Why listen to Ascendant?
In audio, the draw is Tim Gerard Reynolds. He narrates the opening volume, and seventeen hours and twenty three minutes in a single narrator’s company is a genuine test of voice; Reynolds has the kind of steady, characterful delivery that makes long form listening feel effortless rather than an endurance event.Start, quite simply, at the beginning. Ascendant is volume one, so there is no awkward mid series arrival to negotiate. Give it the first hour on a long walk or a commute and you will know whether the world is for you.It suits teen and young adult listeners, and any adult who enjoys generous, unhurried storytelling with room to breathe.
Clara’s verdict
★★★★☆ 3.5/5
I will be straight with you: our listening data here is a sample of one. That single rating sits at 4.4, which is encouraging but hardly conclusive, so I am marking this as promising rather than proven. What tips me towards optimism is the pairing of a full length opening volume with a narrator of Reynolds’ evident stamina. A cautious recommendation, then, with the caveat that the crowd has not yet spoken.
