Only I saw Narian for who he truly was: a young man with courage and an independent mind, and made to pay for what was outside his control. He couldn't help his past any more than he could help the way those intense, deep-blue eyes pierced me and held me captive.

An eighteen-year-old queen in love with the enemy as their countries pass the point of no return...

Most people who pick up this book or series won't be looking for or expecting to find a pretty good story about politics and war, but this one is. There are quite a few impressively done scenes that has just the right tone and feel for a city and kingdom under seige by the enemy and the desperation comes right through. I can totally understand the frustration the main character, Alera, goes through since she's the leader of the place but unable to do anything about what's going on around her. Th...more

Yes, this is a sequel. I tried to avoid major spoilers and hide anything that might be spoilery, but you WILL get some spoilers for the first book.
Want to read my review of Legacy instead?

Did the writing improve?

Um, no.

The writing is pretty much exactly the same as the first book. Lots of useless information and sentences that say in twenty words what could easily have been said in ten. This frustrates me and I sigh about it an awful lot, but it's cle...more

Shelves: adults

A feel-good historical 'kingdom' romance that reads as a filler between novels more than a noteworthy story in its own right.

The main character is a well-wishing but not particularly good heroine who is given more credit than she deserves for courage and leadership ability. She frequently demonstrates the weakness of putting herself and her feelings before others' needs, and retaliates and sulks when others respond to her confused obstinacy in a way she does not like. Though she occasionally red...more

There is no question that Legacy left one of the most uncool cliffhangers that I have ever faced in the history of reading. Whether or not it served as a ploy to get readers to pick up the next installment, I must admit that I am glad that I gave Cayla Kluver another chance because Allegiance was absolutely heartbreakingly good in the sense that one character made the story come to life for me.

Whether or not it served as a ploy to get readers to pick up the next installment, I must admit that I am glad that I gave Cayla Kluver another chance because Allegiance was absolutely heartbreakingly good in the sense that one character made the story come to life for me.

THE GOOD BITS
{Falling in love with the “bad guy”} I can accept Alera’s scandalous love for the Cokyrian enemy Narian that was established in Legacy, but honestly I just do not see the magic between them. I also accepted that Steldor, Alera’s more proper suitor, may be a jerk to the nth degree who hit the jackpot of marrying Alera and becoming King of Hytanica. Steldor was one of those hot guys with a not-so-hot personality in Legacy and I did not expect much from him in Book 2, so how is it that he wormed his way into my heart by the end of Allegiance? No one was more surprised than I to find that Steldor’s arrogance hid a more vulnerable young man who also had a heart capable of breaking.

{WAR! What is it good for?} Legacy set up the stage, but Allegiance finally delivers its promises of war between Cokyri and Hytanica. Granted, there is still the pretty political dance of back-stabbing, but as the Cokyrians start to show their true colors, Alera and her kingdom are left with no choice but to defend themselves. Cayla Kluver has woved complications upon complications into the story, and the results will sure to catch readers off-guard in the best possible manner. It might seem too neatly tied together albeit not quite the way Alera would have hoped, but I suspect that no matter how trim the bow on top of the box is, the bomb inside will be sure to deliver kingdom come when Book 3 releases.

THE BAD BITS
{How do you solve a problem like Alera?} Okay, she did not drive me as nuts as she did in Legacy, but I still do not care for her terribly much. In my eyes, Alera is simply a figurehead for Hytanica, but she continues to lack the ability to take care of herself or her kingdom and does not appreciate a good man when he is standing in right front of her. Which is not her fault because I know she wants to be more strong and independent – and honestly I cannot control her wayward heart. Yet I am still waiting for her to catch up to my expectations. When Steldor manages to steal the show away from Alera, I feel like that has to mean something has gone curiously off-center.

THE OVERALL
Allegiance rescues readers from the cliffs of Legacy, and it plops down to where the story starts to get good and twisty. Cayla Kluver has intricately crafted an elaborate story with an unexpected romance of doomed proportions, and I cannot remember encountering a more fascinating character who completely changes my initial perceptions of them since something blue.(less)

With the prospect of war looming between Hytanica and Cokyri, Cayla Kluver's Allegiance raises the stakes for its characters and has a darker feel than Legacy, the first book in the Legacy series. That said, Allegiance can kind of be divided into two parts: the slow first half which goes into excessive detail about Alera's daily life as queen – the writing still hasn't been tightened – and a more intense, exciting second half.

