The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price by C. L. Schneider – Review by Jennifer Crain
Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The first of a trilogy, I was hooked from about 10 pages in. I normally don’t read fantasy, but quickly got drawn into Ian Troy and the pain, suffering, and perseverance he endures. The writing is stellar at feeling his intense emotions as he battles others as well as himself.
I appreciated the book had an ending, because so many trilogies I have read previously do not have each book have a proper ending (just setting up the next book), but this is not the case here.
One thing I didn’t like (again, I don’t read a lot of fantasy) was the amount of dead bodies/gore involved in the book. I did like the plot, and how the author clearly thought out how the characters interact with each other, and no obvious plot flaws or goofs. The crown of stones plot line is also intriguing- can’t wait to find out what happens to it in book #2.
