Welcome back, dear readers, for another awesome blog tour. Today I am happy to be able to play host to the final stop on the Sacrifice Blog Tour. I first started reading this series shortly after I began this blog, so it has pretty much been with me from the beginning. I have enjoyed reading this series so much, so I'm very glad to get to be part of the tour for the last book. Today, I am going to give you the top 5 things I love most about the Legacy series. Feel free to chime in with all the things you like about it, as well.
Top 5 Things I Love About the Legacy Trilogy
1. The World-Building: I have always liked the ways in which the kingdom of Hytanica are described and brought to life on the page. You can really get a sense of what you would see around you if you were to be transported into the book to see for yourself.
2. The Characters: Watching the various characters develop and change has been a great experience, especially when it comes to Alera. Seeing her morph from a princess whose days are filled with the social engagements expected of her to a strong queen more than willing to lead her people has been simply great.
3. The Intrigue: Just when you think you have things all figured out, something will happen to make you think twice. The nature of the conflict between Hytanica and Cokyri is one of intimidation and mystique. It's hard to know who is on which side, but it sure is a lot of fun trying to figure it out!
4. The Society: When I get down to the sheer base of things I find interesting about this series, underneath it all is an appreciation for the social gatherings Alera gives and frequents. From the fashions to the friendships and acquaintances, there is so much to observe.
5. The Adventure: I couldn't get enough of the sense of adventure that is present in this story. That it builds and builds through each book just makes things even better. C'est magnifique!
About the Author
With the book industry currently in a debate over print vs. digital, Cayla Kluver, born October 2, 1992 in Wisconsin, truly embodies the next generation of author. At just 19 years-old, Cayla has already published her debut novel Legacy in three different formats.
It all began with self-publication and the creation of her own publishing house (with the help of her mom, called: Forsooth Publishing) in 2008. Cayla was then offered a digital debut with Amazon (was the premier title for Amazon’s self-publishing program, Amazon Encore) in 2009. Finally in 2010 Cayla was signed to a three book publishing deal with Harlequin TEEN.
She has cats, dogs and horses, and watches more crime shows than is probably healthy. Her office is filled with twinkly lights, candles and fun colors. She loves Robert Louis Stevenson and the Beatles, and you can follow her on Twitter @CaylaKL, as well as join her fan page on Facebook.

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 of 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.