That said, Allegiance can kind of be divided into two parts: the slow first half which goes into excessive detail about Alera's daily life as queen – the writing still hasn't been tightened – and a more intense, exciting second half.

Alera remains as annoying as ever in Allegiance and makes me so happy that I'm not a Hytanican subject under her rule. The other characters in the book seem to think she's so great, but I have no idea what they see in her. I mean, even though war is brewing and she's the queen, Alera just seems to mope about losing Narian or attempting to meet him in secret, thus putting herself and her country in jeopardy. Talk about selfish! Narian may have sworn to never harm her but he is on the enemy's side.

Narian actually isn't present much in the book and so there's not a lot of romance. However, Kluver does give Steldor a chance to make more of a lasting impression on the reader. I wasn't really a fan of Steldor in Legacy and at the beginning of Allegiance because he was smug and cocky, but he matures so much over the course of the novel that it’s hard not to be in love with him by the end. It doesn't hurt that while Alera is trying to learn more about Steldor, she gets to spend time with his dad Cannan and his uncle Baelic, two characters I liked.

As well, I was really pleased with the way Kluver ended Allegiance. Unlike a lot of books which end on massive cliffhangers because they're part of a series, the ending of Allegiance wrapped things up very nicely. It was so satisfactory in fact that I was actually planning on not reading the final book in the trilogy since I thought Kluver wouldn't have much more of a story left to tell (aside from what happens with the romance between Narian and Alera of course). That is, until I read the excerpt of Sacrifice. It looks like I was wrong!(less)

Für Alera und die anderen Bewohner Hytanicas ist die Zeit stehen geblieben, denn wir befinden uns gerade einmal wenige Wochen nach Aleras Hochzeit mit dem arroganten und selbstverliebten Lord Steldor, der Szene, mit der das erste Buch „Geliebter Feind“ endete. Alera und Steldor werden zu den neuen Herrschern von Hytanica gekrönt, was Alera zusätzliche zu ihren Pflichten als Ehefrau nun auch noch die Pflichten einer Königin einbringt. Immer wieder driften ihre Gedanken zu Narian ab, dem Jungen, in den sie sich unsterblich verliebt hat, der nun aber auf Seiten ihres ärgsten Feindes kämpft. Was mag ihn zu seiner Flucht aus Hytanica bewogen haben und wird er sein Versprechen einlösen, Alera niemals ein Leid zuzufügen?
Alera hat kaum Zeit sich darüber Gedanken zu machen, denn wenn ihr Gatte sie nicht zur Vollstreckung ihrer Ehe drängt, dann alarmieren Alera die Schreckensnachrichten, die ihr Land aus den grenznahen Gebieten zu Cokyri erreichen. Alera begreift langsam, das es nicht mehr nur um ihr eigenes Wohl geht, sondern um das ihres gesamten Volkes. Doch ihr Vorhaben, sich in einer Männerregierenden Gesellschaft durchzusetzen und Cokyri die Stirn zu bieten, bedeutet gleichsam sich gegen Narian zu stellen und das scheint Alera unmöglich zu sein. Sie sieht sich vor die Wahl gestellt, doch wie auch immer sie sich entscheiden mag, die Verluste erscheinen ihr dabei einfach viel zu enorm.
Die Autorin dieser Trilogie, dessen drittel Teil „Sacrifice“ vorrausichtlich noch im Winter 2011 auf Englisch erscheinen wird, ist gerade einmal achtzehn Jahre alt. Angesichts der Komplexität dieser Geschichte und des durchaus schon gehobenen Sprachstils, kann ich Cayla Kluver gegenüber nur meine Bewunderung ausdrücken.
Sicher kann ich nicht beurteilen, in weit da vielleicht Lektoren und die Übersetzer ihre Hände im Spiel hatten, doch einen derart durchdachten und ausgereiften Plot muss in der Jugendbuch Fantastik erst einmal seines Gleichen suchen.
Sicherlich merkt man der Autorin ihr Alter an gewissen Stellen im Buch an, doch eben das machte die Geschichte für mich umso glaubwürdiger bzw. packender. Die Charaktere wirken ausgereift, auch wenn die eine oder andere Person sich hin und wieder etwas seltsam oder unlogisch verhalten mag. Ein winzig kleiner Störfaktor, der aber nicht sonderlich ins Gewicht fällt. Alera hat zu Beginn des Buches so gar nichts von einer tragischen Heldin, die ihr Volk durch einen Krieg führen könnte. Viel mehr wirkt wie eine kleine, verzogene Göre, die sich rein aus Prinzip immer wieder sowohl gegen ihren Mann Steldor als auch gegen ihren Vater oder die Soldaten der Elitegarde stellt. Im ersten Teil war mir Steldor noch reichlich unsympathisch und Aleras Zwangsehe mit ihm lies nichts Gutes erahnen. Doch in „Zeit der Rache“ lässt er eine ganz andere Seite von sich durchblicken und fast tut er einem schon Leid, wenn Alera ihm ein ums andere Mal derart rüde vor den Kopf stößt. Zumindest bei mir ist es Steldor gut vierhundert Seiten lang gelungen, den einfühlsamen Narian, der ohnehin nur wenige Auftritte in diesem zweiten Teil hat, in den Schatten zu stellen. Alera hingegen unterstellt Steldor zunächst nur alles Schlechte, was mich mehrmals mit den Augen hat rollen lassen, ehe auch sie eine Art Wohlwollen für ihn entdeckt.
Der doch schon enorme Umfang dieser Fortsetzung mit über fünfhundert Seiten ist mit Cayla Kluvers Verliebtheit in Details zu erklären. Manches Mal zog sich das Buch doch ein wenig in die Länge, da absolut jedes Kleid jeder anwesenden Dame im Ballsaal genau beschrieben werden musste. Dennoch ist dieses Buch ein echter Pageturner und man kann gar nicht tief genug in Kluvers erschaffene Welt eintauchen.
Auf den dritten Teil bin ich erneut sehr gespannt, obwohl dieser für mich nicht gänzlich erforderlich scheint. Im Grunde wird die vorhandene Geschichte in „Zeit der Rache“ nämlich komplett abgeschlossen, sodass im dritten Teil ein völlig neuer Handlungsstrang erschaffen werden muss. Eine Aufgabe, die ich der Autorin aber mehr als zutraue. (less)

