Transcendent Starling Trilogy Lesley Livingston Books

I am fan-girling so freaking hard right now that I cannot even contain myself!!! What an epic conclusion to this wonderfully mythological book!! That battle though....Daaaannnggg!!! Be still, my beating heart.

Sorry, not sorry, for that bit of obnoxious fan-girling. I just HAD to get it out of my system. You understand.

Anyhoo, this final book in the Starling Saga was full of action, riddles, and a prophecy that seemed destined to destroy them all. But Mason is looking for loophole around every corner. As she had been numerously told, destiny is in the eyes of the one who interpret's it. Destiny is exactly what Mason decides to make of it. And so she shall fight.

I loved the growth that my favorite characters experienced; fighting their inner demons, remaining a team throughout all the turmoil, and loving each other with all of their valiant souls. *swoons*

About the only compliant I had for this book (and the series itself, now that I think about it) was that the entirety of it occurred in literally ONE FREAKING DAY!! ONE DAY, and Ragnarok had time to come to fruition and conclusion. Um...What?? Excuse Me?? How many hours are in a freaking day?! Not enough for al the crap that happened to happen, that's for farm sure. But no matter. All's well that ends well.

Transcendent Starling Trilogy Lesley Livingston Books Reviews

Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales

Quick & Dirty Gods, half gods, Ragnarok! Can Mason save the world?

Opening Sentence “This is not right…,” Mason Starling murmured softly as sank to her knees beside the crumpled form at the center of a swiftly widening circle of blood.”

The Review

So please be aware that if you have not read Starling or Descendant this will contain spoilers. So please STOP now and read the first two books before reading Transcendent. Literally, Transcendent starts where Descendant ends. Mason has become a Valkyrie and Cal stabbed Fennrys, so in moments Mason is begging Rafe to save Fennrys. In doing so she has fulfilled another part of the prophecy by making Fennrys the Wolf!

Fennrys finds his mother and finds out that he is Loki’s son, and he was sent away so that he wouldn’t fulfill his part in the prophecy, but considering the love between Mason and Fennrys, things are different than they should be. In the shocking conclusion of Descendant we find out Roth killed Mason while under some form of control by a god. Mason’s mother had become Hel, so she sent her back but all of this is part of what enables her to become a Valkyrie. Mason is working overtime to not start Ragnarok. I can’t say too much more along these lines because of spoilers!

Transcendent is a pretty satisfying ending to the trilogy! All-in-all, these were good books. I think the romance could have been done a touch more, but I did love Mason and Fennrys. I did find it a little funny that in each book these kids are finding out they aren’t quite human. The stretching out of all the half gods unveiling was a little silly, but I will say it all made sense within the storyline. It played into a larger part of the story, which I found interesting!

I want to say I loved this book and the trilogy, but I didn’t. I enjoyed them and I liked them. I just didn’t quite connect with all of the main characters. I didn’t quite get all the additions from other pantheons of gods. For the most part this was a Norse story, but Venus and Poseidon and a whole other host of Greek gods and Egyptian gods just kept popping up. They didn’t detract from the story as a whole; I just didn’t get how they fit in other than with the main theme of keeping Ragnarok from happening.

Notable Scenes

“But even still, she couldn’t stop from feeling the girl’s death in her Valkyrie’s heart.”

“So she could burn down the world.”

“When Mason Starling was a child, she’d died.”

FTC Advisory HarperTeen provided me with a copy of Transcendent. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review.
Loved this whole series!!!!
Wow this trilogy was amazing, I loved it so much and I hope other people will too! It was so good I can't describe how much I loved it! Hope you guys love it too!!!!!!!
Loved the series, hope the author will write another series. Keep me wanting to find out what was going to happen next. Always loved mythology especially the Viking era.,
I bought these for my own pleasure and they were a pleasure to read. My teenage granddaughter likes the series also.
TRANSCENDENT is the electrifying, edge-of-your-seat exciting and action-packed end to a series that delivered awesome battles, mythology, characters and writing. The pace was nonstop. The shocks and surprises kept coming. And the tension continued to build until its explosive conclusion.

With a fierce heroine who became even more intense in this third and final book in the trilogy, a swoon-worthy hero who never stopped fighting for what and who he wanted, a number of enemies whose motives and aims may have been at odds but were each one of them deadly, and a host of interesting and engaging supporting characters whose outcomes readers are sure to be invested in, this story brings more than just a riveting plot. And with the promise of heartbreak, danger and a seemingly unavoidable fate, as well as the hope for a happy ending, this book will be unputdownable.

Lesley Livingston knows just how to create stories that will keep readers hooked and develop characters they’ll love. She will make readers smile, laugh out loud, bite their nails, hold their breath, sigh, and keep those pages rapidly turning with TRANSCENDENT. It is suspenseful from the very first page to the very last. And while it is certain to be an exhilarating read, it makes no guarantee there won’t be moments that are absolutely heartrending.

The story picks up immediately where things left off following that killer cliffhanger ending. It yanks readers right back into the story, amidst the chaos and devastation before adding even more. New abilities will be revealed, new characters will be introduced, new obstacles will be placed in Mason Starling’s way.

The fight may end early for some, but the looming question as to whether destiny will be fulfilled or thwarted won’t be answered until the very end. Most other questions will be answered, about Mason, Roth, Rory, Fenn, Rafe, Heather and Cal, but the door may have been left open just a crack in regard to a few others.

Fans of the series will be more than satisfied with this story’s conclusion and its epilogue. TRANSCENDENT takes readers on a wild and amazing ride. It brings them deeper into the Norse mythology on which this series is based. It gives them one last look at the very loyal and immeasurably charming Fennrys Wolf. It transforms a girl into a heroine who has the ability to save the world.

There will be carnage. There will be loss. There will be a touch of romance. And altogether it will be awesome.
