The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars by C.L. Schneider – Review by Breanne Christian

Magic-Scars (The Crown of Stones, #2)Magic-Scars by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ian Troy was captured and tortured by his enemies. Drugged to keep his magic suppressed, Ian Troy is broken. Even though the Shinree are no longer slaves, they are living in fear and are nowhere near free. Ian is starting to find that he is not who he used to be and strives to find the truth behind his connection to the Crown of Stones. Can Ian help his people not live in fear? Does he ever find the truth, or does he allow his magic and addiction to be his undoing? Find out in Magic Scars.
The second installment is full of loveable and relatable characters as well. The story unfolds with no confusion and is a stronger piece of writing than the first. Readers will go through Ian’s trials and tribulations with him while feeling the feelings he has.
I highly suggest picking up the Crown of Stones series. The stories are riveting and make you want more. I cannot wait to find what happens in the third installment.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider – Review by Breanne Christian

Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Shinree is a group of people that have an affliction to magic. Their magical spells can be deadly, which is why they are bred as slaves. Drugs are used to suppress their magic. Shinree, Ian Troy, is the descendent of soldiers and fights to end the war against the Langorians. When all else fails, Ian turns to the Crown of Stones against orders. The Crown of Stones is an instrument of power. Unknowing of the true nature of the Crown, Ian uses it to end the war but has a price to pay. A decade later, Ian is a bounty hunter and tries to put it all behind him. Ian is then targeted by an old enemy Shinree and is forced into using his powers once again, being pushed to race to control of the Crown of Stones once again. Is Ian able to regain control? Does he overcome his fear of his own powers to save the land of his people once again? Find out in Magic Price.
Magic Price is full of fun and loveable characters with relatable feelings. It is full of action, adventure, suspense, and fantasy. The story unravels smoothly and leads to the reader wanting more. At times, the story became slightly confusing, but it does all come together at the end.
Overall, I highly suggest giving Magic Price a try. It is a grand fantasy read with twists and turns and a cliff hanger. The confusion will go away as the story unfolds.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price by C. L. Schneider – Review by Audrie Harrington

Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was action packed and felt like so much information, action, and events in one book! Ian troy is the main character and I truly enjoyed getting to know him. He is a Shinree magic user who after finding the crown of stones accidentally killed off two armies. Learning about the use of magic through the stones was very interesting. Ian wakes up to the devastation, hides the crown, and leaves the kingdom. Ian then taught himself how to stop using magic and we find the story comes back 10 years after the battle. There are so many other likable characters like Jarryd and Malaq, his two companions on his way back home to help the Rellan palace and the Queen battle against the Langorians. Sienn and Neela are strong willed women in Ian’s life and keep the story moving. The kingdoms that have been created and described in this book are amazing and sound like ancient times with castles, men on horses, and a lot of sword fighting. Ian finds himself in so many battles and it seems that the fates are against him. I am starting the second book now to see where the story goes next!

Magic-Borne (The Crown of Stones #3)Magic-Borne by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Borne is the third book in The Crown of Stones series. With the resistance shattered, Ian Troy is in hiding and searching for a way to save the realm and free its people. This book is a highly emotional and well-written ending to the series. Once again the characters are amazingly written and Ian has a potent and incredible transformation as a character. All the action and detail from the first two stories are present. This was an incredible way to end the series.

Magic-Scars (The Crown of Stones, #2)Magic-Scars by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars is book 2 of The Crown of Stones series. Ian Troy is back beaten down and held prisoner. It is two years after the end of the first book and Ian has a lot of people looking to him for leadership. The stakes are higher and there is even more action. The same complex well-written characters from the first book are present. I found that this book had an even more emotional impact. There are some events that occur that are unexpected, that will definitely hit you where it hurts. A very enjoyable sequel.

Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price is the first book in The Crown of Stones book series. This is a fantasy about Ian Troy a Shinree, a race of people who are inherently addicted to magic. The Shinree people are fallen and used as slaves. Ian finds himself in a situation where he must use his magic again which causes him to become addicted to magic again. Ian finds he has to accept the darkest parts of himself so that he may fight back. The world-building is complex and intriguing. I enjoyed following the character of Ian and his internal and external struggles. This story was a wonderful beginning to this series. The plot is complex and well-written.

The Crown of Stones: Magic Borne by C. L. Schneider Review by Darla Yocom

Magic-Borne (The Crown of Stones, #3)Magic-Borne by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 3 of this series and the final installment, wrapping up this portion of the incredible dark fantasy fiction story.

