My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoy reading Valkyrie’s stories and this one was no different. This is a very quick read…I’m talking like 15-20 minutes and I really like the premise of the storyline. I’m definitely hooked and can’t wait to see what Valkyrie has in store for her readers with Xenobia’s story and the House Valdis series. Valkyrie’s ability to get her readers to care so deeply about her characters so quickly is amazing and I loved how she moved the plot line along without really any holes or gapping discrepancies. I’m really excited to start reading the House Valdis series. This short story is a prequel to the House Valdis series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an interesting read. It’s a short story. I found it to be a good look into the beginning of Xenobia and Urd’s friendship. This is my first venture into this series and I’m looking forward to starting it. Xen sppears to be strong in this society where women aren’t valued. I found myself totally rooting for them. It’s definitely a book I recommend.

I loved reading this incredibly different story! It is always exciting to read a book and it’s new and different…and the execution is different! It’s amazing to compare this to music.  I love music but there’s so many ways to make music that is great to a genre of people! Loved listening to the fun voice sounds as well.  Looking forward to what comes next from the author!

I’ve read Magic-Price and The Crown of Stones series, but I wanted to listen to it because I love this series! The audio book did not disappoint. The narrator for Ian Troy brought Magic-Price into a whole new light. I loved getting to re-meet all my favorite characters.

I highly recommend reading Magic-Price if you love epic high fantasy. The main character is not perfect and is trying to atone for his prior sins. There is magic, love, friendship, and forgiveness.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ian Troy is a Shinree addicted to magic. He stumbles across an instrument of immense power and pays for it dearly, though it was done with the best of intentions. He trades addictions from magic to debauchery and travels alone through the land until he is forced by an enemy to return to magic to save his land.
I liked this! There was solid world building skill and the book moved fast. I will keep my eye on this author.

C.L. Schneider has done it again!! So much detail put in without it being distracting or boring. Every detail matters. I thoroughly enjoyed this next leg in Jarryd and Ian’s journey across the lands. So much more growth as characters and relationships and it all ties into the original series. Absolutely loved it!

Another great adventure with Ian Troy and Jarryd Kane. This trip takes them into a world where two Shinrees are worshiped as God’s and known as “The Twins”. Ian and Jarryd soon learn that things are not always as they seem. The character development was great in this book. I really felt like I got to know the personalities of the two better than the first in thos series. The writing just keeps getting better. This is book two, but you get to knkw the characters so well, you could read as a stand alone book, but you won’t want to. Another great fantasy book.

Schneider does it again with this hauntingly dark fantasy novel. I could not put this down; I was so excited to reconnect with Ian and Jarryd to see where their adventures would take them next. The ever-troublesome duo gets into yet another frightening experience when Jarryd sits to play what he thinks is an ordinary gambling house. He sure gets a rude awakening when he and Ian are both drawn into yet another sticky situation fighting for life and death once again. This story is so action-packed, you will be drawn in and cannot help getting invested in each of the character’s trials as they fight to win the game. What will the consequences be, for sure it’s a lot more than money that they are gambling for. The settings are so ingeniously portrayed that you will become a part of this great adventure as you battle right alongside our two main characters.

All he wanted was to end the war. Fate had other plans.

 

Ian Troy is one of the Shinree, a fallen race born with an addiction to magic. Enslaved and drugged to suppress their deadly desires, the Shinree live to serve their masters. After years of forced combat in Rella’s long, brutal war, Ian is desperate for peace. With defeat imminent, he defies orders and wields the Crown of Stones, an ancient relic of untold power. Ignorant of the artifact’s true nature, he ends the war, but pays a terrible price.

 A decade later, Ian is still running from the blood in his veins and on his hands. Curbing his cravings with wine and regret, he struggles to forget. But when a fateful encounter with a pretty assassin brings him down that dark path again, Ian’s addiction is awakened–and denial is no longer an option.

 With the realm he gave up everything to protect once more in jeopardy, Ian becomes embroiled in a violent race for control of the Crown of Stones. As the deceptions unfold, his path becomes clear: to save the realms, Ian must embrace the one thing he fears most: his own power.

