Testament of Feats: Book of Judgment by K. H. Jones. I sometimes have a hard time sinking into a fantasy type stories but I had no trouble with this story. This book is well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. The characters are complex and truly pulled me in. The story is no quick read and I mean that in all the right ways, I had a hard time putting it down but I had at times simply to stop my head from being overloaded with all the amazing things happening in this book. The author created a truly unique story world that kept me hooked. I’m excited to see where we’re taken next from this author. Four big stars and highly recommended.

I have gotten lost in this world and didn’t want to re-emerge. The continued tale of Ian Troy was jam packed with imagery and detail, good vs evil, an amazing fantasy world. Schneider has done an incredible job with this series. I’ve loved every page and can’t wait to read more from this author.

Misplaced is the second book in this series and again another enjoyable read from Mara Gan. As soon as I started this book I again was captivated by the authors writing, her imaginative writing style transported me into the story and the loves of the characters. I was really engaged in what I was reading from beginning to end. I love Meda’s character, there is just something about her that draws me to her, she is strong and stubborn yet to the people she cares about she is willing to do anything. I loved the twists and turns this story took – I definitely wasn’t expecting some of them and I was glued to the pages hoping that it would end how I wanted it to!
I would definitely recommend reading this series in order. I am looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

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 the second book in The Crown of Stones series. It picks up two years after the events of book one.

I have to say that I have loved every book I’ve read by this author and this one holds up to the rest of them. The world building is superb. And, while it can slow the story down a bit sometimes, I love the attention to detail. When you are reading this story, you get lost in the adventure and feel like you are living alongside the characters.

This is definitely a page turner. You will find yourself losing sleep just to find out what happens next as the story takes you on an emotional roller coaster full of twists and turns.

Magic-Scars is the second book in THe Crown of Stones trilogy by C.L. Scheider. I highly recommend reading the first book Magic-Price. That story will fill in the gaps so you have a better understanding of Ian Troy’s story. Schneider effortlessly continues the story with Ian. As the story goes on I am falling in love with Ian. His character has been through so much that I was feeling sorry for him. With everything he went through his magic addiction, in this story he is a prisoner for King Draken of Langor again. He is hopeless and his spirit is broken. He is trying to gain his momentum again. Will Ian get away from King Draken? Will he be able to assume his magic? What will happen to Ian? Keep reading to find out about what happens next to Ian.

5-Stars

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Borne (Book 3) by C. L. Schneider is the final book in this series. It’s an amazing conclusion to one of the best fantasy series I have read in a long time. It continues to feature Ian Troy as he travels into the past to correct wrongs and find a way to bring down his father. I love that Malaq and Jarryd continue to be present for this story. They have fun personalities and really seem to balance Ian’s character at times. Like the other books in this series there is a lot of action and build up to a well thought put climax. The story is easy to follow even though it is lengthy. Don’t let the length be daunting though because there is a lot packed into this novel. I really enjoyed this final book and loved the series. It is one of my favorite series now. I highly recommend it!

5-Stars

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars (Book 2) by C. L. Schneider is an amazing addition to this series. It is a continuation of the storyline that begins in book one and cannot be read as a standalone. Ian, Jarryd, Malaq, and many other characters are back in this exciting novel. The story was full of action, magic, friendship, and loyalty. Ian has no memory at the start of this book which made a huge difference in his character compared to the first novel. Things change as the storyline moves along though. I felt that the author did an excellent job pulling me in for an amazing climax with this story. Its length may seem daunting to some readers but so much is covered! I highly recommend it! It is so good and may be my favorite of the series.

This is book two in this series. It picks up where the first one ended. It is very important to read this series in order or you will have a hard time understanding everything and the connections between the characters. I really enjoyed this book much more than the first. In this book , the story continues and the plot thickens. The story progresses quite rapidly with so much happening. The growth and evolution of certain characters is amazing. Once again the author did a fantastic job of creating his world. The author is detail oriented which helps in these epic adventures. Certain things happen which I wasn’t too happy about but I realize they are vital to the story. There were certain hints that were dropped about what is yet to come. I’m very excited about reading the next part.

Testament of Feats: Book of Judgement Book One by K.H. Jones
4 Stars

Testament of Feats is an epic adventure fantasy series. Giants, Bards, Druids and demons fill the pages of this novel. Night Scream is a ranger for the Dogs Clan. Some of his fellow rangers have disappeared and during his patrols, he tries to find them. Scream is so much more than just a ranger. He is cursed with being the Jaw of his clan. He exacts justice for those that need it.

There is a malevolent force awakening and it wants Night Scream. Throughout the book Scream is being stalked, he feels it breathing down his neck in his nightmares. Falling into trouble several times, Night Scream fights to survive and figure out what is hunting him.

The author does an excellent job of creating the world these characters live in. The book was so intrinsically detailed that you could almost feel the frigid air biting your bare skin. At times I found the story a little long because of this but the story kept me interested. I want to know what happens. Will Scream find his friends? What evil is chasing him? I will definitely be reading part two.