I thoroughly enjoyed the fast pace of this book and series. I was hooked from the beginning and blown away by the twisted conclusion of this story. The build up, suspense, good vs evil back and forth, etc. was incredible. What an adventure!

I found the author’s ability to describe the extensive world and developed characters within this story quite illuminating. The vividness expressed quite a scary and dark setting and ambiance, which is perfect for readers who enjoy this type of a read.

Ian Troy’s character appears to be quite strong and resourceful. When he gathered the resistance and attempted to save the Realm, I found myself rooting for him immediately. He has a lot riding on his ability to successfully save as many folks as possible, which would have been a heavy responsibility to have sitting on his shoulders. By the end of the story, you’ll find yourself thinking or rehashing the story in your mind. It sticks with you.

If, like me, you enjoyed this series, you may also enjoy the continued adventures in this author’s additional creation of the series, Soulbound Journeys. This series will pursue the adventures after The Crown of Stones trilogy. I cannot wait to continue my reading adventure with the author’s future dark fantasy fiction creations.

Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)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.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Magic Scars continues where the first book of the trilogy leaves off. The reader discovers more of the history of the crown of stones, and Ian (and his family’s) part in it. Along the way, Ian continues with his struggle of controlling the uncontrollable magic running through is Erudite veins.

Throughout the book, the author continues with the fantastic descriptions of the various settings as the first book, especially of the Langorian prison and refugee camp. The blood, sex and gore, which I didn’t care for in the first book, also continues. However, I am drawn in and interested in what happens to Ian and his colleagues to continue reading the series.

Magic-Borne (The Crown of Stones, #3)Magic-Borne by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The last of a trilogy, I was continually intrigued to find out what happens to Ian- does he save the realm or does the universe have something else in store for him? No spoilers here, I strongly suggest you read this installment (Magic-Borne) to discover the finale for yourself.

Akin to the other two books in the series, I liked how the author used italicized writing to emphasize the connection or time jump- helped myself as a reader clue in something was different. I also appreciated how the loose ends of each sub plot, some resulting from way back in book 1, were tied up succinctly is this las volume. As I stated in my reviews of the other two books, too much gore/blood/bodies for my personal opinion, but being dark fantasy genre, I understand it sometimes comes with the territory. Overall, I would highly recommend reading the entire trilogy, the middle book drags a bit, but the overarching story is first class.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Borne (The Crown of Stones Book 3) by C.L. Schneider – Review by Kirsten Berkebile

This is the third and final tale in the saga of Ian Troy. Ian is burdened with magic and responsibility, both of which are difficult for him to bear. With his loyal band of friends in perpetual danger by association, Ian feels, now more than ever, a drive to distance himself and find a way to rid himself of the dangerous Crown of Stones, no matter the cost. This is a hard book to get into unless you’ve read the first two books, and unfortunately I haven’t read them. So I struggled to stay in a zone of reading with this book. I think I need to read the first two in order to really understand Ian Troy better.

Ian Troy is determined to save not only his own people, but the people of all the realms from the evil that is his own father. Jem Reth is determined to bend all of the people in all of the realms to his will, no matter how much death and destruction it takes to get there. Ian decides that to try and circumvent the future he has already seen, his best choice…and perhaps his only option…is to go into the distant past and try to fix what was broken so long ago. This is the final book of this series and will keep you on the edge of your seat to the very end.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In the final installment of this breathtaking series Ian Troy is all that’s left to save his realm and his people from his sadistic father who’s made himself the self appointed emperor….the resistance is shattered, the crown of stones is lost,the people have no hope and Ian Troy is in hiding marked by the crown for destruction. He’s had a vision of a tragic desolate future but can he bring the change that’s needed to thwart his vision?

This final book unveils all the secrets of the Shinree that have been lost to endless slavery and the secrets of their magic and the start of their Slavery.
Ian Troy still bears the marks of his use of magic, and gathers more marka with every use changing him a little more. What is one man willing to carry, or give up in the name of peace? Can he defeat his father once and for all or is the entire race doomed?

This was a thrilling conclusion with a bittersweet but very circular and appropriate ending that left me sad this series was over as i became attarched to the characters. A fantastic read with Brilliantly done characters, twisting and turning plot with vivid imagination and descriptions. So well done.

