Whatever is going to happen, it’s going to happen. It’s already happened. It’s happening right now. It’s up to you to decide how you make that count. How beautiful you let that be. -Nicholas Binge, Ascension
Conceptually, Ascension is a novel unlike any I’ve read recently, leaving me yearning for more cosmic horror. Nicholas Binge stuck the landing with a very intriguing mystery that builds up to a satisfying conclusion, definitely paying off.
Moderate: Child death, Mental illness, and Self harm

There's a lot of talk about religion and faith, the characters argue a lot about it (I'm paraphrasing here, but at some point a charachter says religious people are stupid, others have very strong faith, and for some of them it's fluctuating throughout).mandolin77's review against another edition

First part grabbed my attention with the setting up of the mystery but I felt like the second half really dragged and the payoff wasn't as satisfying as the build-up made it seem like it would be.