Where I began this book thinking that we would have the usually shallow, hated characters *cough*Steldor*cough*, we were simply lead to think the same way that Alera, the main characters was thinking. In Legacy she was young, she was inexperienced, and hadn't completely matured yet. Allegiance brings a new outlook for our heroine, with her development as a person. She is able to see past the exteriors of people, and begin to look at the depths. Allegiance show the characters in a much deeper way, as Alera learns to see them as such. I begin to love those that I hated in Legacy, and see the reason behind their actions as their pasts are also revealed.
This shows in the progression and development of Steldor. I won't go further into it, but when he was placed in a dire circumstance, I actually teared up. Whether this was because of the reactions of the characters around him or the from the problems he himself faced I'm unsure. I don't usually cry in books, (only one in record actually, damn you Patrick Ness), but the second Galen punched that wall nearly cracked me. This shows how much I have come to care, and since I picked this up for a light read between other books, this was a huge surprise, perfectly executed.
The faith Narien and Alera show each other are heartening, I'm so glad that they didn't begin hating each other, to eventually be reunited blah blah blah, but that they stayed true the whole way through.
Now one massive surprise were the ruler's of Cokyri. Kudos to Cayla Kluver on that one. I loved that idea.
There were a lot of fist pump moments in the book (like Narian and the Overlord). I love that, too.
And though I hate what has happened, I love the ending. It recreates past happenings, but now I can see many options ahead of the characters, everyone with a different path to follow. The country has been taken back to base zero, and has now ready to be rebuilt. It has set up for the next book perfectly, but I also feel like I could just leave it here (I won't, but I could. I still won't though).
On to the next.(less)

He couldn’t help his past any more than he could help the way those intense, deep blue eyes pierced me and held me captive.An eighteen-year-old queen in love with the enemy as their countries pass the point of no return…

Bound to a man she cannot love, Queen Alera of Hytanica must forget Narian, the young man who holds her heart. For Narian is destined to conquer Hytanica at the behest of his master, the powerful magic-user known as the Overlord. Alera doesn’t truly believe Narian will fight against Hytanica—until Cokyrian troops attack with Narian commanding the charge.

Faced with the greatest betrayal a heart can know, Alera must set aside personal feelings and lead her kingdom through its darkest time. And when all hope, will and courage seem lost, she must find strength and remember that even the blackest night must have a dawn….