*Sigh* This is a bittersweet moment. Sweet because I thoroughly enjoyed this installment. Bitter because it’s the last one. This final installment blew my mind away. Ian Troy and his friends must face fate to save everyone. But in doing so will Ian finally turn into the beast he’s fought so hard against? Will he succumb to magic and turn out just like his father? It was captivating and page turning. At times intense. I haven’t enjoyed such a good book in a very long time. It’s definitely worth a read.

So the first book I read in this series was actually book number 2. I knew I had to go back and read the first one. I’m glad I did. Although I found book to enjoyable the information in book 1 helped me make sense of a few things.

This series is a page turner. The creative world the author has created is by far one of the best I’ve encountered. I enjoy fantasy books (one of my favorite genres to read), this exceeded my expectations. I feel like I’m completely submerged in their world as I’m reading. The magic used in the story is a different flavor than I’m used to but it made it more interesting. There is never a full moment when n this story. Each character is unique and adds to the story. Even the ones you despise. Please give this series a chance. You won’t regret it!

In one fell swoop, the resistance was shattered. Lives were taken. Hope was lost. Peace slipped like grains of sand through his fingers. So did the Crown of Stones. Now, forced into hiding, Ian Troy grapples for a way to save the realm—and free its people—from the sadistic clutches of Mirra’kelan’s new self-appointed emperor. Plagued with the knowledge of a tragic future, he strives to influence events and save those he cares for. But his magic has betrayed him, and Fate has other plans.

Marked by the crown, hindered by the transformation spell contained within, each cast brings Ian one step closer to becoming more beast than man. Each move brings the death and destruction foretold in his vision inexplicably nearer. With Langor on the brink of war, and King Malaq’s plan for peace hanging in the balance, Ian returns to the ancient past; seeking an end to the eldring spell and a means to thwart Jem’s growing domination. What he finds there sets off a chain of revelations that leads Ian places he never thought to go.

Entrusted with the future of his race, Ian becomes the linchpin for lasting change. But how much weight can one man carry? And how much is he willing to sacrifice in the name of peace?

Magic-Borne is the exciting final installment in The Crown of Stones Trilogy.

Nite Fire: Exit Strategy Audiobook by C.L. Schneider – Review by Ashley Hasting

Dahlia will forever be one of my favorite characters from a series as amazing as this! 🙂 We are at the final book and man, what an amazing ending! So much has happened with the other 4 books, and so much was added to this one book alone. Half of her team went to another world to retrieve Creed’s brother, as well as tackle what they can. While they are there, the apocalypse happens on Earth. Dahlia struggles with the dragon in her heart, I will always remember this series, and might even binge listen again! 🙂

~ A Must Read in a Shapeshifter Fantasy ~

This is the final book in the series, and I have eaten up every single one. Having the audio version available is such a treat! Cassandra King is a phenomenal narrator who does justice to the series. She really plays Dahlia well, making the character come alive in a new way. 

 

As far as the story goes, Dahlia has remained true to her core self. Without giving in spoilers away, she has also evolved into something quite new. Her supporting roles and friends along the way have developed, as well as the world(s) around her. This is such a unique story line, and is such an easy decision to pick up and read. You definitely won’t regret it.

 

I do have to say even the villains/anti-heroes I find myself empathizing with, or at least seeing from their perspective. This is such a nice wrap up to an enthralling fantasy series I know without a doubt I will be reading again. It was also, just a little bit of a shock I was not expecting!!! While Dahlia isn’t the most lovable character, she certainly is inspiring, strong, and extremely loyal. I haven’t met a character or being quite like her yet, and it was such a pleasure to hear her story. Love, love, love this series.

This series is fantastic….and I highly recommend listening this series from the beginning but it is also bittersweet it is the end…..

Dahlia, a dragon shifter, is trying to pick up the pieces of her life after the fall of Sentinel City…but with missing friends, the veil between the worlds, monsters galore…..will Dahlia finally bring her inner dragon out to help save the world?!?!

There is so much to this story… details that grab you and adventure and action that await! While I am sad this series is over (but will definitely listen to all the books again) I’m excited to see what the author brings out next for my listening pleasure.

This was a wonderful final conclusion in this series. I cried at the end because it was over. The culmination of everything brought it all full circle. There was the perfect amount of action, hope, and heartache. I loved every minute of it. I can see people potentially being disappointed with the ending, but I think it was the best option for all.

Nite Fire: Exit Strategy Audiobook by C.L. Schneider – Review by Callie Luna

Nite Fire: Exit Strategy is an incredible story! This is the first book that I have read/ listened to by C. L. Schneider. From the first word, I was propelled into an incredible action scene and an apocalypse to boot. The action and suspense are present throughout the book. I did not want to stop listening for a minute!

