Dark Ascension by M. L. BrennanReview of Dark Ascension by M. L. Brennan

Dark Ascension by M. L. BrennanInterview with M. L. Brennan

Today I am delighted to have an interview with M. L. Brennan, author of the wonderful Generation V series! I realized I had come across something special when I read Generation V, which is an excellent first book, and I’ve only come to love the series more with each book I’ve read.
