i really cant wait! Allegiance, despite the war and hytanica's defeat, ended pretty well. I loved the ending, and I just cant imagine what is going to happen next. Is Hytanica going to be free? Will a new enemy appear? Will any other die? Will Nantilam die without having a heir? That would be quite a scandal. I hope she doesnt, I liked her from the first book. She is one of my favourite characters..!Plus, Kokyri is really cool, with all those weapons and the women fighters! I dont like the Hyta More...

The Legacy Trilogy has not garnered immense acclaim from most of my blogger friends. In fact, a full three of them rated the first book one star on Goodreads. So yeah, these books aren't for everyone, and I know that, but, despite them being imperfect, I really love this series. Sacrifice was one of my most desired ARCs of 2012, and that's why it was my first ARC request as a YABC staff reviewer. I'm happy to have been able to read it early, because, yet More...

Alright, I said when I read this book that I would review it. I am now, after months of stalling, writing it. I love Legacy. It is my favorite series. But I don't love this book. I don't hate it, but I am seriously disappointed with it, and there are some things about it that just make me angry. And worst of all, my opinion of it soured a lot the more I thought about it, which is not good in a book.


Alera When she wasn’t drooling over Narian (something she never did in the earlier books) she was More...

Considering this was my most anticipated read in 2012, I feel I have a right to feel so slighted and disappointed by the way it turned out, so bear with me if I get a little too harsh on my criticims:)

Not only did it not continue in the venue of the second book, where Alera finally turned from a hesitant girl to a decisive leader, not only did she became once again as impassive as she was in the first book, she even betrayed her country and friends in favor of her beloved!

Alera is the Grand Pro More...

Very excited for this book. I have only read allegience , have not yet obtained the first book as i did not realise that alegience was the second. in the second book i was dissapointed by the relationship outcome between steldor and Alera - i felt that there was actually a lot of chemistry between them and if she could just stop mooning over narian she could be really really happy with him - maybe this is just becuse i didn't see her relationship with Narian in the first book? but as much as i w More...

Cover:
I like how the red colour of the girl's dress stands out from the background. Although, I think I prefer the US cover because it reflects the story more, compared to the Aussie cover.

Story:

In war, for peace, sacrifice is always necessary...

If you remember reading my review of Legacy and Allegiance, then you'll know how much I enjoyed Cayla's books. This historical series, combined with a touch of fantasy is really entranc More...

Crossing my fingers that Alera will stop being a dumbass n go back to steldor!

First Thoughts: This was the perfect middle ground between the slow pace of Legacy and the quick action-packed scenes of Allegiance. With a fitting ending and a story I found myself absorbed in, I could forgive the few things that annoyed me and enjoy the conclusion to one of the best series I've read.

I’m an ardent lover of the Legacy trilogy. I absolutely adore Cayla Kluver's writing style, the incredible world she’s managed to create, and the char More...

*DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ LEGACY AND ALLEGIANCE! THERE WILL BE SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST TWO BOOKS!

It's always hard on the last book in a series. Readers become so invested in the characters that if things don't work out like they want, it really makes a negative impression of the whole series...at least for me.

I think Kluver did an amazing job of wrapping everything up in Sacrifice. I'll admit I prefer more closure with my books, but other than that, I was mostly very pleased.

In Allegi More...

Can't wait for this book to come out :D in Allegiance the war had already ended, so I wonder what will happen in this book? Will Narian and Alera get married or something?

UPDATE

Accurate Rating: 4.5 stars

Amazing. Just amazing. There are no other words I can use that are appropriate to describe this book. The story line is well-planned, the whole plot kept me intrigued. What will happen once the war ends? Who will die this time? Many questions that went through my mind as I neared the end of the b More...

Sacrifice is a phenomenal conclusion to the Legacy trilogy. The second novel in the series, Allegiance, had so many twists and turns that I wasn’t really sure what to expect in Sacrifice. I am happy to say that it was just as engaging as the previous novels and had a lot of action, despite the conquest of Hytanica in the previous novel.

Cayla Kluver is amazing at character development. The cast of characters we have grown to know in Hytanica are smart, cunning, and persistent—which means they won More...

Cover love! This is the most PERFECT cover! This girl actually looks like my Alera ( you know the one I picture in my head) Love the dress. Can't wait for the book to be in my greedy little hands and devouring it's pages.:D

Alera, Narian, Steldor, London, Cannon and Shaselle, Yay they are all in the final book to this amazing series. I was so glad to see Narian back in full force commanding Hytanican with Alera by his side. Narian is just so wise and smart beyond his years. Steldor is back in all More...

Overall, I really enjoyed the Legacy series, I loved the world and the characters. Especially the Elite guards (Halias and Destari<3) and I loved Steldor's character. The only character I did not particularly like, was the main character, Alera. She was not a good ruler at all and let her infatuation with Narian cloud her judgement for what was best for Hytanica and in fact it seemed she would willingly let her kingdom fall just to save Narian.... Also, Shaselle's character was kind of annoyi More...

