Magic-Borne (The Crown of Stones, #3)Magic-Borne by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I like the covers on all the books in the series but this feels a little different , like the magic is possessing Ian and after reading , even more so 💥

This is the end of the trilogy and be sure to have read the other books otherwise you’ll feel totally lost , I’ll be honest I was exhausted as I binge read but that in no way reflects on the book ❣️📚 what I would recommend is take a breather in between each one that way you will take more in and do the series justice 🥰

The fate of an entire race lays at Ian’s feet and sacrifices have to be made and again it seems like it all falls on Ian . Everything comes together and there’s action , love , drama and quite a bit of action , so a few boxes have been ticked 😉

This is the first book of the series I have read. It’s a little slow in the beginning but it picks up. It gives you everything fantasy you need. Gives you the battles, and love that you need, but without being overboard. This book gave me everything I want in a fantasy book! Such a wonderful series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

With the fate of everything hanging over Ian Troy, the question soon becomes ‘How much will this cost our hero in the end?’ This story delivered on the promise of a brilliant ending and more! Though I’m feeling a little emotionally wrung out after getting past the last few pages of this conclusion to the series, I have a sense of contentment at it all concluding as well. This third book pulled me through so many emotions that I find myself still reflecting on certain scenes despite a few days passing since I read the last page. The author has this way of making you both hate and empathetically understand the villains, a superpower in this series that I noted along with the depth of the characters. I generally don’t read epics and steer toward more urban fantasy books, but I just couldn’t resist this story after the first page of book one and can’t feel even the slightest hint of regret.

This is the last installment of The Crown of Stones series and it doesn’t disappoint. Ian is trying to learn how to balance things and there is not a lack of excitement in this book. The author has such a way of pulling you in in the very first moments of the book and keep you drawn in until the very last word.

Fate, fantasy, finale
What an adventure this trilogy has been. This book brings Ian’s journey to an end in a magnificent way. The characterisation, world building and epic battles were brilliantly executed and the emotions raw. This book brings answers that have been sought from the start and some heartbreak. Highly recommend the whole series from start to finish.

While I am a fan of fantasy books it has been a while since I have been completely immersed in one. These books have all been great from start to finish. Don’t get deterred from seeing how many chapters there are because you will be disappointed once there are no more pages to read, you won’t want to the story to end. So in this third and final installment we have losses and victories. His father wants to rule over all as the newly self-appointed Emperor. While he tries to find out the secrets of his people, the Shinree, he continues to add scars to his body every time he uses his magic. In the end he finds that in order to defeat his father he must destroy the Crown of Stones. But what will it cost? I didn’t want to see this series come to and end, but I was NOT disappointed. I was happy to have been put onto this series and I will definitely be re-reading them when I am in need of some entertaining reading.

The third book in an epic fantasy series. Just like the first two, I didn’t want to put this book down. The world, the characters, the action, everything was very well written. Rarely does a sequel live up to the first book, but both the second and the third not only did that, but surpassed it. The only complaint I had was that it ended.

This is the final book in Ian Troy’s journey. You definitely have to read the first 2 books to know what is happening.

The story is action-packed and deals with a lot of heavy topics. The writing was well done and there were times of laughter but also ones that made my heart hurt.

I’m not sure the conclusion was what I wanted, but it left me curious what the author will be doing next in this world!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Magic Borne by C.L. Schneider is the third and final book of the Crown of Stones trilogy. We once again join Ian Troy: Shinree, solider, revolutionary as he tries to stop the new self-proclaimed emperor from his evil plans and steer events away from foreseen tragedy. Once again we are taken on a journey through this complex world with costly magic and complex characters but this time we get far more history! The character development found in the books is nothing short of magnificent. The story remains compelling but dark. It is a fitting ending to a journey that, in the midst of book one, I wasn’t sure would be worth the ride.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Can you change a vision or is his fate already sealed? Ian Troy has lost so much and fought so hard for so many, but it seems, no matter what he does, fate has other ideas. This fight just keeps getting bigger. All of Mirra’kelan will have to unite if they have any chance of thwarting the new self-appointed emperor. (This is so hard to talk about without giving away spoilers, so I’m going to stop there and tell you to read it and explore this series for yourself.)

