My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. This is the second book in this series in which I highly suggest reading the previous book first, it will help your enhancement of the series and this author. This is a well written story where the characters are brought to life by the author’s writing skills. They pull you into the story from the start. They keep the story engaging and hard to put down. Ian Troy was content with a quiet ride down the coast. As he stops to resupply before continuing his voyage, something feels off about this port. What happens next, you don’t want to miss. A story with adventure, some suspense and a character who brings it all together. I enjoyed watching the growth of this story. It is easy and entertaining to read. I enjoyed the characters and what they brought to the story. I highly recommend this book.

This is the second book in the follow on Soulbound Journey series. This book continues to follow Ian Troy and Jarryd (my favs since the very beginning).

As per usual in the Ian Troy books, the world building is great, and the plot is unique and gripping. The author’s prose flows nicely and adds to the enjoyment of the book. To make the most of the series I wouldn’t just read from the beginning of this series but also the previous The Crown of Stones series. You get a far better understanding of the characters and events this way.

This book has a brilliant adventure, magic and great characters, you miss out by not reading it.

Looking forward to more!

Fortune’s Favorite is Book Two in the Soulbound Journeys Series. It is an action-packed, dark fantasy book that centers around the story of Ian and Jarryd. The two explorers have been at sea for awhile so when they get to the port of Maldarehm it seems like the perfect place to stop and re-supply. The port seems like a normal bustling place on the surface but Ian senses that there is far more to it than that. Something about this place makes him uneasy and gives him a sense of dread. Jarryd, on the other hand, is anxious to explore and see if the stories he has heard about the place are true. Both Ian and Jarryd set off on their own adventures, taking vastly different paths. Ultimately, fate leads them both to danger and they must fight for their own survival. This was a fast-past, action-filled, thrill ride as Ian and Jarryd fight for their lives against the forces of evil intent upon destroying them. The storyline was riveting and captured my attention as I found myself flipping the pages right up until the very end to see what would become of Ian and Jarryd. The author did an amazing job of creating engaging characters that you find yourself rooting for as they navigate through the perils that befall them. Each scene is so vividly described that you are fully immersed into each scene along with the characters. This book had action, suspense, mystery, intrigue, drama, danger, magic, Gods, and the paranormal. I cannot wait to read the next book in this amazing series!

First of all, this cover is amazing. Such a beautiful illustration. Book 2 of this fantastic journey continues with our journey for our two characters. This book just reaches out and grabs you straight from the start with the beginning of the story. The descriptions and details are so well written that you feel like you are almost there. Again, we are taken on an exciting adventure full of magic, mystical and the paranormal as we journey along. I can’t wait for book 3

This is book 2 in the Soulbound Journey and wow what a great book. The author does a great job of world building and creating a story which is captivating and magical, that grips the reader from the first page. This is a story filled with magic, danger, adventure and I love this series. I do recommend reading these books in order so you get the full story and full enjoyment of what the author has created.

We are back with Ian Troy and Jarryd. They have found there way to the town of Maldarehm. It seems like the perfect place to stop and get supplies. After Jarryd has heard stories about this place and is so excited to go and explore. He heads straight to the centre of town to see if the stories are true. Meanwhile Ian is a bit more cautious and decides to take a slower path into town. Something doesn’t sit right with him so he’s going to find his own way.
Are the stories they were told about the place true? What happen when fortune turns into misfortune? What follows is a story that is dangerous but intriguing as 2 men take 2 separate routes that lead them both to a dangerous outcome. Can they survive this time? Or will the odds be stacked too high against them?

I have loved every book by this author and i can’t wait to see where we are taken next with this series.

Fortune’s Favorite is the second enthralling addition to the Soulbound Journeys Series by C.L Schneider. Can we please take a moment to admire the gorgeous cover of book- it really grabbed my attention and is definitely my favourite of all her covers. I could just stare at it for ages. Love it! And I love this book/series too. It was so wonderfully rich and beautifully textured which added depth and extra layers and complexity to the overall story, building on the superb world-building that I have come to expect from this talented author. It is a fantastic action-packed fantasy adventure- with plenty of dramatic developments, wonderful originality, magic, Gods, games, discoveries, the paranormal, mysteriousness, interesting characters, tension, suspense, imagination, danger, risk, sacrifice, and much more….
Our intrepid explorers have been at sea for some time now and seem to have found the perfect port to dock at to resupply their stores. But Ian feels that things aren’t quite right, or what they seem. Jarrod, on the other hand, can’t wait to get ashore. But things take a dangerous, if not intriguing turn- and without giving anything away, what happens makes for an exciting instalment that had me flipping the pages to discover what would happen and how things would play out.
As expected, this is another well-crafted, clever, and creative story that captured my imagination and has me excitedly anticipating Book #3.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, C.L Schneider!

Fortune's Favorite (Soulbound Journeys #2)Fortune’s Favorite by C.L. Schneider

Fortune’s Favorite is the second book in the Soulbound Journeys series. The Soulbound Journeys Series takes place after the events of the third book Magic-Borne, in The Crown of Stones Trilogy. Whilst you don’t have to read the trilogy first, I suggest you do because you get a better understanding of the characters and who they are. It also means that you have a better understanding of what they have been through. I am glad CL is writing this series because I enjoyed the trilogy so much.
It is dark, mystical and magical and so easily imagined. It is a complex and thrilling world that is unique and intriguing. CL’s writing always manages to leave you wanting more. This gripping story will keep even the keenest reader guessing at each and every turn.
Troy tries to convince his once closest friend that they are on a fool’s errand, but Jarryd can’t reconcile that fact. Now their relationship is strained and any hope they had of freedom was just lies. Troy may just have to battle to save not only his but his friends life.
Troy and his best friend are my favourite characters, but I felt sadness at where they are now at.
Fortune’s Favorite is a fast-paced story, full of drama, action and magic.
I know you will enjoy this journey into this magical world.

Fortune’s Favorite (Soulbound Journeys Book 2) by C. L. Schneider
Genre – Dark Fantasy
Cover Designer – Atra Luna Design

On the surface, Maldarehm was the perfect place to re-supply after a lengthy voyage at sea. Yet underneath this port city’s vibrant, bustling atmosphere, something was wrong. Ian Troy could feel it. After barely escaping the Wandering Isles, he was reluctant to go ashore. Ian was content with a slow, solitary ride along the coast.

Jarryd Kane, however, was anxious to explore a new land, especially one known as a haven for pirates. In the mood for adventure, he heads straight to Providence, the city’s infamous gambling house, and to a game with stakes unlike any other.

Two different paths lead both men to the same dangerous outcome, as Ian and Jarryd are caught in a brutal local tradition rooted in ancient beliefs and fueled by magic. Risk and sacrifice, death and reward—fortune and misfortune—ride on little more than a roll of the dice in Maldarehm. But what do you expect when you’re playing with gods?

Fortune’s Favorite is Book 2 in the Soulbound Journeys Series.
