I didn’t realize this was a spin off series from A Crown of Stones and wish I had read those first. I enjoyed the book, it was well written and full of adventure. I read it on one day and was entirely sucked into this fantasy world, but I felt like there was inside knowledge that I lacked about the characters.

L. Schneider – Review by Christina Ford
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.

Since I read The Crown of Stones Series, I loved this book because it gave me insight and was fully understandable. Troy only wanted to leave the past behind but when you have the need to get back in the game it is hard too. When Troy and his friends went out to this Isle their worst fear became a reality. The Author C.L. Schneider did an amazing job, Love this book.

L. Schneider – Review by Charlene Gonzalez
The Wandering Isles by C. L. Schneider was a fantastic roller coaster of thrills. This story starts right out with a mysterious ship of people who board Ian and Jarryd’s ship and cause all kinds of mischief to our two main characters. I love that we relive Ian Troy and Jarryd Kane’s past trials and the mind games they experience without even knowing that it’s not reality. If you have read any of The Crown of Stones books you will not want to skip this novelette because it adds so much to the character’s development and understanding of the bond that they have built. Is the experience that Ian and Jarryd going through reality or is it just a bend in reality? You will not want to skip this amazing book in The Crown of Stones series, it will have you invested from the very beginning of the story. Brandy Rymer 06/2023

I can say that normally I am not a fan of novellas because they end rather quickly for my liking. However, I feel like this gave more insight into the characters that we came to know through the Crown Series. I’m not an author of any kind and I could only hope to pull something as imaginative as this series and put in down on paper for millions of people to read. Even though this can be read on its own it does make references to what happens in Crown of Stones so you may want to read those first. I leave that up to each reader though to so as they so choose. Happy reading to all and I hope you enjoy this series as much as I did. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

This book is set after all the other books and kind of gives you a look at what Ian is going through now. It’s very suspenseful and mind boggling at times. It is very well written and keeps you guessing until the end. The new characters that come in are ones you love to hate but then you end up feeling for them. It makes you feel like you are right there with the characters.

I absolutely loved The Crown of Stones trilogy, so naturally I couldn’t let this novella slip by. I wasn’t sure how much I would like it as sometimes novellas seem like unnecessary spinoffs, but The Wandering Isles stopped me in my tracks. It’s a quick read but don’t let that fool you. The author has a distinctive style of writing that grabs your attention until you’re completely engrossed in their world. Sorry for any responsibilities I skipped out on while I devoured this book! Lovers of dark fantasy will 100% love this book, especially if you enjoyed The Crown of Stones trilogy as well. Don’t skip out on it or you’ll regret it!

L. Schneider – Review by Shannen Kern
The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones (Soulbound Journeys Book 1) is a novella that takes place after The Crown of Stones series. Though this can easily be read as a standalone book, I’d highly recommend reading the previous series to get to know the characters’ history more in depth and just because it’s an interesting dark fantasy read. Both that series and this book are full of action-packed adventure, magical aspects, intrigue, splendid characters, and descriptive writing that will have you envisioning everything the characters face. The first person point of view lets us also see what both Ian and Troy think of everything they are enduring.
This novella takes us on another adventure with Ian Troy and his friend, Jarryd Kane, whom we met in The Crown of Stones series. Ian, a born soldier, has never known himself as anything else, but now that Mirra’Kelen has found peace, he has set out to explore his freedom and to see who he might actually be at his core. It’s on this voyage that he and Jarryd find themselves embroiled in new situations they never saw coming. Can a man that has experienced so much war ever find peace? Will he ever truly be able to let go of being a soldier and all the things he has seen and done? C.L. Schneider has written yet another interesting fantasy that will leave you wanting more.

L. Schneider – Review by Donya Pedigo
I was so excited to read this one. I loved the “A Crown of Stones” series. I hated when it ended. Felt like I was apart of Ian’s world. So happy I still get to indulge in it. This one was definitely interesting. As Ian and Jarryd faced the newest “evil” I also faced a fear. Was this novella going to end with us thinking that everything that had happened was merely their brains trying to cope with being captured? I finished this book in a few hours because I simply needed answers lol. The way the characters and I questioned reality was parallel. Every moment was a wait no this can’t be. There’s no way this is what’s happening. Needless to say I was not disappointed. I could feel all of the characters emotions. I cried when they cried. I was angry when they were angry and I had a sense of understanding by the time the book was over. It was very well written. And although it’s a work of fiction, some life lessons can be learned from it. Thank you for a bother great book. I’ve read every single book you’ve written thus far and I’ve loved every single one of them.

