The queen is still missing and Halia is trying to do everything she can to find her. She is trying her best to get an audience with the king but this is proving to be harder than she thought. She enters a singing competition where the if she wins she can sing in front of the king.
Halia is a very good person with a great big heart who cares for everyone. I loved Halia’s reaction to this one person who questioned her about looking for the queen. This person mentioned she thought it was the king’s place to look for the queen and not Halia's but Halia informed her that she believed that it was everybody’s place that everyone should work together as it was everyone’s kingdom and home.
Halia learns that the fae is up to something awful and must find out what it is so she can put a stop to them before it is too late. People are still missing. Halia is still trying to find out what is going on and happening to her people. What are the fae up to? Can Halia stop them before time runs out? Where are all the people? Why are they being taken?
Throne of Symphony is filled with so many twists and turns and secrets revealing just enough at once to keep the pages turning hoping, wondering what is happening next. It is enough to keep the pages turning and on the edge of my seat racing to the end to see how it all turns out. I can’t wait to dive into the next book Goddess of Harmony in this Cinderella re-telling.
I highly recommend Throne of Symphony to all fans of fantasy and the fae. One click your copy today to begin this enchanting adventure. But I would like to suggest that you begin with book one Queen of Song and then on to the second book Heiress of Melody before beginning Throne of Symphony.

Halia's quest is not at the end, many questions remain unanswered, many secrets unraveled. But not one to give up, she together with Lorenzo, Tia, and Mikka are doing their best to find out the malevolent happenings in Arcadia. The more they dig, the more they find out about the fae involvement, the mysterious brain behind the power quest called the Leader, the depth of the Fontaines' deception, and even about the queen's past. Yet queen Ella is still nowhere to be seen, and Halia's ex Victor plays a completely different game now..
Having the gift of a beautiful voice and natural affinity to singing is a blessing even for humans; the magic only enhances the beauty hidden in it. The purity of Halia's voice reflects in her personality, the pure heart and bright mind. Her love and devotion for her country are admirable, and so are the lengths she is willing to go to protect the country. And the ones she loves. Including Lorenzo, despite being a demon, which is still a treat frowned upon in the magical kingdom.. I love the story, I love the characters, and I truly enjoy the unexpected twists here and there in the story. The whole miniseries is a great retelling of Cinderella, and I am happily looking at the fourth book on my device, itching to start reading asap.

Complications, complications everywhere! Changes to the singing competition don't favor Halia and she might lose her chance to talk to the king. More missing people - including the Queen. The enemy is starting to show their hand, pushing Halia and Lorenzo to put themselves in perilous situations to get more information. The almost-a-romance moved in a definite direction, and the stakes just got way higher. There is a lot of excitement packed into this short book.
Unfortunately, I think it suffers a little from middle book syndrome. So many plate spinning up in the air and very little feels like it is moving towards a resolution. There were a few parts that dragged and felt repetitious. That said - with so much hanging in the balance, I am anticipating book 4 being a serious knock-out!

I was gifted this box set by the author as an ARC. This is a great story of family, friendship, love, mystery and suspense all wrapped in one! Two orphans are on their own once they reach the age of 18, and have to figure out how to make it on their own. While learning what being an adult is all about, they find their world is rapidly changing and not for the better! They must find a way to fix this, and along the way they find love, deceit, and MAGIC!
I loved this box set! The first book I literally could not put down! It was pretty much the same with the next three books, because I was in suspense. I had to know what happened next!
If you want to find out what happens AFTER Happily Ever After, I would definitely recommend giving this box set a try!

Halia and Lorenzo continue to try to unravel the events taking place in Arcadia. Halia still hopes to win the singing competition and get a chance to speak to the king, but the contest is almost cancelled before being greatly trimmed down. Her chances are dwindling and she keeps getting sidetracked by other things. Like the two sisters who are cheating, the fae who is helping them, and someone called "the leader" who is orchestrating the disappearance of vulnerable citizens. On top of that, she is ever more drawn to the demon, Lorenzo, and he to her. Then a fairy godmother tells them an astonishing tale...

In this 3rd installment, Cinder, Queen Ella, has taken off again, while more and more people continue to disappear. Halia will do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of this great mystery and save Arcadia even if it requires her to misuse her voice. Just when she thought Madame Fontaine and her daughters were the main threat a new player comes to light, known as the Leader and with the help of some fae he very well may succeed. Halia is running out of time and unfortunately another disaster has just occurred, one that really hits home. I cannot wait to see what happens next.

In the third book of the Cinderella arc, more people are missing and the Queen still can't be found. Halia is trying her best to find her and hope to speak to the King if she can win the singning competition.
There's a new threat called the Leader and some fae are helping him. And Halia learn that the Queen gave her daugther in adoption 18 years ago. So the princess could either be her friend Tia or it might also be herself since they're both orphan and have the same age.
Really like it and can't wait to read the next one. I have received an arc of this book from the author.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
It’s all heating up in Arcadia. Halia and her friends are still searching for Queen Ella, making deals with fae and getting arrested.
Thankfully the fae ally comes through with a new deal which releases Halia from prison and get them an audience with the Fairy Godmother who reveals even more juicy secrets.
With questions answered and more questions raised, we are left hanging with the kidnapping of Halias best friend...

I really enjoyed this book! I love all the characters but my favorites are Halia and Lorenzo. They work well together; each is looking out for the other and are willing to put themselves in danger to discover who is responsible for the chaos. Will they be able to find the queen and bring back safety to Arcadia? This short book has action, danger, magic, fae, mystery, suspense, demons, a contest to take part in, a missing queen, soldiers and more!

Halia is back and trying to help solve what is wrong in her town and win a song competition fairly. Danger is ramping up and the enemies getting bolder. It was a fun and interesting read as Halia never seems to get a break with all the chaos going around. I just had to read to the end to see what she would have to beat this time and what problems would show up too. Just a fun and entertaining read and good addition to the series as Halia tale continues.

4.5/5 Stars
Another great entry to this series! I did have to knock off half a star since near the end I felt like the plot started getting a little cliche. Hopefully in the next one it doesn't go completely cliche!

More people are disappearing, among them, Tia and the contestants who were cut from the competition. Halia is desperate to progress in the competition so she can speak to the King.
But first, she must find Tia. After all if she cant save her best friend how can she possibly hope to save the entire city?

Setting the Stage
We now know a lot more about Halia, which now puts this story arc in line with the others. Looking forward to book four and what roles Lorenzo and Abigail will play in this sure attempt at thwarting more evil.

The queen is still missing. Halia is still searching. She enters a singing competition to be able to see the king to try and get more answers. Her magical voice plays an important role in this. Such a fun retelling of Cinderella with a new twist.
August 19, 2020
The story has gotten more interesting and intriguing as it plays out. The actions of the characters have created more mystery and suspense. She is doing whatever she can to make her world better. I liked this book and look forward to reading more.

I really enjoyed the first two books in the series of Cinderella and the rest of the kingdom of fairytales series. This book was still very good and I really liked Halia as a character.