Sounds good, doesn’t it? It was a definite must read for me in 2012. You see, I had fallen in love with the characters and the world Kluver created in that first book. I couldn’t wait to see what could possibly happen next between Alera, Narian, and Steldor. Cayla Kluver’s ability to weave a story and bring her characters to life makes you feel as if you are a part of the story too. There were times I would be reading, look up, and wonder how I had gotten back in my favorite reading chair! Alera seemed to grow from a girl to a strong, lovely woman in this book-someone I would have been proud to call Queen, if in fact I ever had to call someone Queen. I liked her more and more as the book progressed. I would be remiss not to spend at least a bit of time on the two men involved in this love story. While in Legacy I struggled with Steldor, in Allegiance I found myself rooting for him a bit. He softened just enough in spots that I thought I could be happy if she ended up with either. And where Narian is concerned…who doesn’t want a man filled with intrigue and mystery? Yes, Alera was going through some tough things, but with both of those men on either side of her…well, let’s just say I don’t feel TOO bad for her.

If you love historical fantasies, then this is a perfect book for you. Published through HarlequinTeen, Allegiance will leave you breathless. I couldn’t put it down. It receives 4 out of 5 books for me.

It is a moving story about a girls allegiance to her heart and her people.

I found the first book slow and disliked the selfish immaturity, stupidity and weakness of the main character, Princess Alera, who at seventeen succumbed to her father’s pressure to marry the egotistical Lord Steldor despite her dislike for the man. Unfortunately, all the women in the story were weak, frivolous and insignificant but I loved the strong characters of the supporting cast of members of the elite guard.

Allegiance started out the same way with Alera (now Queen) being so belligerent towards her new husband, Steldor (who clearly loved her) that he drew my sympathies and left me feeling irritated with her. Not only that, but she also pined for Narian, a boy that she supposedly loved, but since she hardly knew him was more likely a case of hot hormones, and who was now invading her country and slaughtering her people at the command of his master, the cruel Cokyrian Overlord. I wanted to tell her to get over it already. Since it was clearly a marriage of convenience, I also wondered why her mother didn’t step in to advise her daughter on her relationship with her husband. Surely, in such a society some support would have come from the mother.
Alera says "Only I saw Narian for who he truly was: a young man with courage and an independent mind, and made to pay for what was outside his control. He couldn’t help his past any more than he could help the way those intense, deep-blue eyes pierced me and held me captive."
Unfortunately, he didn’t have the courage or wasn’t of independent mind enough to get rid of the Overlord so as to avoid doing his bidding.
When Alera went off alone with no thought for the results for the Kingdom should she fall into the hands of the enemy, I despaired that once again I might read a whole book without her growing up in the slightest. Luckily, I was wrong. The first time I felt that she had some redeeming features was when she turned her father’s scolding back on him and told him that it was his fault that she didn’t act like a Queen because he had forced her into a marriage she neither wanted nor was prepared for. It wasn’t until the situation had become dire, however, that she began to grow a spine. This was the point where the book became so engrossing that I couldn’t put it down.
When everything she has known is stripped away and circumstances leave her as the only effective representative of her people, encouraged by the Captain of the guard, Alera finds she has the strength and the intelligence to make an important contribution and finally to take control.
My favourite characters are London, the scout, Cannan, the Captain, Alera’s husband King Steldor and the other members of the Elite Guard. They are the ones that give this book its guts and strength. As in many traditional style fantasies, war, torture and cruelty abound, which always takes away from my enjoyment of a story. However, the plot became delightfully unpredictable as the story progressed and the ending left the characters in a satisfying place of equanimity and my respect for Alera’s husband grown even greater than it already had during the course of the book.
If you like traditional fantasy and don’t mind a book where the men are the strong characters and the women are generally weak and stupid then you’ll probably enjoy this one and its predecessor. Even as it is, I’ll be looking out for the third in the series. I give it 3 stars.

She self-published, digitally released and internationally released her debut title LEGACY in thirteen countries before finally finding an American publisher to take notice. Born on October 2, 1992 in Wisconsin, she has cats, dogs and horses, and can be sometimes found tap dancing to her own beat. Oh yes, a dancer in her heart for sure. Cayla is an inspiring young adult that frequently travels around her home state of Wisconsin motivating other teens on the mantra that it is never too early in life to reach your dreams. Most recently she started her first semester at college. What a great path she is forging.