The audiobook quality and the pacing are amazing. Dahlia’s voice is what I expected and her personality shines through. Some of the other male characters’ voices can be a little annoying but overall I thought the performance was great. During some of the intense scenes, the narrator slows down to really provide the needed impact.

Even though there were previous books that I have not read I was able to understand the story and fell in love the with characters. Dahlia is a strong female character lead. The authors’ descriptions of the places and the creatures gave me clear visuals of the world. I love how Dahlias’ shifting is described. I cannot wait to read/ listen to the rest of the series!

I have enjoyed listening to this series from the start. This is a series that I highly suggest listening from the beginning as they build on one another. It will help you enjoy this series,and the characters   The narrator brings the story to life with are different tones they use.  They made the characters feel real and had me coming back for more.  This is not my first audio but it is one of my favorites.  Dahlia finds herself in a race against time and dealing with the dragon inside that is itching to get out.  This is a fast paced story that is entertaining and easy to listen to.   I highly recommend this audiobook.

5 out of 5 stars

 

Here we are at book 5, It’s the end! Dahlia is one of my favorite characters. She is part dragon but she is also strong, brave and resilient. The apocalypse has finally come and the poo has hit fan. She is trying to save the world. She has so many things going wrong all at once that would make most people collapse. Old enemies return while she is trying to find her missing team. This author has again written a terrific book. A fantastic finish to the series. There is lots of action from the beginning to pull you in and keep you going all the way to the end of story. The narrator does a fantastic job of pulling you in and getting you into the story. I was listening as I did chores and it made them much more exciting as I kept hearing bits about exploding dragon or monster bits all over. The action was detailed. The drama was plenty. A very powerful ending to one of my favorite fantasy series. I have loved this narrator and the author. A terrific combo that has made this a joy to listen to. I love the fact that the snark is in Dahlia. She gives as good as she gets. Her team does as well. I will miss Dahlia and her snark.

Dahlia has worked so hard to build a safe Sentinel City. That all changed in a blink of an eye. As the blight continues to devour everything in its path. Most of Dahlia’s team have gone missing and she must try to save them. I found Dahlia Nite to be strong and independent, with the desire to save those around her. The author of this story has once again kept me reading. This story had so many feels and the suspense was that of a rollercoaster, you never knew what was going to happen next. Which makes for an interesting and well written novel. It is a fantastic audiobook to listen to while traveling. This is the fifth book in this series. It answered so many questions as the book came to an end. It is important that you read the series in order. As I am so sure you will love it as much as I did.

The life Dahlia built in Sentinel City is over, shattered by betrayal and crushed beneath the rubble of a world she’s come to love. But, in the apocalypse, grief is a luxury none can afford. Least of all, the scaled vigilante fighting to protect them.

With half her team MIA, creatures rampaging the streets, and humanity facing destruction, Dahlia struggles to put out more fires than one shapeshifter can handle. All the while, the damaged veil between the worlds is eroding faster. Exits are multiplying, giving the blight free reign to devour all in its path. Relishing in the chaos: the mad scientist bent on seizing Earth for his own devious plan.

In a race against time, Dahlia must find a way to save what remains of this tragic new reality—before the Renewal extinguishes all life on the linked worlds. The dragon inside her is done sitting quietly in the background.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars (The Crown of Stones Book 2) by C.L. Schneider – Review by Savanah Schwarz

The second book of the Crown of Stones series continues with Ian in prison, defeated and without any hope. However, there are others, people who need something from him and people who have ill intentions for him. Either way, Ian will not be in prison long.

I was stuck between being sad, angry, and brilliantly amazed about how Ian’s journey continued with this one.

It continues several years after the first book. Several characters – friends, and enemies – return for more character development and continuation of the story.
I was not disappointed with this book. It grabbed my attention right away and I was thrilled to follow Ian and glad he was not lost after the ending of the last book. I really liked how deeply this delves into Ian and how focused it is on him. Just like any book, there are those I loved and hated. But each character had their own segment, their own reasons to continue. Some fought for freedom, while others fought to live or simply to get closure.

In this book, the world comes alive, leaving you enthralled and enriched with the storyline. Everything becomes so real, almost as if you could touch it. I loved how this developed and was so excited to read the third one. This book is so dark and daunting. It left your brain worn out from the intensity. But it was such a beautiful book. I definitely hope others liked this as much as I did.
