* 2018 OZMA First In Category winner, Chanticleer Book Reviews & Media, for outstanding fantasy! * A gritty rebel with dangerous ties. A secretive mine that buries the truth. A handful of ancient bones with dark origins.
Shikoba, feisty daughter of the tribal queen Aisha, has been trained since birth to defend her people. On the cusp of her final trials, she is swept away by a dragon and a Djinn shapeshifter. Bearer of a crystal heart, Shikoba has been marked to free her people from the tyranny of Emperor Madrid. Shikoba is tasked with the destruction of the barrier that isolates her people from the other provinces, but an ancient evil stands between her and their freedom. Existing only in legend, the Naga is a fierce creature of magic and myth with a secret of its own to protect. Can one young woman gather the courage to protect all that she loves? The cost will be bitter – her death in the sacred salt mines of Shadra. Only the spirits of the ancestors can say for sure, who will prevail. Other books in The Heart Of The Citadel Series: *Heart Of Destiny* *Heart of Tyr*

Another great read from a master storyteller. This is the third story in the series. It provides action and thrills throughout the story. The characters are further developed and secrets untold come to light. A must read for fantasy lovers everywhere. I really liked the information given in this book as it ties up a lot of questions I had before this book. Not all were answered which leads to the rest of the series. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

Heart of Shadra (Heart of the Citadel, #3), my third read from author Susan Faw. I got the first book Heart Of Destiny (Heart of the Citadel #1) back in April 2018 & read it & Heart of Tyr (Heart of the Citadel #2) in October of 2018 and then I just lost track of the series. Another thoroughly entertaining well-written read that has all the makings of an epic with likable, well-developed characters that make you want to read more by this author! Next up is Heart Of Bastion (Heart of the Citadel #4). (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Heart of Shadra is the continuing story of The Heart of the Citadel series by Susan Faw. Heart of Shadra tells the story of Shadra - a young woman who is a crystal heart bearer. After a hunt with her friend Casper, she is heading back to her village, but along the way, she crosses paths with the Djinn and dragon that are meant to be the members of her Triad. She leaves with them, is trained and returns years later. Tragically she and Casper have taken different paths in life, and now he has been brainwashed by the Emperor and serves him. Shadra has returned on the mission to bring down the barrier that surrounds her people, but what she finds is more than she could have expected. Her people are being abducted and enslaved, danger is at every turn and unknown to she and her fellow triad…they are being hunted.
Heart of Shadra is an engaging addition to the series and gives the reader both new and familiar characters. The author brings the reader back to this fantasy world and shows the reader that there is danger at every turn. Nothing is what it seems. Shadra is an engaging and determined character. She has been trained by the witches in the importance of her triad. She has the ability of fire, but other than that she seems untrained. She’s hot-headed, but she means well overall. The author shows that there are some chinks in the armor with certain characters, but she also shows us that not everything is what it seems.
There honestly isn’t much that I don’t like about this book. I do get annoyed with Shadra when she allows her temperament to get the best of her. I feel that she is blinded by her quest for revenge and quest for answers and the truth. I will warn of this…the author leaves the reader with LOTS of questions. So be prepared to be wondering what happened to many.

I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. This book does NOT have a happy “ending.” I both like it and hate it because I wanted last minute good news, last minute/in the nick of time rescues, but they don’t come. The story ends on a cliffhanger, but it makes me eager for the next book and to know what happens next. If you have read the first books in this series then I encourage you to pick this book up and learn about these characters and what happens next.

The story continues and expands

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2018

New twists and some new explanations of what has happened and what is happening in the overall story line occur within this book. It sets up the need to read the next volume to see what happens. If you have enjoyed the first two parts you will certainly enjoy this one.

Another great addition

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2018

Susan Faw’s Heart of Shadra, the third of her The Heart Of The Citadel series once again brings forth a great cast of characters, beautifully crafted, into a perfectly built world, with a perilous mission ahead of them. It’s an mission that will be completed but with a cost still to be told (yes, that’s an illusion to a doozy of a cliffhanger here, so you’ve now been warned). This is a talented writer displaying those talents in full and (as long as you can deal with cliffies), it’s well worth the ride. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises - the book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series (and somewhat desperately looking forward to resolving that cliffhanger).