Cayla published Legacy in 2011 and now will release ALLEGIANCE through Harlequin books this month. In the first book LEGACY, Princess Alera, is in her seventeenth year and faces one duty: to marry the man who will be king. But her father's choice of suitor- the egotistical Lord Steldor-fills her with despair. Now Queen Alera of Hytanica is just an eighteen-years-old and in love with the enemy. Bound to a man she cannot love, Queen Alera must forget Narian, the young man who holds her heart. The third book of the trilogy, SACRIFICE, will be released in November of this year. So we can see where this all ends up at before the year is up.

I bring up Cayla for my own College Girl. She loves to write and dreams of one day publishing her own works too. She has several novels in the works now. Along with college full time, looking for her first professional position in theater and graduation around the corner, she feels pressure all the time. Writing is what takes her away from it all. It is where she is able to be completely at peace inside. And I just wish to share another young lady who is making her dreams reality on her own timeline.

I have to say thanks so to NetGallery.com and Harlequin for sharing Allegiance with me in e-book form. It is great to read a new author and to have a new place to escape to.

An intriguing tale of fantasy and adventure by young author Carla Kluver, Allegiance is actually my first novel of hers and certainly won’t be the last. Filled with magic, politics and a healthy dash of romance, this is another stunner from a rising star in writing.

At the beginning I was a tad apprehensive of Alera, I had mixed feelings about her and even thought she was a bit stiff. But as I turned the pages and learned more about her real life I came to appreciate her, and the strength she possesses in helping to manage her kingdom. Though she seemed mature to start with I enjoyed watching her own personal growth, and how it came to fit in with the role that she must undertake.

I hate to say this, but all I could think about during most of the book was the author’s age. Now, I am truly impressed that she has this level of skill and talent, and also the drive to get somewhere with it, but I felt it was kind of smothering me, cushioning all of my bad feelings. Moments where the writing was clunky and could have been polished up? It’s okay, she’s only a teenager. A slight undercurrent of tediousness in some parts? It’s okay, she’s…well, you get the picture.
Overall I really admired her style and writing, and I certainly feel she has the right to be published, but at times I kind of felt like a kindergarten teacher who has to say that a squiggle and some glitter is wonderful, if only out of guilt.

One of the best things about this novel for me was that Kluver made Alera’s royal life interesting. Normally I skip the parts about all the meetings and ceremonies, but the author made them relevant to the plot and so it was easy to keep reading. With the added political intrigue that is woven in at opportune moments, the whole plot grabs your attention and keeps it firmly on the page.

Generally, I was very happy with this book. Though there were a few creases that can be ironed out with experience, Kluver has thoroughly impressed me and I feel will continue to do so in the future.

First Impressions: I read Legacy last year and I fell completely in love with it and I was just dying to get my hands on Allegiance. I had to know what would happen to Alera and Narian, especially. On top of that, the cover art is beautiful, and we all know I am a total sucker for pretty books! I’m usually not a huge fan of historical fiction, but something about these books just catches my attention like no other. Maybe it is just that well written, because it is. The author is a really good writer!

First 50 Pages: War is coming and it is going to be of epic proportions. The whole feel of Allegiance is much darker then it was in Legacy. Tough decisions are going to be made, and certain characters need to get their butts in gear and grow up, especially for now-Queen Alera. Once again, I found myself completely absorbed into the lands of Hytanica and Cokyri and I finished this book in less than a day. Cayla’s writing just keeps getting better and better, and it is fun to see her grow as a writer.

Characters & Plot: The characters in Allegiance are the same, but they make some pretty impressive changes as far as growth goes. Queen Alera is complex character. She sort of reminds me of a friend of mine who can be completely annoying at times, but a great friend all the same. Alera has no idea how to rule her kingdom and her marriage to Steldor is loveless one. Her heart aches for Narian, the boy she really loves and wants to be with. All of her actions and feelings towards Steldor seem very forced and unnatural and she spends a great deal of time crying and trying to comfort her self while pretty much ignoring her duties as Queen of Hytanica.

I will admit that I hated Steldor in the first book, but he becomes much more tolerable in Allegiance. Steldor seems like a totally different person in this book. He isn’t as arrogant as he was before, and he tries his best to win over Alera by basically catering to her every whim. I almost feel bad for him because he does try so hard to be a better person. It is fruitless though, since Alera just can’t seem to forget about Narian.

