To celebrate the release of the final book in the Legacy trilogy by Cayla Kluver, Sacrifice (following Legacy and Allegiance), we’ve asked bloggers to share five reasons why they love this series. So for our post today, we’re going to share our five favorite reviews that this series has received:
“Teenage author Kluver makes her debut with this series first set in the fictional kingdom of Hytanica. Readers will empathize with Princess Alera who is struggling beneath the weight of her parents’ royal expectations and her own desire to explore a world much broader than the one she has been offered. Kluver has brought to life a wide cast of characters each rich with detail. Fans of young adult, historical fiction and fantasy will all be anxious for the next novel in this brilliant world. (This book was previously released by an independent press.)” – RT Book Reviews on Legacy- “This book made me feel like I was living in the Castle sneaking amongst the guards to watch the fabulous parties the Queen hosted. I definitely recommend this book. I can’t wait for book two!” – Flamingnet Young Adult Book Reviews Top Choice Award on Legacy
- “I am quite simply in love with Hytanica and cannot wait to see where Kluver takes the story next.” – San Francisco Book Review on Allegiance
- “With fast-paced action and family drama, Kluver’s series second triumphs! Fans will feel like they can step into the fantasy world and will pine for hero Narian along with heroine Alera.” – RT Book Reviews on Allegiance
- “…this tale rises above genre by including thought-provoking elements that examine the role of women, family allegiances and the damaging nature of prejudice.” – Kirkus Book Reviews on Sacrifice

About Sacrifice:
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.
This is a story told by two:
ALERA – Queen of a fallen kingdom, secretly in love with the enemy.
SHASELLE – Daughter of a murdered father, rebel with a cause.
One was ruler Hytanica, but now 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. Told in part from within the castle by Alera and in part outside the walls by a new character, Shaselle, Sacrifice showcases the final epic battle for love and freedom.

My favorite fantasy series would have to be The Mortal Instruments because of a) the brilliant sarcasm b) the phenomenal characters and c) the way that Cassandra Clare continues to add layer upon layer to the plot, keeping her readers hooked from beginning to end.
My favorite series would have to be the Crossroads by Mary Ting. Being an only child and trying to find out where I belonged in my life. I knew for a fact I wasn’t perfect- but that’s why I loved Crossroads so much, it taught us that no matter what the situation was, we all had something in us that was waiting to shine, whether it’s the end or it’s only the beginning. Crossroad helped me pull through because they are just like us.
I have quite a few fantasy series’. Some of them include: The Grisha Trilogy (Shadow and Bone), The Lunar Chronicles (Cinder, Scarlet), and Starcrossed.
Each one offers something amazing to pull readers in!
Oh gosh! My favorite fantasy has to be Seraphina by Rachel Hartman. I can’t wait for the next book!
My current favorite fantasy series is the Seven Realms by Cinda Williams Chima.
I have a few as well. I love the seven kingdoms books by Kristen Cashore. and the Witch series by James Clemens. I love the Lunar chronicles as well. I love the seven kingdoms books becasue each one is kind of set in a different world and all of the worlds are so exciting and lovely. i love how all three of the books are tied together in a way. and the witch series is just awesome. lol. haven’t read it in a few years but it had so many different characters all united for a common goal. and magic.
My favorite fantasy series is The Seven Kingdoms by Kristin Cashore.
It’s hard to pick one but some of my favourites are the Study series, the Widdershins Adventures, the Sevens Realms series, and the Redwall series.
A favorite fantasy author of mine is Juliet Marillier. She has written many novels, but my favorite series from her is the Sevenwaters series.
Thanks for the great giveaway! My favorite fantasy series is the Chronicles of Elantra series by Michelle Sagara
The Harry Potter books
I love the Hunger Games trilogy; I also love The Song of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce, these books were brilliantly written the characters all have depth and best of all the main character is a girl who is proving herself in a man’s world and in what is considered to be a man’s profession, secretly of course, through a tricky deception.
My favorite fantasy series ever are Harry Potter and The Iron Fey. I really love those series, and always rereading every time i have time to do it ^^
My favorites are The Hunger Games and The Mortal Instruments series. Thanks for the chance to win!
I haven’t read much fantasy but I really enjoyed The Hunger Games trilogy and the Divergent series.
One of my recent favorite is Seraphina.
I really liked the Iron Fey Series, and I’m so hyped that Ethan Chase is now given another role, to be the next one to continue the series.
Iron Fey Series made me like the Summer, Winter and Iron Courts. It’s very realistic, the element of dystopian is really there.
And I really liked the part wherein Iron is hard to fight. But everything or everyone has their own weakness.
I really enjoyed this series
My favorite fantasy books right now is the Tiger’s Curse Series. I absolutely love them! love triangle, adventure, mythology! great combination.
I love the Iron Fey Series. I just read Alice in Zombieland and The Poison Princess, both were great reads. Thanks for the giveaway!
Mine would probably have to be Kristin Cashore’s Graceling series! I *love* those books
My favorite fantasy series is a tie between Harry Potter and The Infernal Devices. I’ve loved HP for a long time, but I have fallen in love with TID. Just can’t decide!
Does the Hous of Night Series count? If it does, then definitely that one, but I don’t really like this last book that’s come out, even though I’ve been anticipating it since what feels like forever. -_-
My favorite fantasy series would have to be Harry Potter!
My favorite fantasy series is the Croak series by Gina Damico.
I LOVED the Iron Fey series by Julie Kawaga!!!! They were amazing!!! And now I cant wait to read The Lost Prince!! Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite fantasy series is tied. I love the Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare, but…Kelly Armstrong’s Darkest Powers Trilogy probably wins out. I have read The Awakening, The Summoning,and The Reckoning at least five times! I love these books!
