The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella (Soulbound Journeys Book 1) by C. L. Schneider – Review by Donya Pedigo

The Wandering Isles (The Crown of Stones)The Wandering Isles by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones (Soulbound Journeys Book 1) is a novella that takes place after The Crown of Stones series. Though this can easily be read as a standalone book, I’d highly recommend reading the previous series to get to know the characters’ history more in depth and just because it’s an interesting dark fantasy read. Both that series and this book are full of action-packed adventure, magical aspects, intrigue, splendid characters, and descriptive writing that will have you envisioning everything the characters face. The first person point of view lets us also see what both Ian and Troy think of everything they are enduring.

This novella takes us on another adventure with Ian Troy and his friend, Jarryd Kane, whom we met in The Crown of Stones series. Ian, a born soldier, has never known himself as anything else, but now that Mirra’Kelen has found peace, he has set out to explore his freedom and to see who he might actually be at his core. It’s on this voyage that he and Jarryd find themselves embroiled in new situations they never saw coming. Can a man that has experienced so much war ever find peace? Will he ever truly be able to let go of being a soldier and all the things he has seen and done? C.L. Schneider has written yet another interesting fantasy that will leave you wanting more.

I was so excited to read this one. I loved the “A Crown of Stones” series. I hated when it ended. Felt like I was apart of Ian’s world. So happy I still get to indulge in it. This one was definitely interesting. As Ian and Jarryd faced the newest “evil” I also faced a fear. Was this novella going to end with us thinking that everything that had happened was merely their brains trying to cope with being captured? I finished this book in a few hours because I simply needed answers lol. The way the characters and I questioned reality was parallel. Every moment was a wait no this can’t be. There’s no way this is what’s happening. Needless to say I was not disappointed. I could feel all of the characters emotions. I cried when they cried. I was angry when they were angry and I had a sense of understanding by the time the book was over. It was very well written. And although it’s a work of fiction, some life lessons can be learned from it. Thank you for a bother great book. I’ve read every single book you’ve written thus far and I’ve loved every single one of them.

Another great book by this author. Although it can be read before the trilogy, it is much easier to follow and know the characters of read first. With that being said, I love following Ian and Jarryd on more adventures and this book did not disappoint. This was unique in that their stories were connected but not. I liked the back and forth between Ian’s world and Jarryd’s as they came to figure out what was happening. This is another mystery fantasy that will make you not want to put it down.

What a beautifully haunting dark fantasy novella! C.L. Schneider knows exactly how to captivate readers with her intricately woven storytelling and entrancing dialogue. She beyond creates a truly unique world that is so magical and unexpected, but also relatable! I could not put this novella down for one minute. I hope Ian Troy and Jarryd Kane’s story never ends. If you have not already I highly recommend dipping your toe into C.L. Schneider’s wonderful Crown Of Stones series! I promise you will not be disappointed!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the ‘Crown of Stones’ Trilogy so when I found out about this spin-off novella, I was instantly intrigued. This author has a talent for words. Descriptions of both scenery and characters are always very vivid making it very easy to immerse yourself into the world.

After the events of the Crown of Stones books, Ian Troy decides to sail to the Wandering Isles with Jarryd. They are met with voices and fog. The Islanders are attached to the island itself and have magical powers. They put the duo through a series of what if events making the men take a different look at their lives.

Ian went through some scenes of what if his villainous father wasn’t dead, what the future could be, and things in the past that are best forgotten.

Meanwhile Jarryds scenarios seem to be surrounding his time in prison. Mostly being stuck there forever, never getting out with Ian.

Will the men be able to leave the island or are they forever stuck in this fake world made by the Islanders?

Once again the author did an amazing job. I love this world and was happy to find out it wasn’t done after the trilogy ended.

The Wandering Isles by C.L. Schneider was a great addition to the Crown of Stones series. This book was centered around one specific event that involved the main character of the series so it was a shorter dark fantasy story than all the others on the series but it didn’t lack the weight of all the others. I enjoyed it.

