Somewhat uneven, but I still can't deny it full marks. In this book, White Wolf wraps up its successful, if often misunderstood, Mage: the Ascension line, providing four options for ending the world.
Of course, there are a few problems. Of the five options presented, one doesn't really end the world and one is pretty... well... lame. And then there's the problem of who would want to end a world as rich and fantastic as Mage!
Despite it's failing, though, Ascension gives Mage a proper send-off, and is a good addition to any Mage lover's library.

I hope that White Wolf saw increased sales after they ended their longstanding World of Darkness setting. Given the hurt feelings and disappointment of everyone I've spoken to on the subject, I somehow doubt it.
Oh well. Nothing gold can stay.