As for Narian, you don’t actually see very much of him in Allegiance, but he does start to make appearances towards the middle of the book. Narian is back in the hands of the Cokyrians and he has to make a decision on what his role in the war will be. It is a very harsh decision and none of the options are at all ideal, now will it look good for Narian when it comes to hold Alera will handle everything. I wish that Narian would have made more of a splash in this book, but I know we haven’t seen the last of him!

Final Thoughts: This series has a little bit of everything for everyone, and I love that! I’m so itching to get my hands on the third and final book because I need to know how the war will go and which boy will ultimately end up with Alera’s heart. I loved the character growth in Allegiance, as well as the darker tone to the story. I highly recommend picking up a copy of this book and the first book, Legacy, if you haven’t already!

This review is really a 4.5 stars. I enjoyed this story as much as Legacy, the writing was still exemplary, rich and absorbing while a darker tone took over the book towards the end as war engulfed Hytanica.

The only problems are with the story itself. Parts were slightly annoying and others had me cheering.

I enjoyed this story as much as Legacy, the writing was still exemplary, rich and absorbing while a darker tone took over the book towards the end as war engulfed Hytanica.

The only problems are with the story itself. Parts were slightly annoying and others had me cheering.

But firstly, lets talk about Alera. I still love her. I think she's completely inept at acting like a Queen, although when she is forced to head functions she does it well in a queenly manner. This surprised me as frequently her mother, the previous Queen comments on how much training she was given yet Alera doesn't appear to have received much. Outside of Palace functions, Alera falls apart. Her marriage to Steldor is a sham, more of a marriage of convenience. No matter how many times he tries to show affection she shies away, unready and unsure of herself and her feelings. Once or twice I thought she would cave in. Her narration constantly tells us that she's allured by his eyes and his scent however she's still holding on to her feelings for Narian and they haunt her.

Steldor changes a great deal in this book. No long arrogant and completely chauvanistic, he begins to show a great deal more compassion towards Alera. Now that they're married he believes that eventually she will drop her guard and allow him into her life as her husband. He forgives her actions and her rudeness with selflessness, and this alone lead me to believe that Alera would forget Narian and actively become the queen that Steldor dearly wants by his side.

Narian is not in this book a great deal, but he is constantly in Alera's thoughts. When they do meet there are only a few sparks of their love. I felt a little let down here as I wanted a little more secret romancing between them but it was mainly just a few words here and there. Nothing greatly concrete to make you understand if his feelings towards Alera had changed or remained as they were.

A few problems I had with the story was repetiveness. Towards the end, in the cave scene, the constant toing and froing between talks with the enemy was wearisome. London went to meet the Overlord and came back, then he went again and came back, then someone else went and came back. Plus Steldor being sickened from his gruesome wound dragged the scenario out for too long. Yes, I understood that this was vital for Alera to grow up and become a stronger woman but did it have to take so long?

Also, when Miranna went missing Alera showed grief in short, sporadic moments but then her thoughts flittered to Steldor or Narian and I wondered how she could be thinking these things when her most beloved sister was being held, possibly tortured, by the enemy.

In the beginning we see Alera as a spoilt brat. She sits in her room for days, crying and reclusively shying from her public duty but by the end she's definitely a different person with responsibilities so great that the future of Hytanica now rests on her shoulders.

I can hardly wait for Sacrifice to come out to find if Alera is up to the challenge!(less)

Notes: I reviewed an advanced copy eBook from the publisher.

Some people aspire to be a ruler, others are natural born leaders. Alera was the latter, born and bred from a line of Kings and Queens. The only thing holding her back from taking the reigns of her kingdom was that her people didn't believe a woman could lead. They were wrong, and she was forced to marry the man who they'd groomed to be the next ruler.

Narian looked to have all the traits associated with the Legend of the Bleeding Moon....more

Hmm .... I seem to be rooting for the wrong side of the love-triangles this month. It's very annoying! I guess I know how all the Jacob fans feel now.

This book was a lot better than the first one. Maybe part of it was that the story was already in motion so we could dive right in without having to set it all up (like in the first one). I also thought the action and intensity of the conflicts and battles were done really well.

This book ends fairly well. Without the little teaser at the end (an ep...more

Having enjoyed Ms. Kluver's first book, Legacy, I was excited to get my grubby paws on book two and find out how Alera was faring. And...okay...see how much of an ass her husband was being.