 Magic-Price is the award-winning first installment in The Crown of Stones trilogy.

Fortune’s Favorite (Soulbound Journeys Book 2) by C. L. Schneider. This is not my favorite genre but I have quickly begun to love this author. This book was so fast paced and felt like I was really there. I would recommend picking up book 1 before this one to better understand the characters and story. This is the continuing journey of Ian and Jarryd and they are needing supplies. They both have different ideas about which port to enter. When they decide on Maldarehm Ian is not sold on and has very strong feelings of unease about it. Jarryd is not concerned in the least so he gets to gambling like he has no cares in the world. Ian on the other hand is searching for clues and while on this journey finds people he didn’t know existed and decides he needs to learn from them only to find them done with Ian and sending him off on his way. Will Ian find the clues he’s looking for and will Jarryd get them all in trouble with his gambling. Read this fast paced read to find out!

C. L. Schneider has delivered another amazing book in the second installment of the Spellbound Journeys series, Fortune’s Favorite. While I think it can be read as a standalone, reading it following Book 1 allows for a stronger connection with the characters and their journey. Ian Troy and Jarryd Kane return as the main characters and are just as realistic and flawed as ever. The connection between these two very contrasting individuals is heartfelt and enviable. They embark on separate journeys once docked in Maldarehm, but the ultimate test finds them joined once again. There are so many layers in this story, along with some mind-bending twists that I found it hard to stop reading. I wanted to find out what would happen next. As with all of the books I’ve read by C. L. Schneider, the vivid descriptions and imaginative writing made me feel as if I was right in the midst of the action. I am anxiously awaiting more by this author!

Another great story of Ian and Jarryd full of twists and turns. This one kept me turning the pages to see what would happen next as Ian and Jarryd port in Maldarehm. Maldarehm is a port city that is full of people, colors, and so much to see. Jarryd is in awe of the city but Ian is wary and can feel that something is wrong so he decides to take the long way into town. Krillos told Jarryd and Ian about the gambling house named Providence, the riches, the pirates, and his good fortune. They both get drawn into the games and the unknown magic that is happening. There is a lot of action, betrayal, fighting, a lot of memories, and so much more. I like some of the new characters added into this story like Abi, the pirate captain who befriends Jarryd and Bergen, the guard who seems to help Jarryd when he is able. The history and magic of the Shinree is so interesting and I love learning more with every book.

This author is one of just a few where all I have to do is see the name on the book and I know I have to read it. This book absolutely delivered with every page turned! I was hooked from the start and held captive by fabulous writing that made you truly see everything the author was writing about. I highly recommend reading in order to enhance your experience. I don’t want to give too much away concerning the storyline, you really need to discover it for yourself, but I will say Ian and Jarryd are back and if you love a bit of adventure and magic with some danger thrown in then this is the book, no series for you! I promise you will be as hooked as I am. I can’t wait for more!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this a lot more than “Wandering Isles,” the first in this series of Soulbound Journeys. It is lengthier, but felt more put together and the plot meshed from start to end. It continues the saga of Ian and Jarryd. This book is basically two books in one, with alternating (ish) chapters until their stories intertwine at the end. The consistencies of the two main characters are appreciated, and allows the reader to discover their growth (or lack of). This book also has a return of previous captain (including Krillos, one of my favorites).

My favorite part of the book was the adjectives and vivid descriptions of the settings, I felt like I could be in the gambling hall with Jarryd or the forest/ancient ruins with Ian. Add in some ancient serpents with multiple heads, it was a great read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I cannot say enough amazing things about C.L. Schneider! Fortune’s Favorite is the second book in the Soulbound Journeys. I also recommend reading The Crown of Stones Trilogy first. I absolutely loved this adventure of Ian Troy and Jarryd Kane. It picks up after the events of The Wandering Isles with both of them continuing the Shinree’s ancient journey. At first glance, Maldarehm is a prosperous city without war or struggles. Though Ian has an uneasy feeling about the island and its inhabitants. Ian searches for clues on the island’s past while Jarryd gets wrapped up in gambling where the stakes increase drastically. The growth that Ian and Jarryd go through in Fortune’s Favorite makes the impact of the story much more chilling. The layering in this story and the bond between Ian and Jarryd make it impossible to put the book down. I cannot wait to pick up the next book by C.L. Schneider!

