The Crown of Stones: Magic-Borne, is the final and third book in the series form CL Schneider. I found this book to be a great conclusion to the series and just as fast paced and enthralling as the last two. These books are not standalone novels so I would read books one and two prior to finishing this review or other books first. Be prepared when you do pick this one up to carve out a chunk of time to devote to the story. It is a long winded novel at 500 something pages and I found myself looking at the clock in disbelief at 3 am because I just needed to know what happens next. Totally worth it though and the novel takes you on a wonderful and vivid adventure. There is a tad of something for every sci-fi lover in this one. From time travel, magic, and action that will have you on the edge of your seat. The characters are well developed and loveable even when you want to shake a few through the kindle screen. I look forward to seeing what will come next form CL Schneider and if it will be another fabulous sci-fi type novel or something with a new twist.

This is the 3rd and final book in The Crown Of Stones Series.
It follows the continuing story of Ian Troy and his friends as they set out to ride the world of the evil Jem. But after an attack their resistance has fallen and Ian is struggling to control the magic inside him.
Ian is sent on a journey back in time to try and find out how to control the crowns magic, how to stop the spell thats changing him into an eldring and how to defeat his father so peace can return. This is no easy journey, people will be lost and things will be revealed that weren’t expected.
I really enjoyed this series and this last book definately didn’t disappoint.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Borne by CL Schneider is the third and final installment of The Crown of Stones series. This is a fantastic ending to a great trilogy of books. Ian Troy’s story has been amazing to follow and I feel the author left the story in a good place. This is definitely a series you want to read in order because one book leads to the next. I love the amount of time and detail the author puts into her stories and this one doesn’t disappoint. I am sad to see this one end but the author did a good job on the ending. I look forward to what this author writes next.

L. Schneider – Review by Sheri Schrader
MAGIC-BORNE is the third book in “The Crown of Stones” trilogy. This is a series that has to be read in order. You would be doing yourself and the series a disservice if you read it all wily nily out of order.
This was the (I believe) the longest book of the trilogy and it took me a bit to read it. I was reading the books one right after the other, but I found I had to pick this one up and down a few times to be able to finish it. There is a lot going on… Action, adventure, intrigue, redemption and time travel.
The overall arch of the trilogy was well plotted. These three books together form an epic fantasy adventure with very clear cut beginning, middle and end. i would guess this author is NOT a “pantser” and probably has a timeline with pins and threads tying everything together.
While this is the end of Ian’s story, there is room for more. The universe this trilogy is set in has lots of untold stories and I feel like it could go on for a bit more.
I recommend this series and thing it would be an enjoyable read from YA to Elder.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars by C. L. Schneider. This story transports readers to an adventure in fantasy that you won’t soon forget. This is the second book and I do recommend you reading them in order. This book was just as good as the first, we’re taken on more of a journey with Ian. This book packs quite the punch with its smooth storyline and well developed characters. The authors writing style is clear and well detailed. It’s hard not to get lost in this story. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I’m excited to see where the author takes readers next. Four stars and highly recommended.

L. Schneider – Review by Katie Kearney
Once Again, C.L. Schneider has done it again in the continuation of Ian Troy’s story. I like how it didn’t immediately pick up where the last book was left off, but that only made me starving to know just what happened, and was trying to put the pieces together just as Ian himself was. I have to say it’s not often that a sequel is as good as it’s first book, but this one took the crown home. With her World Building, descriptions, and attention to detail and not afraid to be graphic some times, This was just as brilliant of a take on the fantasy genre as her first one. I am eager to see how it all concludes in the third and final book, which I am about to start reading the second I finish this review. I recommend this to anyone who loves fantasy and even to those who usually aren’t fantasy folks, you need to give this one a try.

L. Schneider – Review by Mary Katherine Alexander
Much like Ian Troy, I too have an addiction to magic, though mine is confined within pages of fantasy novels, and this was no exception, if anything it only made my addition worse. It begins with your usual fantasy good vs evil but as the story unfolds, and more background and world building is done, it becomes so much more than that. Schneider did such an amazing job taking the fantasy novel and making it her own. The building of the background material and the world made me want more and more. I loved how it wasn’t all just so simple black and white with how everything was meant to be, but that it touched on all the Grey area in between. I will be the first to say all magic comes with a price, but it’s a price worth paying to read this book.

L. Schneider – Review by Mary Katherine Alexander
This is the second Book in the series and I thought it was just as good as the first one. I would recommend reading this series in order. I was pulled in from the very beginning with this one and it was so chock full of action and suspense, I was in the edge of my seat throughout it. There’s murderers, danger and alot of adventures. It was a great read to pass the time with I would recommend this to anyone that likes suspenseful books. Happy reading!

