Blessings,I was contacted by the author, Kimberly Grey, and asked if I could review this book and of course I agreed. I knew it was a YA Christian fantasy about angels and I was immediately down for it:
YA Christian fantasy with guardian angels, found family, revenge, and forgiveness.Let me just say, this novel rocks! It takes the whole concept of black being evil and white being good and flips it on it's head.
Ascendant is the first book in the trilogy which will include Remnant (book two), Covenant (book three) and the prequel Revenant.

Synopsis:
For hundreds of years, war has raged across the realm of Guardian Angels. White-Wing against Black-Wing. Grace is the Saboteur, daughter of the White-Wing Spy Master, destined to end the war once and for all. But all of that is snatched away when she is captured by the Black-Wings. Trapped in their secret city, Grace finds herself questioning everything she's ever been told. About her enemies, and about herself.
The synopsis of this story sounded really good to me which is why I was excited to read this novel. A Christian fantasy surrounded around human like angels. I enjoyed that the angels all had real emotions. They weren't just ready to go to war and all stoic. You had many that felt emotions which I enjoyed. I also enjoyed that they had different features from feathers, skin and eyes that depicted whether they were from the Desert, Forest or Mountain clans.
Grace is a young White-Wing trained to be the Saboteur. She is the adopted daughter of the White-Wing Spymaster, Concord. She always seeks to please her father and find her place among her people. She's very inquisitive and seems to want to belong even though she is different. I loved watching her grow from being this dependent child to an independent one. Grace had a lot of "moxie" going for her.
Concord is the White-Wing Spymaster, and a trusted advisor of Justice. I didn't think he was a bad guy until things were revealed about him. I didn't care for him at all. He was annoying and terrible as a father.
Justice is the king of the White-Wings and is bitter about the death of his twin sister Haven. He seeks to destroy all Black-Wings. He is just an idiot all around and his death was WELL DESERVED. Allegiance is the mother of Grace and the White-Wing Air Commander. She is an evil woman with no heart. I wanted to slap her every single time she appeared on the page. She irked me to no end.
Charity is the Black-Wing queen and many believe that she is evil, however, she is more than that. She's a caring and loving woman. She protects her people even if she has to look bad. I enjoyed her.
Honor is a Black-Wing healer. When Grace is captured by his people he is charged with caring for her and making sure she is healed. Honor is an intelligent young man with a pure heart. He seeks to bring peace to all.
Glory is the captain of Charity’s personal guard and he was a tough looking guy, but seemed to be a sweet man. I liked him enough and was sad for his end.
I'm definitely interested in continuing on with the trilogy and finding out what happens next for Grace and Honor in their world with the war.
