I'm a huge fan of 'Mass Effect,' but I never bothered with the novels until now. I went into this book with low expectations, and it surprised me! This is basically a "heist movie" that happens to take place in the Mass Effect universe. Yes, it relies heavily on Mass Effect lore. If you've never played the games, you might get bored with the heavy attention payed to Quarians and their culture. At the same time, this book is its own side story that is fun, pulpy, and exciting. In that vein, thisIf you have ever wondered about how Quarians take a shower in or in spite of their enviro-suits, this is the book for you.Mass Effect: Ascension plays around two months after the ending events of the first game and gives interesting insights into Quarian history, the Migrant fleet and Quarian social culture. First and foremost, it tells the story of Paul Grayson, a Cerberus member, and his biotic and autistic daughter Gillian though. Gillian receives training at the Ascension Project because
Mass Effect: Ascension Okay, I read this just coming off the heels of reading ME: Revelations. That book I liked pretty well, except for having what I thought to be a slow start. Ascension I think was a less enjoyable read than Revelations. The story didnt really seem to get going to me until about page 200, literally. More than that, the book just didnt seem very Mass Effecty to me; there were some familiar names and all the familiar races and such of the Mass Effect universe, but it just didnt
As I have stated in a review of the previous book by Drew Karpyshyn, I am huge fan of the trilogy which is why I am currently reading up on everything relating to the mass effect extended universe.Mass Effect Ascension takes place after the events of the first game. The protagonist has shifted now from David Anderson- the former Captain of the SSV Normandy- to Kahlee Sanders. After the events of the previous book Kahlee now works for the Ascension program in Grissom Academy. A program tailored
So, I made a mistake. Ill be the first to admit it.I completely forgot to check out the second Mass Effect novel before I played the second game. I have a feeling it seriously hampered my ability to enjoy it.Ascension is sort of an odd book. It doesnt really pick up the main Mass Effect storyline where Revelation left off, but then again, thats what the game was for. But it also doesnt pick up where the first game left off.It does return us to the world of Kahlee Sanders, mild manner scientist
To be honest, I never felt myself called to Mass Effect series until after I played Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age 2 because I assume Mass Effect was another male-centric FPS/RPG game like Halo or Deus Ex. It was definitely targeted to that demographic audience (curiously enough the Shepard's gender was vague even inside their official canon such as its comic series, the movie and their book series) but I began to take notice of the game after watching video game tropes from FemFreq and a
From what I read so far, the Mass Effect book series has the interesting gift of making the best possible endings. Don't worry, I won't spoil anything about this book, but I'll tell you something: I LOVED the Epilogue of this book. And another thing that makes this book pure awesomeness: ELCORS. Who on this universe would possible NOT like Elcors??Now speaking more seriously, this book is pretty neat. Once again, we're following Kahleen Sanders in her journey, this time as a teacher at Grissom