Jones – Review by Anastasia Dodson
CL Schneider has quickly become my go to for book with sci-fi and magic details that will promise to keep me enthralled. Normally this isn’t my go to for genres but I can never deny myself the chance to discover the books Schneider puts out.
The Crown of Stones: Magic Scars is book two in The Crown of Stones series from CL Schneider. I would highly recommend that you read the first book, Magic-Price, before diving into this one. Be prepared to be sucked in and have a huge need to get your hands on book three as soon as you can. I sure know I have found my anxiety fully ready for it after this book because I know there is more to the story we didn’t get here that will be in the next novel.
In Magic-Scars we find Ian waking in a strange dark prison and he has zero idea about the basics; who, what, where, and why. The worst of it all is that he has been drugged in order to suppress his magic from being used. The world around him is a disaster and he will struggle to put the pieces together to be able to be whole enough to fight and protect the ones he loves and cares for. This book is vivid and gorgeously written with so much detail you will feel as if you are right there in the novel with Ian. I loved this and felt like I literally sat on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading, all the way till the last page. I am so anxious to read book three!

5 Star The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars (Book 2) by C. L. Schneider is a wonderfully written fantasy book. I’ve been patiently waiting for this installment of this Trilogy and to say I wasn’t disappointed is an understatement. I found myself lost in the pages and couldn’t stop reading till the end. I had to know what happens next. This story is the continuation of the first Book. Isn’t wakes up after being in prison for two years and has no clue who he is ,where is or even what is going on. He’s been tortured and drugged to keep his magic suppressed. Ian is really struggling to put his life back together and pick up the pieces ,he’s not the same man he was before. He’s there only hope but he has no memory from amnesia and the Crown is broken. Find out what happens next in this absolute must read. I can’t wait to dive into the next Book in this series.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars (Book 2) by C. L. Schneider was a great continuation of Troy’s story. The world that was created in the first book was expanded. The attention to detail continued and it helped me keep everything straight. The emotional rollercoaster made this a well worth it read. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book!

Schneider has done it again! Magic Scars (sequel in The Crown Of Stone series) was everything a sequel should be. Sarcasm, shock, tons of fighting, and plenty of magic, it lives up to the first book in plenty of ways! I could hardly put the sequel down, and I can’t wait to read the third book! This second book of the series is one that will keep you feeling, and dying to find out what happens to Troy on his journey with the Crown of Stones.

Testament of Feats by K.H. Jones a five-star read that will surprise you with the depth of Sorrow. This is book two in the series and is the Book of Sorrows, it follows on from the first book, so I would say its best to read them in order. This one built on the last and that just made it so much stronger for me, it just added to the details and made Scream more real and deeper. The world building and character development are so well done that you can’t help but get so sucked in, you really feel like you are there with them on the journey. I for one can’t wait to see what will come next from this author, there is a real talent at detailed writing that is deep but not so deep that it becomes too much.

This story picks up with Meda not remembering much of anything, but her name. This story combines romance, adventure, and suspense with ups and downs for Meda. I really enjoyed reading this story. I also love reading how Meda handles everything and finds her way back to those who love her.I cannot wait to see how all the twists and turns play out!

It’s very hard for me to describe how I feel about this book. I am so blown away by this series. This is the second book in The Testament of Feats series. The second book, Testament of Feats: Book of Sorrows (Book Two), K.H. Jones is just as carefully crafted as the first book. If you haven’t read the first one, Testament of Feats:Book of Judgments, you really should pause and go back and read it. I was so excited to once again fall into this world. The characters in this story are all very strong characters so well-written you become very attached to them, they are like old friends. We join Scream as he continues on his journey to find a fellow Ranger but plans never turn out like we hope. A lot can happen between point A and point B and it does. The characters that we were introduced to in the first book are built upon and more fully developed in this book. There’s suspense, there’s action, romance and many unexpected turns. And there IS sorrow. This book will take you away it will transport you to another universe, another time, you will be lost in it. I can’t recommend this book enough.

What another great read! These books definitely have to be read in order to fully appreciate the story. Once again I couldn’t wait to dive into this world that this author has created. This read is full of action, adventure, suspense and danger. This book is written very vividly and you can mentally picture everything that happens while reading it. This book also had me on the edge of my seat with anticipation of what could happen next and I couldn’t wait to see what else the characters had to face on their journey. I’m really enjoying this series and I think all will too! I can’t wait to see what else come from this author!

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars by CL Schneider is the second book in a fantastic series. The story of Ian Troy continues as more memories come back to him. He is trying to figure out his past so he can understand his future. The world they live in is very uncertain and dangerous. How will he work this all out? The characters are very well written and guide the reader through a great story. I recommend reading these books in order because each book builds on the next. I have enjoyed many reads from this author and this did not disappoint.