I loved this final book in the series. It was so hard to put down. The plot was intriguing and I liked the way things wrapped up. I highly recommend this series.

Overall, SACRIFICE was the perfect end for the Legacy series. With all of the right elements and some pretty lovable characters - from the main ones all the way to the supportive cast roles, I have to say I'm pretty pleased with how everything was concluded and I'm very excited to see what else Cayla Kluver comes up with next, which I'm sure will rock no matter what it is about!

4.5 stars! More...

Summary:
The final installment of the trilogy starts off very slow in the first three to four chapters. The narrative switches points of view between Alera and Shaselle. The voice of Shaselle adds some new flavor to the series. Shaselle is able to tell us about what happens outside of the palace. Alera is now queen. She has to attempt to pull the kingdom together in spite of the largely unhappy populace. She makes decisions that she believes are the best for Hytanica, but she is also attempting t More...

I honestly didn't know what this story would hold. At the end of the 2nd book I thought this story pretty much wrapped up. I was a little hesitant to pick this up but I am glad I did. I worry that many readers won't like the two different characters point of views you get from this story. The first pov is of course Alera and the second voice is Shaselle who's father was the captain of the guard- Cannan's brother. And at first I thought why do I care about this girl and her view point? Even tho I More...

I couldn't help being slightly disappointed with Sacrifice. Mostly because Alera reverted back to being idiotic and dense, a little like she was in Legacy and the beginning of Allegiance. I didn't like the way she lost her edge, nicely gained in Allegiance when she cut her hair off, wore trousers and finally acted like a ruler. In Sacrifice she seemed to go backwards and just became queenly without really getting to grips with the major problems of her city with a hands on approach.

I especially More...

Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales

Quick & Dirty: In this series finale, a young queen must find it in herself to free her people. But at what price will it cost her?

Opening Sentence: The Captain of the guard instinctively glanced behind, scanning the palace’s third-floor corridor for enemies who might be monitoring him.


The Review:

It’s not a secret that I’m a fan of Cayla Kluver and her Legacy series. When I was given a copy of Sacrifice, the third and final book in the series, I jumped for More...

Read my full review at The Fairytale Nerd.

LOVE:

Steldor’s antics at the beginning of the story amused me for some reason. I didn’t really expect any kind of humor in this book. And it was a pleasant surprise reading about Steldor and Galen’s form of rebellion – ridiculing the Cockyians.

While not really a fan of Narian, I did love his mystery and elusiveness not only in this book, but throughout the series. While I was reading the book, I was always wondering what was going on inside Narian’s mind More...

The third book in Cluver’s fantasy series, Sacrifice, is the story of Alera, the queen, trying to find a way to rule her people while pleasing their new overlords, AND while keeping her own heart’s content with her love.

We get the final story in Hytanica’s tale in a few different perspectives, mostly from Alera, and also from Shaselle, a young woman who is desperate to be her own woman but also being accepted. Life in Hytanica is downright contentious – their new rulers are intolerant of Hytanic More...

Rating 4.5
This book was nearly everything I wanted it to be. Now that nearly is a very slight one, verging on non-existent, but it is still there and undoubtedly, and quite sadly as well, this is the part that I will probably remember this book by. This is it, I'll get it out of the way. The main characters never had a climatic, in your face moment of legendary-ness. They were fantastic, the whole way, but I just wanted there to be a time where they stepped up and blew everything else away. Simi More...

Once again I am blown away by the complexity of this story. Sacrifice by Cayla Kluver is the third (and final I believe) book in the Legacy series and all of the main players have been maneuvered into places that seem nearly impossible to get out of.

I've been following this series since the release of Legacy and it is one of the series of books that I do not have to go back and reread in order to remember where I left off. Within a few pages of Sacrifice it all came rushing back to me - flutteri More...

That is hours I will never get back of my life. If I had known how this series would end I would never have picked it up!
Throughout the fist two novels Allera was growing as a character and the the third book she completely reverts into a spoiled, selfish brat. She took no care for her people's welfare and continually put all of her trust into her boyfriend. She is a terrible heroine.
Shaselle is our other heroine in this story. She could have offered a different perspective on the story but di More...

I didn’t think I’d end up liking Sacrifice, considering half the book was terrible and my opinion of Alera went from grudging respect to intense loathing over the course of the story, but somehow, I did. Still, it’s kind of strange, because I really liked the first two books and her character is the same as it ever was - I guess I’m pissed at where Cayla Kluver took her story. At least Kluver decided to write this one in alternating chapters between Alera’s and former minor character Shaselle’s More...

Oh my god. Was that an ending. I really enjoyed the first two books of this series, but the end of the second left me somewhat heartbroken and scrambling to read the third one. Now that I've gotten and read this book I feel as if I enjoyed it, but others would have been more disappointed by this book. I finished this book a while ago, but I needed to get off the high I was on once I read this book.

Now you all probably asking why I thought other might not enjoy this book as much as the first two More...