It is always hard to say goodbye to your favorite characters, I was excited to find another tale of their adventures awaits. The Wandering Isles is a novella from after the A Crown of Stones trilogy was completed. I highly recommend reading the series before the novella otherwise there are major spoilers ahead for you! Ian Troy has set sail with Jarryd Kane to find adventure on the open seas. Unfortunately for them, their past still comes back to haunt them on the Wandering Isles as they struggle to determine reality. I highly enjoyed this extra tale of Ian Troy’s adventures due to Schneiders’ excellent use of storytelling and details. I look forward to enjoying more tales from Schneider!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Wandering Isles is Book One in the Soulbound Journeys Series. It is an action-packed fantasy novella that continues with the Crown of Stones Series and can be read as a standalone, or as part of the series. The story centers around Ian Troy who we were introduced to in the Crown of Stones series. He has sacrificed everything for peace in his land and they no longer need his magic. Now feeling as though he is free to choose his own path, he leaves his home behind and sets off on an adventure with his friend Jarryd Kane. Tracing the routes of his ancestors he discovers a mysterious place known as The Wandering Isles. The island seems abandoned, but it is hard for them to tell, and this is where things take a turn and become dark and mysterious for Ian and Jarryd. This place may have secrets that would have been better left undiscovered. Ian and Jarryd are put to the test as the bounce between reality and nightmares starts to take its toll on them. This was a captivating psychological fantasy packed full of action, adventure, suspense, danger, intrigue, and magic. The author did a marvelous job of world building with some dark undertones and a hint of danger that keeps you reading until the end.

I wasn’t expecting to find this novella which continues the Crown of Stones series, so it was a nice surprise. Although it can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading the Crown of Stone series first to truly grasp the undertones and background.

Once again, the way the author describes the world creates such a vivid picture you can also step into it yourself.

The characters continue their personal growth and its great to see how the relationship between them develops.

I really enjoyed reading this after recently reading the entire Crown of Stones series, it was great to jump back into the world and I hope for more.

This is the novella to the Crown of Stones Trilogy. It can be read as a stand-alone but is so much more enjoyable when read with the other books. The writing is brilliant, with imagery and strong characters drawing you right into the pages.
Looking forward to more. Recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella (Soulbound Journeys Book 1) by C. L. Schneider a short dark fantasy.

All the pleasant feelings associated with discovering and reading the first book years ago came flooding back to mind as I read about Ian and Jarryd again.

Ian and Jarryd set out towards an unknown island at the start of the novel, where they encountered unusual onlookers and supernatural beings who offered them a “trade”. I was left wondering what their business was, who they were, and captivated by their race because the whole trading thing is a little sketchy and the details are vague. I savored every instant of their interactions with Ian, pausing briefly in wonder.

As a side aside, this could probably be read alone. The author did an excellent job of bringing to mind who these historical figures were and why they were significant. Overall, a really entertaining book.

Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. The story really brings excitement into your life. I couldn’t put the book down

I thoroughly enjoy the world that C.L. Schneider created for The Crown of Stones, and now continued with The Wandering Isles. As others have said, you can absolutely read this as a stand alone, but having read the trilogy prior, I already had the world in my mind and was better able to develop the storyline in my head as I read.

Ian Troy and Jarryd Kane continue together, happening upon a grouping of what they believed to be uninhabited islands, only to find themselves battling those who reside on the island in their minds.

This was a great short read, intense and page turning. Highly recommend!

What happens when Jarryd and Ian find the Wandering Isles? I am so glad the Crown of Stones Series isn’t over and we can read about what comes next. As a trade is coerced there are many fears exposed, they can’t trust what is happening and Ian and his magic complicate things. This story really showed Ian how his ability to recognize his flaws and use that information to make them strengths.

This Novella was a perfect addition to the series… there is enough detail where it could stand alone without the series but I do feel I had a better understanding of the characters having read the other books.
Peace has been achieved. Ian and his magic are no longer needed….or is it?
Ian and Jarryd head to the wandering isles thinking they’d be deserted but come to find that is definitely not the case and what they will have to endure is so much more than they knew.
Another well crafted tale by this author who continues to impress.

The Crown of Stones series in itself was tremendous and I highly advise reading those first before this novella, though it can be a stand-alone if you wish. This novella continues to provide the world building, character loving, fantasy mapping, thrilling adventures that C. L. Schneider keeps you coming back for! Her attention to detail and ability to enthrall the readers is what is making this series and novella such an epic hit.

Another great read from CL Schneider. An encompassing novella that continues from the Crown of Stone Serries, this novella can be read as a standalone; but flows well as a continuation to the series. Reading the series will explain a few of the intricacies, back story and older history of the many tribes and species we meet in this book. <br /><br /> Again, the author continues describing vividly as with their earlier books, and I found this one just as difficult to put down, I needed to know what happened. <br /><br />The continuing character development and world building keeps you hooked as Ian Troy sails for the Wandering Isles, and from there the magic and mystery continue.

I liked this better than the trilogy- thought the plot, writing and sequence of events was more succinct and less wordy and drawn out. I appreciated how the story picks up right after Magic-Borne, and throughout this novella, we learn more about Ian and Jarryd’s previous experiences as well as their down-again and up-again friendship.