As with book one, Ms. Kluver manages to write of regal tasks and political intrigue in a way that grabs your attention and forces you to become addicted. I really, really had to know what was going to happen next. Watching Alera mature into her role was extremely satisfying. Despite her fears of being queen sh...more

The cover and book description pulled me in! Fans of the Girl of Fire and Thorns, Shannon Hale's Books of Bayern or Maria V Snyder's Study Series will enjoy this one. It's a mix of historical YA fiction and fantasy. The author published the first at age 17- holy moly folks! I was impressed after reading her interview and am sure the writing will continue to get even better as she matures.

Allegiance starts out with Alera and Steldor being newly married an crowned King/ Queen of Hytanica. It is painfully obvious that Alera is still in love with someone else and does not welcome the marriage in any way. To be honest since Narian, her true love barely shows up in this installment and I didn't know the back story I had a hard time empathizing. I was disappointed in Alera's hardness toward Stledor, even when human empathy would dictate something else. What little interactions they did have I found to be the most fascinating parts of the book. There is lively batner and tension which added to the personality of the plot. I sympathized with Steldor and think he was acting as any other 22 year old man placed in charge of a kingdom would act. He is passionate and though has temper, I could see he was truly trying his best to be patient with Alera's complete shunning. When he becomes badly injured Alera just stands by...WHA!?

There is very strong character development in Allegiance. I particularly liked Canaan and London. The women seemed to be purely victims which did not bode well with me. The only exception being Alera and the High Priestess, neither of which I connected with. There is an undertone of feminism, and I couldn't sympathize or agree with the way things turned out.

But bottom line....Did I enjoy the book? You bet! I can't wait to read book three, Sacrifice. I'm hoping Steldor gets some reward and that I see some of why Alera is so head over heels with Narian. There is some heavy war related violence and talk of sex between husband and wife, though not explicit. Overall the tone becomes a little dark and heavy in places so may be best for 14 and older. Thanks so much to Harlequin Teen for the sneak peek!

Während ich Alera zutiefst nervig fand, ist mir Steldor ziemlich ans Herz gewachsen und in meiner Achtung gestiegen. Er hat sich wirklich zu einem vermosen König gesteigert und er steckt es ziemlich gut weg, dass seine Ehefrau ihn im Bezug auf den Vollzug der Ehe wie einen ansteckenden Bazillus behandelt. Alera hängt natürlich nach wie vor an Narian, wie eine Prinzessin das im Märchen auch zu tun hat – sie gibt Steldor nicht einmal eine Chance, einen Flecken in ihrem Herzen zu erobern, weil da wegen Narian kein Platz mehr ist. Und das obwohl man als Leser (und genau genommen Alera auch) keinen blassen Schimmer hat, ob dieser es ernst mit ihr meint.

Ich bin ja der Meinung, dass eine so alles umfassende Liebe eher entsteht, wenn beiden Menschen durch ständiges Zusammensein die Möglichkeit gegeben wird, sich besser kennenzulernen – und nicht, in dem sie sich nie sehen, weil sie auf unterschiedlichen Seiten kämpfen.
Man merkt deutlich, dass die Autorin von vornherein Narian als Aleras Gegenstück favorisiert hat – die Fronten wurden im ersten Teil so festgelegt und sind offensichtlich damit als unerschütterlich erklärt.
Na gut, ich hab es ja verstanden. Bleiben wir bei der Märchenstunde.

Ich fand Alera zwar die meiste Zeit nervig, weil sie nie selbst die Initiative ergreift – wie gesagt, die meiste Zeit, denn gegen Ende hin entdeckt sie zum Glück doch, dass auch sie Hand anlegen und etwas tun kann. Wird ja auch mal Zeit aus den Kinderschuhen zu schlüpfen und der Naivität ein bisschen Raum zu nehmen, um der Vernunft Platz zu machen.

