Many thanks to the author for sending me a free digital copy in exchange for an honest review.
When I found out that this series will consist of 12 books, I was like, "Why make a three-book set, then? What about the other nine?" It does seem like a little excessive, but if they make boxed sets of the next three and so on, there will be 4 boxed sets and maybe also a complete boxed set... who knows? They do make great gifts, though.

What a marvelous story this was. Much magic with such passion and emotion throughout guaranteed to keep your attention without fail. Full of witches, wizards and dragons . It was easy to bond with the characters although , personally, when the story kept switching to each characters perspective, was a little disconcerting. However, I appreciate that this needs to be done so that you have a more complete picture in your head as to where the story is leading.

I have reviewed each book in this set individually but would like to post the review for the first book just to whet your appetite for this awesome epic series. A great and thrilling read about magic and its suppression by a tyrannical emperor who wants to own and control all magical power himself! The witches/healers and wise women have been burnt and their dragons killed, however children infused with magical powers are still being born, they are the owners of the crystal hearts and the empero

Well
I didn't finish the preview. Because the foundation story, world build, didn't make sense. You would say the magic women were reclusive rarely seen. Then the next page you talk of these women as the mayor's wise persons of their communities. Opposite of what you just said. The magic children honored, and tested for magic but then say that magic is not allowed. You can't have a world where the culture honors magic and prohibits it at the same time. If it's prohibited then the culture would hi ...more

I was really taken up with the Heart of the Citadel series. It was light and refreshing and easy to read. I often found myself sitting up later than I expected as I just couldn't put it down. Kudos to Susan Faw as she did an excellent job of stringing me along. So I ask myself - is there more. I know there is.