Misplaced was an interesting read for me, a little different than what I normally read and that made me like it even more. I was pulled in from page one and hooked on the authors great writing style. I felt like I was in Meda’s shoes and was experiencing everything right along with her. At the beginning of the story, she wakes up a a beach with only the knowledge of her name. Shes soon learns that she has powers/skills that no one else has and she feels others won’t understand. BUT she ends up being surrounded by awesome people that help her on her journey. Will she ever regain her memory back or should she go on with life as it is now and forget the past?
This was a great read and I loved how different it was. I am looking forward to reading more by this author and I would recommend this to anyone that looking for a interesting read!
Happy Reading!

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

I must confess. After I read the second book of The Crown of Stones Trilogy I knew I was hooked. I had this one, The Crown of Stones: Magic-Borne by C.L. Schnieder standing by and I started it as soon as I finished Magic Scars and read it from cover to cover. Did not do anything else till I had finished the book. It was that good. From the beginning of Ian’s story and the tremendous guilt he carries, to the dawning of his realization of what his world needs, all things come to a climax in this last book of the series. If I was to boil it all down, I would say love and sacrifice is what this book is about. Truly outstanding. There are a few steamy scenes but nothing that distracts from the core of this story. I can’t say enough good things about this story. I will be reading it again and maybe a third time. This is a book you will add to your library and come back to. I am only disappointed that this book completes the trilogy. I am ready for more adventures with Ian Troy!

If you read Crown of Stones Magic Price then I know you are in line for this one. The Crown of Stones Magic Scars by C. L. Schneider was a stellar encounter. I was blown away by Magic Price but this second book in the trilogy has me hooked for good. The nearly unbearable guilt that Ian Troy has been burdened with sees a new direction in Magic Scars. You can see the struggles that our own society is going through in the pages of this book. To see a thing and know that it is good and feel such sorrow because others can’t or won’t see it. There are a few steamy scenes that may be uncomfortable but this is a story you must read. You have my word you will not be disappointed.

What a sweet sweet romance. It has been such a delight to read this second book Misplaced by Mara Gan. If you have not read her first book Joined you owe it to yourself to read that one first, if for no other reason but to appreciate the pure joy of a love story that happens twice to the same two people. Even if you have not read Joined, this book will stand alone. It’s a wonderful story about an ever increasing love. Meda doesn’t know anything beyond her name. Who she is, or where she came from. Whatever her situation though she is a gal with a can-do attitude. Perseus, doesn’t know why but he feels drawn to her in spite of himself. This is a feel-good love story without the distractions of steamy situations. This one was a true treasure.

While this is book 2 in this series, it mostly reads as a standalone as we don’t really get anything from book 1 until way into the book.
We follow Meda, who wakes up on the beach with no memory but her name. She soon figures out she is very different as she has healing powers, with just a touch of her hands.
We follow her on a quest to find out her past and have some great reading along the way.

An epic ending to a fantastic series.

Schneider held me captive with this story from the first page of the first book through the last page of this one. The journey I have been on with Ian Troy has just been beyond the scope of my imagination. The storyline is grand and epic. It is a fantasy world that you slip into and truly feel transported with the characters you encounter. This was the perfect ending to the series and overall just a great read. This series is going on my read again soon rotation – just that good.

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

Magic-Borne is the third and final book in C. L. Schneider’s The Crown of Stones series. It is an epic fantasy series that centres around Ian Troy, a Shinree whose fate is intertwined with that of the magical Crown of Stones.
This series has fantastic world-building. I’d definitely recommend starting at the beginning to get more of the details. There are many different races and species characters with different motivations and alliances. There is a long history that influences current and future events.
One thing that I particularly like about this series is that all magic comes at a cost. Troy, and others, do not use their powers without careful consideration – the benefits are always weighed up with the consequences. This is particularly true for Troy, whose magic usage is gradually turning him into a monster. As someone who regularly finds himself in situations when lives – his or others – are on the line, he often has to make the choice between saving lives or staving off his seemingly inevitable downfall.
I’ve really enjoyed this series. For me, this is a five star book. Fans of big fantasy series like Lord of the Rings and Eragon will love this magical, action-packed story.

The Crown of Stones: Magic- Price is the first book in the Trilogy of The Crown of Stones by C.L. Schneider. This is not my first book by C.L. Schneider. I liked the other series and when I saw this series I knew I had to read it. Schneider has great plot lines with amazing characters. This story has a little of everything- magic, action, war, and adventure. Her characters are complex and fully developed. This particular story is about Ian and his journey. Ian is part of fallen race, Shinree, who has an addiction to magic. Ian was made to serve his masters. He fought in the brutal war and he wanted peace. At the end of the war, Ian moved forward and was running from his involvement in ending the war. Will Ian be able to keep his addiction in check? WIll Ian’s world turns upside down in the awakening of the past? You will have to read the book to find out the answers to these questions and more.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Borne (Book 3) by C. L. Schneider. This is the final installment into this series and I’m sad for it to come to an end. It’s the story of the fate of Ian Troy. In one big swoop the resistance was gone and lives were lost and the Crown of Stones was no longer in reach for Ian. Ian has been thru so much on this long journey. He’s been knocked down, his magic stolen and betrayed by everyone. Knowing that the future is very bleak Ian tries to change events and save those that he cares about. Ian’s vision is not pretty and he’s afraid if this war keeps going the direction its heading no one will survive. This book is full of adventure, emotion and it keeps you on the seat of your chair. You do need to read the other books ahead of this one so that it will all make sense. Its a fun thrilling ride so buckle in and get ready to be hooked!

