro
Genre: Space Opera
Pages: 384 (Mass Market Paperback)
Series: Skolian Empire
Rating: 5 – It’s a Gamble
Why I Read It: Thanks to the Mount TBR project, it’s given me a chance to delve into series that I’ve collected but neglected, and Asaro was at the top of my pile. I started with The Radiant Seas, and next in line in the series (by publication chronology) was Ascendant Sun, so no matter how much I hated the cover (I’ll get to that later), I picked it up and gave it a whirl.
Please Note: the premise spoils the events of Catherine Asaro’s The Last Hawk.
