Heart of Bastion by Susan Faw is book four in The Heart of the Citadel series, and for me, the most engaging and intense story in the series yet! The Heart of Bastion is an intermingled story that follows Kara, Jasper, Marion, and Emily. This story focuses mostly on Kara as she strives to gain access into the Citadel and fulfill her mission. It won’t be easy. Her brother is the key, and while she has only aged so much due to the magic of Jintessa, her brother has aged significantly. But nothing is what it seems.
This story is so intense and engaging it was hard for me to put down. I kept turning the pages eager to learn what happens next with the characters. The author packs this story with twists, turns, suspense, drama, and…heartbreak. Piece by piece the author lays out the truth about the Emperor and shows the reader that certain characters are beginning to see the truth of the situation that they find themselves in. There are shocking situations and moments.
There isn’t anything that I don’t like about this book. I will admit that there are moments of where I get annoyed with a couple of the characters, but I don’t mind. I will say this…prepare to CRY! The author really hits you with a heartbreaking moment in this story and I literally burst into tears.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. I am beyond eager for the next book in this series. Out of all the books so far, this one is the most intense and the one that will leave you begging for the next, and as well as in mourning. If you have read the previous books in this series and enjoyed them then I HIGHLY recommend that you grab this book, settle in and read it! But make sure you grab some tissues.
