Praise for the Kailmeyra Chronicles

Honorable Mention - New York Book Festival - The Light of Asteria

Tracy Riva of Midwest Book Review said of the Kailmeyra series: LIGHT OF ASTERIA is a refreshing and enchanting expedition into a fascinating and well-developed land of fantasy. Isaacs has developed interesting characters that come vividly to life on the page.

THE SECRET OF THE KEEPERS is everything high fantasy should be. It is rich, diverse, textured. Isaacs is a master of tension. I ran the gamut of emotions from joy and love to overpowering grief. On page after page Isaacs solidly delivers a story that will keep you reading until long past your bedtime. Isaacs' storytelling skills are superb as her style effortlessly pulls you in. I was on the edge of my seat in several places, waiting to see what would come next, at points more than half-afraid to keep reading, but unable to put the book down.