My favorite part of the book was how the main character of the book doesn’t even exist, being spirits/faes/undetermined entities that inhabit the islands Jarryd and Ian have sailed to. Haven’t read a book before that a non-entity drives the plot along as well as C.L. Schneider does in this book. Overall, I enjoyed this book and makes you think- would you want all your fears taken away?

The Wandering Isles is a novella that is book 1 of the Soulbound Journey series. It takes place after the Crown of Stones series. We are following Ian Troy as he sets sail for the Wandering Isles with his friend Jarryd Kane, believing them to be abandoned. As they get to the isles, they soon realize that there are other magical beings there and find themselves in a very unwanted position. This novella was a wonderful read. Going on more adventures with Ian Troy post-war was an immersive treat. Wonderful world-building, adventures, and character development are par for the course with this author. You feel like you are on this wondrous adventure with Ian and Jarryd. The writing takes you along with all the emotions that the characters experience. A great addition to the Crown of Stones saga.

Details. While this is not the first book, I have read by the talented C.L. Schneider, it is the first book about Ian Troy, and the world of A Crown of Stones that I have read. As the synopsis states this book can be either a continuation of the original series or an introduction. Being new to the series this book served as an amazing introduction to the characters of Ian Troy and Jarryd Kane.
Ian Troy was once the Fated savior of the Rellan people during the endless wars with the Langorians. Given nearly infinite power fear led him to give it all away and take on the addiction to magic of his entire race, Shinree. Jarryd Kane is the person, friend, crewmate, that Ian takes with him when he leaves his homeland and all that it represents. Leaving Mirra’kelan was one of Ian’s hardest decisions to make, and to ask Jarryd to leave his son and loved ones behind to follow him. Saving the people, he was a reminder of a history everyone wanted to forget and a savior that was no longer needed. Setting out on the fabled journey of his Shinree ancestors, the first stop was The Wandering Isles, thinking they were abandoned. Finding them they find more than they ever anticipated, they are magical beings but not one that Ian can identify or recognize the magic of. Isuara, their leader and her male attendant Taalman tell them the only way they leave is with a trade. With no choice they are taken from their ship, their clothes changed and thrown into their worst fears. Ian quickly becomes aware but when one moment can’t be contradicted with facts, he is left doubting himself. Jarryd is thrown back in prison, told Ian is dead and no help will ever come. He contradicts the words being said to him with his memories of events only for the hope to slip further away, his half soul left helpless and alone in the darkness. The only way to be free is to do it their way: Endure the process. Claim their bottles. Complete the trade.
Will they be able to endure the process, or will their minds be too broken to finish? Can they find their way back to each other and their ship? Did they make a mistake when they left their homeland? The first book I read by this amazing author was Necrosis, and like that book the level of details leave you sometimes squirming as the visual fills your mind. Her ability to give such a detailed, complete image in everything she describes is incredible. I anxiously await the next book in this series and am already planning to go back and read A Crown of Stones. This world is unlike any other I have ever read, and one little taste is not enough, I need more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a novella that comes after The Crown of Stones series and covers more of the story of Ian and Jarryd. This can be read as a standalone but having the background of the series before it will help certain situations make more sense.

Fantasy lovers will love how this story evolves. There is a bit of mystery in this one too! Anytime Ian and Jarryd are together, adventure is sure to abound. When they come across an island full of mysterious beings, reality starts to blur and neither are sure of what’s really going on.

I do get a little confused as this writer tells the story one perspective at a time. I have a hard time keeping up with who’s telling which side of the story and I have never been a fan of skipping back and forth. This was a little more difficult of a read for me for that reason. However, it was still enjoyable overall.

This is one crazy mind bending story! I never knew what was up and what was down. Between the violence and the sacrificing adventures I was freaked out and ended up skipping pages. This is not my kind of read but I gave it a go as I loved her Dahlia Nite series. Since I have not read the Crown of Stones series this one was very all over the place and I am assuming rehashing things that happened in that collection of stories. Confusing to me but I did want to know about his drink so I kept going. I am not likely to read others in the series as I was unable to connect to the characters.i do like the cover though.

Ian and Jarryd return for another adventure after the conclusion of The Crown of Stones trilogy. After the events of the trilogy, we get to see more of them and the world the author has created. Magic, adventure, and incredible trials await them in this standalone novella. Though I’ve read the trilogy, by the way this novella was written, anyone would feel comfortable reading this book before the others if they were so inclined. Though short, the book was well-written and paced, delivering a clear, fantastical insight into the world of the Crown of Stones.

I really liked this book. It’s a novella with the Crown of Stones series. You can read it alone, but much easier to understand a few things if read with the rest of the series. This author really made you feel like you were in the story, like with the other ones as well. I could not put it down. Ian unknowingly sets sail to the Wandering Islands. So much adventure and some old characters pop up.
