Summary
In the wake of their terrifying escape from Fairhaven Hall, sisters Jess and Hannah Ballard find themselves on the run, pursued by the two most powerful groups in the history of the spirit world.
On one side, the Durupinen, determined to capture the girls and prevent their role in an ancient prophecy that promises to destroy them and unleash the spirit hordes on the earth. On the other side, the Necromancers, ancient enemies of the Durupinen, hell-bent on bringing the same prophecy to fruition. When the girls are betrayed and one of them falls into the Necromancers’ hands, both face decisions with cataclysmic consequences.
Will the lure of power prove too great to resist, or will the bond between the sisters survive this last, most crucial of tests?
Spirit Ascendancy is the much anticipated third and final instalment of E.E. Holmes’ award-winning Gateway Trilogy.

Another great book in the series
I listened to all of the Jess Ballard books, and Ii am reviewing them altogether.
Good: A great idea for a story. It could have been confusing but easy to follow and well written. Make sure you start with Spirit Legacy - I started The Gateway Tracker book one, which was the fourth book! The story kept me listening, and I liked the main character. The ending of the series was very good. The story references genuine groups and myths but is unique.
Bad: A couple of the books had a different narrator who had a beautiful southern U.S. accent, which didn't suit the character's background, but at least she could do a cockney accent and a Scottish one. Most of the books were nattated by somebody who is offensively bad.
The character of Finn is just awful. He has no personality, is a stereotype, and says "properly" on repeat in the first two books. His character is made much worse by the terrible narration, and his accent doesn't match his coloquialisms.
One character is referred to as " Cat Tree Owner" by every character - for the record, nobody in England, Scotland, or Ireland would pronounce Catriona that way! Nor would an English man call a route a "rowt."
Every Scottish character was mentally disturbed. Again, this may have been the narrator's fault, but possibly not.
The story is good, but a couple of things were never explained, such as why nobody outside the Duropinan world wondered where cremated bodies went, or whether scouted grooms knew the truth.
The story was dragged out too long, and would have been better as six or seven books.
Having said all of this, I still feel that the book series is excellent, but the narrator is appalling

great story & characters...production & sound poor
I have re- reviewed...felt guilty as slated before due to book 1 narrator changing...the production of sound is poor and the narrator at times. Other reviewers commented similarly on accents. However this shld not affect the story which turned out to be great, exciting and enticing. The accents actually were not too bad and I ended up admiring the narrator; Scottish accent to American, to posh English to cockney in a few sentences was impressive. Just some American prononciations in English annoyed me like missing much needed constanants!!!!!! loved Savvy to death, and Milo. Also, a few similarities were had with the rathes & Harry Potter, & a other films BUT still, only similarities...was a great story.

loved it
Loved the story but not too sure about the narrator. I cannot understand why they feel the need to put on the awful voices

Better read than heard.
I love this series as far as story line goes but- oh my gosh- the narrator’s accents are nothing short of offensive and deeply uncomfortable. I’m Scottish and live in the U.K. and not one of those supposed accents sound remotely like anything anyone speaks here.
The Scottish and cockney accents in particular are so bad I longed for those sections to pass quickly.
I’m going to return to reading these instead of listening.