Another great book by this author. Although it can be read before the trilogy, it is much easier to follow and know the characters of read first. With that being said, I love following Ian and Jarryd on more adventures and this book did not disappoint. This was unique in that their stories were connected but not. I liked the back and forth between Ian’s world and Jarryd’s as they came to figure out what was happening. This is another mystery fantasy that will make you not want to put it down.

The Wandering Isles ( A Crown Of Stones Novella) By: C.L. Schneider Review by: Susan Ratchford 5 Stars
What a beautifully haunting dark fantasy novella! C.L. Schneider knows exactly how to captivate readers with her intricately woven storytelling and entrancing dialogue. She beyond creates a truly unique world that is so magical and unexpected, but also relatable! I could not put this novella down for one minute. I hope Ian Troy and Jarryd Kane’s story never ends. If you have not already I highly recommend dipping your toe into C.L. Schneider’s wonderful Crown Of Stones series! I promise you will not be disappointed!

L. Schneider – Review by Susan Ratchford
I loved the ‘Crown of Stones’ Trilogy so when I found out about this spin-off novella, I was instantly intrigued. This author has a talent for words. Descriptions of both scenery and characters are always very vivid making it very easy to immerse yourself into the world.
After the events of the Crown of Stones books, Ian Troy decides to sail to the Wandering Isles with Jarryd. They are met with voices and fog. The Islanders are attached to the island itself and have magical powers. They put the duo through a series of what if events making the men take a different look at their lives.
Ian went through some scenes of what if his villainous father wasn’t dead, what the future could be, and things in the past that are best forgotten.
Meanwhile Jarryds scenarios seem to be surrounding his time in prison. Mostly being stuck there forever, never getting out with Ian.
Will the men be able to leave the island or are they forever stuck in this fake world made by the Islanders?
Once again the author did an amazing job. I love this world and was happy to find out it wasn’t done after the trilogy ended.

The Wandering Isles by C.L. Schneider was a great addition to the Crown of Stones series. This book was centered around one specific event that involved the main character of the series so it was a shorter dark fantasy story than all the others on the series but it didn’t lack the weight of all the others. I enjoyed it.

It is always hard to say goodbye to your favorite characters, I was excited to find another tale of their adventures awaits. The Wandering Isles is a novella from after the A Crown of Stones trilogy was completed. I highly recommend reading the series before the novella otherwise there are major spoilers ahead for you! Ian Troy has set sail with Jarryd Kane to find adventure on the open seas. Unfortunately for them, their past still comes back to haunt them on the Wandering Isles as they struggle to determine reality. I highly enjoyed this extra tale of Ian Troy’s adventures due to Schneiders’ excellent use of storytelling and details. I look forward to enjoying more tales from Schneider!

L. Schneider – Review by Callie Luna
The Wandering Isles is Book One in the Soulbound Journeys Series. It is an action-packed fantasy novella that continues with the Crown of Stones Series and can be read as a standalone, or as part of the series. The story centers around Ian Troy who we were introduced to in the Crown of Stones series. He has sacrificed everything for peace in his land and they no longer need his magic. Now feeling as though he is free to choose his own path, he leaves his home behind and sets off on an adventure with his friend Jarryd Kane. Tracing the routes of his ancestors he discovers a mysterious place known as The Wandering Isles. The island seems abandoned, but it is hard for them to tell, and this is where things take a turn and become dark and mysterious for Ian and Jarryd. This place may have secrets that would have been better left undiscovered. Ian and Jarryd are put to the test as the bounce between reality and nightmares starts to take its toll on them. This was a captivating psychological fantasy packed full of action, adventure, suspense, danger, intrigue, and magic. The author did a marvelous job of world building with some dark undertones and a hint of danger that keeps you reading until the end.

I wasn’t expecting to find this novella which continues the Crown of Stones series, so it was a nice surprise. Although it can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading the Crown of Stone series first to truly grasp the undertones and background.
Once again, the way the author describes the world creates such a vivid picture you can also step into it yourself.
The characters continue their personal growth and its great to see how the relationship between them develops.
I really enjoyed reading this after recently reading the entire Crown of Stones series, it was great to jump back into the world and I hope for more.