This series continues to capture my imagination in the best possible way. It is epic on all fronts and is so very richly detailed. I’m transported into this new world much like Tolkien. It is full of fantasy and imagery and drama and feels so very tangible and real. I immediately dove into this second book and devoured every page. For me, the reader truly needs to read the first book before reading the second in the series as it does build off the first. Just a great book and series.

Misplaced: Joined by Mara Gan is the second book in the Joined series. This one doesn’t seem like a direct continuation of the first book but there are connections revealed. Meda has found herself on the beach with no memory of anything other than her name. She has the special skill of healing people she finds out quickly. Who is Meda and how does she fit in?
This book is a sci-fi, fantasy, with romance. There is action, twists, and lots of intrigue and danger. I enjoyed seeing how Meda was going to change and learn who she is in this book. I am curious where this author will go next with the story.

Misplaced by Mara Gan is the second book in the Joined series. This book doesn’t necessarily need to be read in order although I would recommend it as I feel the overall story will be more fluent.
I was excited to start reading this book given how much I loved the first. Honestly I didn’t like this one quite as much however I still really really enjoyed it. I knew early on that I absolutely had to find out what was going on and to see if Meda was ever going to discover her missing memories – and what those memories might hold for her.
The characters were all interesting and I liked how it felt as though they all played a part. The story was full of twists and turns that it kept you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. I would definitely recommend this series.

Misplaced is the 2nd book in the Joined series by Mara Gan. It follows on from the first book, Joined. I really loved the first book and was excited to see what the author had in store for Meda and Perseus next. This book was so not what I expected but I have to say that I absolutely loved it. I just could not put it down. I just had to know how this change of direction of the story would all work out.
Mara Gan has taken the reader on an amazing journey in this second book. Meda has woken up on a beach and has no memory of her past life. All she is sure of is that her name is Meda.
I absolutely loved how she and Perseus found their way together and fell for each other again, not knowing who the other person was due to their memory loss. In this book Mara Gan has written the most amazing story, with outstanding characters, some of whom you will love and others you will despise.
The story flows really well and you get totally dragged into the danger, intrigue and growing attraction brewing around these amazing characters. As well as Meda and Perseus, this book has a wonderful collection of secondary characters who have a vital role within the story and add much humour, danger, intrigue and mystery to this wonderful tale.
One thing I must add is that I’m praying that this is not the end of the Joined series as I’m not ready to say goodbye to Meda and Perseus yet.

Misplaced was a great 5 star read, I was pulled in right from the beginning.

We start with Meda waking up on the beach, the only thing she can remember is her name. We then jump ahead two months. She has discovered the past couple of months that she has certain skills that others may not understand. Meda also discovers that she can heal people. She surrounds herself with some great characters that want to help people right along with her. I really liked Kako.

Will Meda get her memory back and find out who she is?

Overall I really enjoyed this read. There is so much in this story, you won’t want to stop reading until your done. We get mystery, romance, action and so much more. We also end with a lead into the next book. This is a great fantasy read and I look forward to the next book in the series. I also enjoyed the historical notes after the story.

By the time I started this book I was so emotionally invested in the characters and their lives. At time’s I was a wreck through this story and yet I loved every minute of it.

Misplaced by Mara Gan a four-star read that you won’t want to misplace. This is number two in the Joined series and I would recommend you read them in order as you do get the most of it them that way. This has been a solid fantasy romance series, and the author does a great job of keeping you hooked. Meda is strong and stubborn, but strong for others and always willing to put herself out for others anything to help and heal them. As you go through the story and find who is Meda? You will enjoy discovering her story and finding her grow into herself. I don’t want to reveal anything about what happens as you do need t read the story to find out the glorious details of this story.

I am sorry but I just didn’t like where this book went. I absolutely ADORED the first book so I was curious what would happen next. It had been a while since I read Joined (book 1) so I reread the last couple chapters get back up to speed. I really didn’t need to do that. This story can be read as a stand alone since there isn’t much connection to Joined until very late in the book. Even then it was confusing to me. This seems like a different story. Now as a stand alone story it is fine. Different world, different characters (to an extent) and different story.

This is the second book in this series and my second by this author. I am not sure I would continue with more. This one was too confusing to me. I keep looking for a connection between books/characters but not much was there. Once it showed up I had already moved on with the new characters. I seemed to find a lot of problems that were sewed up in the last 15% of the book. Sorry Not a fan.