Testament of Feats: Book of Sorrows (Book Two 2) by K. H. Jones. I once again found myself completely drawn into this story. I like books that take me by surprise and this one definitely hit that level. Once again we’re taken on quite the journey with this cast of characters and I enjoyed it just as much as the last book. The characters truly draw readers into their world and you can’t help but settle in for the adventure the author takes you on. The words jump off the pages and came alive before my eyes. If you’re looking for a book that has your imagination running this is exactly what you want and need. It’s well written and paced nicely with characters that hook you from start to finish! Four big stars and highly recommended!

Testament of Feats: Book of Sorrow by by K.H. Jones is the second book in this fantastic series. I would definitely recommend reading Book of Judgement first as it really does lead into this. It was so great to be thrown back into this world and these characters. Scream is a character that I keeping finding myself surprised by and just how much I get behind him. The author has done an amazing job a creating such a fantastical world. It is well written from start to finish and it is such an exciting book – and series – to read. I would highly recommend this book and I can’t wait to see what else is to come from this author.

This is the second book in the series. In this story we follow Ian Troy with his journey from being captured and drugged, to finding his way back to the man he once was.
Along the way he delivers some retribution which leaves his skin marked. Why this happens no one knows but they search to find out.
To become the person the resistance need him to be he needs to be able to use his magic and control his addiction. The risk of him not being able to do that are too high.
Its an amazing second book to the series and i cant wait to read the third.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars is the second book in “The Crown of Stones” trilogy and I highly recommend reading this series in order.
As with Magic-Price, this tale is told in the first person narrative and is full of action. I’m so grateful that I am reading these stories after the entire trilogy has been published. I can’t imagine having to wait for the next to be released.
The story is almost told from a moralistic point of view. Decisions that are made ALWAYS have consequences. When a faction suppresses natural “order” sometimes the price that must be paid is higher than the results initially gained. Manipulation of societies is NEVER a good idea and perhaps folks in today’s socio-economical environment could learn a thing or two from reading this fictional account of good vs evil. – I digress…
As an arch from book 1 to book 3 the story flows forward and the protagonist has some growth that was good to see. This is a fast paced adventurous tale that I did skim a little bit. There were times when things felt a little repetitive, but that is to be expected I think.

Misplaced (Joined Book Two) by Mara Gan was a fantastic read! I give this book a five out of five stars. This is book two in the series and I felt like it was a great continuation. I enjoyed the plot and the twists and turns definitely kept me engaged. The characters were well developed and the attention to their development felt intentional.

Misplaced by Mara Gan is the second book in the Joined series from her. I loved the first book and was very anxious to get my hands on this one to see where things would go next. I would personally recommend that you read the first book before diving into this one or you may find yourself a tad confused at times. This book will be the one you want to carve out some time for because it is so fast paced and full of action that you will be anxious on the edge of your seat to find out what will come of the characters you have grown to love. I know I did and was awake slightly past my bedtime to read the end.
This one finds Meda awakening very confused. She doesn’t even know if her real name is Meda. Regardless of her situation she becomes influential in protecting several others. I loved how she was so selfless and inviting as a character. I could totally see myself being friends with her if she were to be real. This book is sci-fi of sorts but also includes some realistic historical facts that enhance the story to make it feel that much more realistic. I loved how I never felt overwhelmed by made up names etc, something I often struggle with in this genre of books. Never an issue with Mara Gan’s work. I look forward to seeing what will come next from Mara Gan, and I am sure I will love it already!

I do love a good fantasy read, and Mara Gan has once again proved that she writes brilliant Fantasy Romance. This is book 2 in the Joined series and for the full effect of these books, they should be read in order! This book has twists and turns throughout, you can never guess what is about to happen! Along with the twists and turns, this read is full of suspense, adventure, action & mystery things you always need in a good read! I was hooked with this book from the first sentence! We get another lot of brilliant characters that I love watching them grow and progress with their story.
Mara Gan creates a fantastic vivid world that is made mentally visual with her descriptive words, and I love diving into the world she creates. I can’t wait to see what else this author has to offer and what else will come next!