This is the second book in the series. You can pick up the story and keep up without reading the first book, but I’d highly recommend the first one so you can get a deeper connection to the characters.
Fortune’s Favorite is an amazing story. The characters are brilliantly written with many layers. There’s mystery, suspense, action, and danger. And the worldbuilding is fantastic.
Definitely a page turner!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book of C.L Schneider that I love her stories. She takes you to places that keep you attached to the scene and the character. Every part of the book talks about the place and how that character feels. Well in my point of view. And the covers are amazing as well so many details that leave you speechless.

Now in this book, we are at the place of Maldarehm which might seem beautiful but there is many traps or secrets that I was not aware of them at first. Since the first book Ian escaped the Wandering Isles, he wanted to go ashore.
See what I did not know is that there is another character Kane who ran into Ian and both got surprised at this Maldarehm. Where there were magic and rituals that caused to be risks in their lives.

This book is amazing because in each chapter there were different plots and scenes that kept me going.

This book had me on the edge of my seat for a majority of it. A good writer’s tip I’ve heard is “Make the leader learn something new every paragraph.” This author is a PRO at it feeling like there’s something new at almost every single sentence. The book flows so well, and the plot is amazing. I’m definitely going to be reading the rest of their books. From other reviews and researching I’ve done on the author and their books, I do believe the reading order is to start with Cursed Stones, and then move on to this series. Another great book, and a recommendation I’ll be passing on to my friends and family!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is intense!! There’s something new with each chapter that hits, and I found myself needing to slow down so I could fully drink things in. I’m not sure if this is a prequel or if it’s a postquel though, cause there were some things in it that didn’t quite make sense plot wise, but I’m sure as I keep reading the rest of the series they will. It’s listed as a novella, but I think the description says it takes place after the initial books in the series. I’m definitely enraptured by the author and the book, and I’ll for sure be reading the next book, as well as putting the rest on my TBR. It’s a fantastic fantasy with lots of details and by reading it you can tell the author poured a lot of prep and knowledge into the book. It’s also one of those books you love the first time you read it, but read multiple times to catch the small details on it where everything ties together. Highly recommend!

The Wandering Isles by C.L. Schneider- 5 out of 5 stars

The Wandering Isles is a novella that takes place after The Crown of Stones series. This book follows Ian and his friend Jarryd as they set sail for the abandoned Wandering Isles. Only the joke was on them. The Isles were inhabited by magic beings and soon their past comes back to haunt them as they struggle to determine their reality.
This book was riveting! I absolutely love how the author kept me captivated and craving more. I am excited to see what else this author has in store for the future.

What secrets lie in Maldarehm? Once again C. L. Schneider gifts us with such a beautiful and vivid world where I could practically smell the seawater and hear the bustling commotion of the port! First off I fell in love with the cover. It caught my eye the minute I saw it, then seeing it was a C.L. Schneider had me sold! Fortune’s Favorite (Soulbound Journey’s book 2) has an almost seamless transition from book 1 The Wandering Isles picking up three weeks later. Schneider creates such palpable tension between Ian and Jarryd, that really helps you feel the gravity of what they have already faced together. Fortune’s Favorite is exciting, clever, and has an intriguing mystery that will keep you flipping page’s desperate to find out what happens next! I highly suggest starting with book one The Wandering Isles to be able to truly enjoy the depth and gripping nature of C.L. Schneiders Soulbound Journeys! Her realm is nothing less than transcendent and it is so easy to believe every word she writes! I cannot wait for Schneiders next book in this captivating adventure series!

This book was a dark ride into a magical realm and beautifully written.

Twisty and suspenseful, I read this one cover to cover. I really love this author and am going to go back and read some of her previous work. Highly recommend!
