Fans found this to be grippingly told and beautifully written.

Finn, gorgeous but reckless, never shied away from danger, and finishing the bond means a lot more to her than anybody else knows. It sounds like quite the thrilling adventure, however Finn has always been willing to risk far too much, and for the first time she has something, or somebody, to lose.

These books sweep the reader right into an unforgettable world. This is a fantastic read, with a high stakes plot line and some enjoyable and relatable characters. Fans loved each of these characters with their quirks and they never got bored with their stories. The world was so detailed and well explained that readers were able to imagine themselves actually living there full time. Charlotte is clearly a talented writer when it comes to story telling and with word choice.

“Isadora” is the third novel in the “Chronicles of Kaya” series and was released in the year 2016. What would you do if your sworn foe was actually your soulmate? The kingdom of Kaya has just been overthrown by a dark power. Trapped inside of the dangerous capital, Isadora, who is the rebel leader, fights the only way that she’s able to, by hunting those that are more monstrous than she is.

Falco is the exiled emperor of a nation in ruins. Fate demands that he abandon the mask that has long disguised his true nature, and rise up to meet his sworn foe. The deadly Sparrow.

Crown Prince Thorne is being plagued by some ghosts, while Lady Roselyn is being haunted by the past. King Ambrose, with his loved ones and land under threat, has to find the strength to show his people a whole new way of life, or allow the nation’s legacy of violence to consume all of them.

While the world’s end draws ever closer the undeniable power of the bond that links Falco and Isadora together. The death of one means the death of the other as well. However Isadora has never surrendered to fate before. She is determined to break free and choose her way, no matter what the cost.

This book is a great finale for this tremendous series. Charlotte’s writing style is entirely thrilling, incredibly detailed, and she proves once more she is a genius with words. Characters from previous books pop back up and you learn more about them and find yourself liking them that much more. The character growth and relationship development in the novel is just as sublime as before, and even though it was brutal to witness, there was some beauty in it because of the depth of the characters and Charlotte’s strong writing.

Readers found the entire series to be both phenomenal, and heart wrenching which left them nothing more than emotional wrecks with broken hearts as a result of reading these novels. There is also moments of characters being badasses during the action scenes.