Eines muss ich diesem Band jedoch zusprechen – ich fand ihn viel spannender als Teil 1, vor allem, weil das Hauptaugenmerkt auf dem Krieg und nicht auf der Liebesgeschichte lag.
Hinzu mag es daran liegen, dass der Leser öfter von Aleras eher langweiligen Königinnenalltag weggeführt wird und mit London und Narian in die Schlacht ziehen darf. Natürlich auch mal in Steldors Kopf gucken darf, dessen Inhalt mit eindeutig besser gefällt, als der seines Anhängsels.
Ich merke gerade selbst, dass ich Alera in meinen Worten fast schon feindselig gegenüberstehe, aber so schlimm war es nun auch nicht. Ihr Verhalten am Ende hat ziemlich vieles wett machen können, was auch der Grund ist, warum ich den dritten Band lesen möchte – aus Hoffnung, dass sie endlich die Kurve gekriegt hat. Und wegen den anderen Hauptfiguren. Ich will wissen, wie deren weiterer Weg verläuft.
Dennoch sollte Kluver ihrer Heldin ein bisschen Feuer unter dem Hintern machen. Und sie sollte damit aufhören, sich auf irgendwelche Nichtigkeiten zu fixieren, die sie bis in die Unendlichkeit breitredet. Was in „Geliebter Feind“ die Kleidung war, ist hier die Platzierung auf Festen.
Wirklich, mich interessiert es rein gar nicht, wo XY an unterschiedlichen Anlässen diniert. Grob erwähnt wäre es annehmbar, aber mehr will ich nicht wissen.

Viel besser als der ersten Teil, aber immer noch steigerungsfähig. Dennoch muss ich diesen Sprung mit einem Stern mehr "belohnen".(less)

I rarely like the second book in trilogies. They generally feel like a bridge to get from the end of book one to the beginning of book three without anything happening. It usually feels like a waste of a full book when simply making books one and three just a little longer would have worked just fine.

Allegiance is nothing like that.

There is not one part of this book that felt like that. I could not stop reading. The only times I was forced to put the book down were driving home from the coffee s...more

As I read this book, it became painfully obvious that I was missing a lot of emotions because I didn’t read Legacy. I had no idea about the passion and depth behind Alera and Narian’s relationship. So of course, I instantly started liking Steldor. (Gasp.) I couldn’t help it. Even with his chauvinistic views and mannerisms, I still liked him. Actually, I felt sorry for the way Alera always treated him. As the book went on, I figured out how deeply Alera cared for Narian, so that part of the plot made sense by the end. (Even if I did find it disappointing.)
The plot was intricate. The author does an amazing job with building the world that her characters live in. The descriptive details used painted vivid images within my mind on every page. I felt like I was living in this magical land along with the characters. Absolutely stunning. The purposeful skill that the author has was evident on every single page.
The plot seemed slow at times. I’m not sure if “slow” is the proper term to describe it either. Every event seemed to steadily add to the plot until the climatic turning point. With a 490 page book, that climax didn’t arise until near page 400. That’s a long time to wait! Was it worth the long wait? Pretty much. It helped me understand the events more and feel like I was part of the characters. Did I like the characters more because of the wait? Eh. I still stand by Steldor, sorry. Caanan, London, Haitus, and many of the other male characters in the book also tugged at my heart. They were stoic and brave. I loved them. But, for a book that juxtaposes the strength of male versus female rulers, the women in this book fell a little flat. Alera was border line irritating at times. She had these moments that were brilliant, and you could sense her inner strength. But then she would turn around and do something to unbelievable immature that I had a hard time believing she was eighteen. Storming off in the woods after your horse was taken, just to prove a point? Pretty stupid. Of course, Steldor acted pretty immature at times too with his handling of Alera’s defiant behavior.
I would have enjoyed this book so much more if I had the backstory from Legacy. I appreciate that the author didn’t employ the “info dump” to fill in those gaps for people like me. That would have ruined this book. If you haven’t read Legacy, you need to do your homework before starting this one. Read the book. Read reviews. Whatever. Do something to understand the relationship between Alera, Narian, and Steldor before reading Allegiance.

Quotes from Allegiance

“What do you need?" I asked, sitting beside him and fumbling through the mishmash in my lap. "How about this?"
I examined a container and read the label.
"Will belladonna do?"
"That's a poison, dear.I'd prefer if you didn't give me that." Even with his ghastly injury,his dry humor survived.” — 13 people liked it

“I continued down the hallway, past the library, with my eyes downcast, not wanting to talk to anyone. So immersed was I in my misery that I recoiled at the sound of a male voice emanating from just a few paces in front of me.
"I know feet are fascinating, Alera, but it's much more sensible to pay attention to where you're going."
Steldor stood outside the door to our quarters wearing a cocky and irritating grin, and for the thousandth time that day, I felt myself turning crimson. I stared at him, struggling for a witty rejoinder but unable to produce one.
"Did you want something, my lord?" I finally asked, forcing a smile that felt like a grimace.
"I simply wanted to see my beautiful wife," he said, countenance still smug, although his eyes had softened and I suspected the compliment was sincere.” — 9 people liked it
