SACRIFICE: A REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY

 
GIVEAWAY ENDED 
SACRIFICE
The Legacy Trilogy
BY CAYLA KLUVER

ABOUT THE BOOK:
This is not the time for the fight to end. Now is when the fight will begin. This is the time to regain what has been lost.

Alera
Queen of a fallen kingdom, secretly in love with the enemy.

Shaselle
Daughter of a murdered father, rebel with a cause.

One lives behind the former Hytanican palace walls and walks the razor's edge to keep the fragile peace in her beloved homeland. The other slips through the war-torn streets, seeking retribution for her family's tragedy, following whispers of insurgency.

Both face choices that will separate them from those they cannot help but love. As their stories intertwine, a conspiracy ignites that may end in slavery or death—or lead to freedom anew, if only each can face what must be sacrificed.
 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Cayla Kluver was born in Wisconsin on October 2, 1992. She has cats, dogs and horses, and watches more crime shows than is probably healthy. She also loves Robert Louis Stevenson and The Beatles. Her office is filled with twinkly lights, candles and fun colors. Legacy is her first novel, soon to be followed by Allegiance and Sacrifice, the remaining books in the Legacy Trilogy. She lives with her family and her muse (Nina, her cat) in Wisconsin, where only the hardy survive.

AN EXCERPT FROM SACRIFICE:
I inhaled deeply, held my breath, then released it in a whoosh, repeating the process thrice over to quell my anxiety, with a predictable lack of success. Looking to the door at my left, which led into the corridor, I imagined my guests entering and realized for the thousandth time the danger, stupidity and yet necessity of what I was doing. I was creating an explosive situation and, like lightning striking dry grass, I didn't know if I would get sparks or a wildfire.

"The time?" I asked, throat dry.

"They aren't late, if that's what you mean."

London was leaning against the wall behind me, having been reassigned as my personal bodyguard, a duty he took most seriously. Although I had been named Grand Provost of the Hytanican Province by the High Priestess, London did not trust that the Cokyrians would respect that decision, and felt I was in greater need of protection than ever before.

THE OTHER BOOKS IN THE LEGACY TRILOGY BY CAYLA KLUVER:
                       
MY THOUGHTS/REVIEW:
SACRIFICE by Cayla Kluver happens to be the last book in a series, "The Legacy Trilogy". It was an easy enough read however, it is definitely one that I would recommend that you read the first two books before this one. The characters are nicely described so I did at least get a good feel for them. They were exciting and I found the comparison between Alera and Shaselle to be intriguing. Still, SACRIFICE just did not stand well enough on its own for me. I was confused much of the time and just had to go with the flow. I had not read the other books and so was at a disadvantage and also don't feel fair in judging the book because of it. Sorry! Next time, I will read all of a series before judging so hope you do the same!

Some books in a series are easy to read if you haven't read them all and others aren't. I haven't read this series, so I would probably agree with your review. It does sound like an interesting series, though, so I would like to give it a read.