L. Schneider – Review by Rayne East
The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella (Soulbound Journeys Book 1) by C. L. Schneider a short dark fantasy.
All the pleasant feelings associated with discovering and reading the first book years ago came flooding back to mind as I read about Ian and Jarryd again.
Ian and Jarryd set out towards an unknown island at the start of the novel, where they encountered unusual onlookers and supernatural beings who offered them a “trade”. I was left wondering what their business was, who they were, and captivated by their race because the whole trading thing is a little sketchy and the details are vague. I savored every instant of their interactions with Ian, pausing briefly in wonder.
As a side aside, this could probably be read alone. The author did an excellent job of bringing to mind who these historical figures were and why they were significant. Overall, a really entertaining book.
Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. The story really brings excitement into your life. I couldn’t put the book down

I thoroughly enjoy the world that C.L. Schneider created for The Crown of Stones, and now continued with The Wandering Isles. As others have said, you can absolutely read this as a stand alone, but having read the trilogy prior, I already had the world in my mind and was better able to develop the storyline in my head as I read.
Ian Troy and Jarryd Kane continue together, happening upon a grouping of what they believed to be uninhabited islands, only to find themselves battling those who reside on the island in their minds.
This was a great short read, intense and page turning. Highly recommend!

What happens when Jarryd and Ian find the Wandering Isles? I am so glad the Crown of Stones Series isn’t over and we can read about what comes next. As a trade is coerced there are many fears exposed, they can’t trust what is happening and Ian and his magic complicate things. This story really showed Ian how his ability to recognize his flaws and use that information to make them strengths. Content warning: Sex and some language

And here I thought I’d never hear the inner thoughts of Ian Troy again! This Novella was a perfect addition to the series… there is enough detail where it could stand alone without the series but I do feel I had a better understanding of the characters having read the other books. Peace has been achieved. Ian and his magic are no longer needed….or is it? Ian and Jarryd head to the wandering isles thinking they’d be deserted but come to find that is definitely not the case and what they will have to endure is so much more than they knew. Another well crafted tale by this author who continues to impress.

This Novella follows on from The Crown of Stones trilogy and it had me completely hooked from the first word!! I feel like you can read this even if you haven’t read the trilogy but I highly recommend reading them just because they are so damn good you won’t want to miss them. This talented author expresses her worlds to readers so damn well you truly can see everything described. You truly feel completely in that that place and moment! It’s official if I see this authors name I am reading the book, it’s just that simple!!!

The Crown of Stones series in itself was tremendous and I highly advise reading those first before this novella, though it can be a stand-alone if you wish. This novella continues to provide the world building, character loving, fantasy mapping, thrilling adventures that C. L. Schneider keeps you coming back for! Her attention to detail and ability to enthrall the readers is what is making this series and novella such an epic hit.

Schneider</a><br/> My rating: <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5595656974″>4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br /> Another great read from CL Schneider. An encompassing novella that continues from the Crown of Stone Serries, this novella can be read as a standalone; but flows well as a continuation to the series. Reading the series will explain a few of the intricacies, back story and older history of the many tribes and species we meet in this book. <br /><br /> Again, the author continues describing vividly as with their earlier books, and I found this one just as difficult to put down, I needed to know what happened. <br /><br />The continuing character development and world building keeps you hooked as Ian Troy sails for the Wandering Isles, and from there the magic and mystery continue. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/34425105-tracy”>View all my reviews</a>

Schneider Review by Jasmin Slagle
I have to start with I had a hard time getting into this book. However, I loved the originality and how well this novella flowed with the original series! I think these books deserve to be made into movies they are THAT good.

L. Schneider – Review by Emmye Marihugh
I liked this better than the trilogy- thought the plot, writing and sequence of events was more succinct and less wordy and drawn out. I appreciated how the story picks up right after Magic-Borne, and throughout this novella, we learn more about Ian and Jarryd’s previous experiences as well as their down-again and up-again friendship.
My favorite part of the book was how the main character of the book doesn’t even exist, being spirits/faes/undetermined entities that inhabit the islands Jarryd and Ian have sailed to. Haven’t read a book before that a non-entity drives the plot along as well as C.L. Schneider does in this book. Overall, I enjoyed this book and makes you think- would you want all your fears taken away?

L. Schneider – Review by Jennifer Crain
The Wandering Isles is a novella that is book 1 of the Soulbound Journey series. It takes place after the Crown of Stones series. We are following Ian Troy as he sets sail for the Wandering Isles with his friend Jarryd Kane, believing them to be abandoned. As they get to the isles, they soon realize that there are other magical beings there and find themselves in a very unwanted position. This novella was a wonderful read. Going on more adventures with Ian Troy post-war was an immersive treat. Wonderful world-building, adventures, and character development are par for the course with this author. You feel like you are on this wondrous adventure with Ian and Jarryd. The writing takes you along with all the emotions that the characters experience. A great addition to the Crown of Stones saga.