Mara Gan’s Joined series is one that moves between different genres. The first book was science fiction, with a space opera feel to it. The second book, Misplaced, is a mythological fantasy set in Ancient Greece. They are held together by character and story but the world has a completely different feel to it. I particularly liked Meda in Joined and love how her character is developed in Misplaced. She has woken up in this strange world with no memories of her past, besides her name. She is struggling to survive, going to desperate lengths to protect others and herself. The world she has found herself in is one of corrupt power and unjust rules, where doing what is right can get her into a lot of trouble. As before, the world building was fantastic. There were plenty of recognisable figures and events from history and mythology, as well as vivid scenes such as markets and forests. I could really picture the environments Meda was in! For me, this is a five star book. I’d recommend reading from the start of the series if you’re after a rich fantasy that will take you to some wonderful places. I’m really excited to see where this story goes next, and how it develops further. After Joined and Misplaced, it feels like anything could happen!

As I said in my review of the 1st book of this series I am not a huge fan of sci fi or fantasy…I enjoyed the first book enough to read this one and I might have liked this one a little better. It’s been a bit since I’ve read the first and I thought I was ok because most of the book can be read as a stand alone but later on some of the first book came into play and I probably should have refreshed my memory and it might have helped, but this one felt completely different and I did enjoy it more.
I really did like Meda, her character was awesome and I was drawn into the story right away with reading about her waking up and the sensations she was experiencing trying to figure out where she was, and then who she was. Her struggles to survive felt very real, and realizing her special ability yet having no idea how she got it was awesome. I loved how she set a mission to help and followed through.
The story did flow nicely and didnt feel near as wordy as the first book did. I will just say that if your a fan of Sci Fi, Epic fantasy than you will love this book. It was written very well. The whole Meda and Perseus part of the story put a whole new spin on second chances. I loved that!

Misplaced is the much anticipated second book in the Joined Series by Mara Gan. I have been anticipating the release of this book, waiting to continue from where we left off in book one. To say I had high expectations would be an understatement! I adored the first book and couldn’t wait to dive into this one. I am so impressed by this exciting second instalment!! It is everything I could have hoped for, and more!!! The story picks up a little after the climactic events at the end of book one. Meda awakes on a remote beach- with no memory of where she is, how she got there- or anything else for that matter- except for knowing her name. I won’t go into too much detail here, because I don’t want to spoil the story for you. But what ensues makes for an exceptional, and spellbinding read which any real fantasy lover sure won’t want to miss. As it is a continuation of the story from book one- I really recommend reading the first book before beginning on this one. There is a lot of backstory, character introductions, and other important information contained in Joined (Book One), which I feel you need to know in order to fully appreciate this book. This book has so much going for it- it has a bit of a Greek myth feel to it- but with an originality all its own. It’s a mystical and suspenseful- with mystery, drama, danger, action, adventure, brilliant world building, superb characters, intriguing storyline, choreographed beautifully, with real historical facts sprinkled throughout the storyline to add an extra element of interest to the whole thing. I can see Ms. Gan put a lot of time, effort, research, planning, heart, and soul into this story- and it really shows- setting this story apart from many others in the same genre. As I mentioned in my review for “Joined”- the characters are really superb! They’re so well crafted, complex, and incredibly endearing. Ms. Gan’s world building skills are top notch- she has built an entirely believable, vividly detailed, rich and fascinating world in which to set her story/series- right down to intricate backstories, histories, and even languages. The story is elaborate, and multi-layered- with so much happening, I was on the edge of my seat. That ending!!! I NEED the next book NOW!!! I CAN-NOT-WAIT!!!! My mind is reeling with possibilities- anticipating where the story is heading!! It’s set to be EPIC!!!

This is the second book in this series and also second book I have read from this author. I was not let down. I really find that the author has a refreshing writing style that brings the characters to life. I really like how the author picked up from the cliff hanger from the previous book and the adventure in this book really kept me glued to the pages and at the edge of my seat.
I really felt myself putting myself in Meda’s shoes as she struggled with amnesia. The drama and intrigue really add to the book and draw in the reader. I really like the fact that even though Meda is a princess that the author has written her character down to earth and I really found myself drawn to her character. The mysteries about herself that she needs to piece together and the intrigue that ensues really bring the reader into the book. I felt as though I was right with Meda as she goes about trying to remember who she is as she also goes about the new life she created on the planet she awoke on. I really look forward to reading more from this author and I hope this series.

Testament of Feats: Book of Sorrows (Book 2) by K.H. Jones 4 Stars!!!!
This is the second book and I have to say that I was not let down. The author does a great job of carrying on the story. The author has created quite a unique world that really draws the reader in and get lost in the adventure. The characters are well written and even though this is fantasy they are realistic. I really enjoy fantasy books this is a great change from my go to genre.
I really like how the author has continued Scream’s journey to find his ranger friends. This book has continued the story and brought the drama right to the reader. I was quite drawn into the adventure as the evil arises. I felt as though I was right by the rangers’ side as they battle. I really found that I was at the edge of my seat to see how the adventure would unfold. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future and hopefully this series.