This is an amazing, fast-paced, action-packed read. There are so many amazing plot twists that some will definitely take you by surprise and keep you guessing. C.L. Schneider’s writing style is so descriptive and imaginative that you feel as if you’re transported into the book. And her characters, can I just say wow, especially Ian Troy, he’s so complex, detailed, and imaginative. Along with good verses evil, this book mixes in lore, history, magic, and other fantasy aspects that are woven so incredibly well together. This was the first series I’d ever read by C.L. Schneider, but I know it won’t be my last. If you love fantasy, great characters, and a whole lot of action, then you really need to check out this series. I’m honestly sad this is the third and last book in the series.

Magic-Borne is the third and final book in The Crown of Stones trilogy. Ian Troy is fighting to fix the glimpse into the tragic future that he foresaw five years ahead. As events start playing out like he was foretold he doesn’t know if his presence will be enough to change it. Is his future set-in stone? Will he be enough to stop his father and finally destroy the crown of stones?

This book is even darker than the previous two due to the intensity of the story. The twist and turns had me devouring this book. I loved this epic trilogy and highly recommend it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the final book in the trilogy, and I am suffering from a serious book hangover from this series. I need more.

Great characters return to join Troy and I genuinely feared for them at times. I found myself wanting to put the book down from the tension but needing to carry on, because I had to know what happened, had my favourite characters survived the latest dangers?
I found that the fight against the enemy brings more revelations and character development in Troy which I enjoyed. He seems much more mature and seems to have found himself as a character. I think we see the best of Troy in this instalment; though still flawed, he is the best version of himself as I don’t think it would be right for him to be perfect, not after everything he has endured.

Once again, the author has played with my emotions, provided surprising twists and left me sleep deprived in my need to finish reading. This might just be my favourite book of the series.

There’s not much I trust myself to say that won’t contain spoilers as I’m itching to discuss the plot twists, my favourite characters and well, everything about this series with someone!

What I can say is that the characters are very well written – unique and vivid – and you will get emotionally invested in their relationships and adventures. You won’t want to leave them, and you will feel part of the team having stepped into the novels to join them in their fight.

I am so grateful that I didn’t have to wait for the release of each book, I was able to binge-red the series. I think the anticipation would have driven me mad otherwise.

While I am so sad to see this series coming to an end, Magic-Borne is a dazzling read! This has been my favorite fantasy series in such a long time. C.L. Schneider has an incredible way of wrapping you in their world and making you feel at one with each character. She is one of the authors that I follow very closely so I don’t miss anything! Ian has been through the ringer, and this is the continuation of his fight. The amount of action, magic, romance, and endurance that you can feel which means you’ll be right there alongside the characters the whole way. Be sure to start from the beginning of the series because this is a very detailed story with amazing world building and in-depth characters. I highly recommend this entire series because it is just mind-blowingly epic!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Magic Borne is Book Three in The Crown of Stone Series. This instalment in the series concludes the story of Ian Troy. After the resistance was lost Ian was forced into hiding where he must find a way to save his people from the evil clutches of Jem Reth, who has made himself emperor. Ian suffers under the weight of what magic has done to him. Although it causes pleasure for him it also comes with great pain as it is slowly turning him into more of a beast than a man.

Ian and his people have been subjected to slavery and endured suffering under the rule of tyrannical leaders. The fate of Ian’s people lay on his shoulders and in order to free them from the realm he needs to destroy The Crown of Stones. The outcome needs to be successful in order to save them which is a heavy burden to bear. Will he have the courage and strength to save himself and his people from the clutches of evil?

If you have not read the first two books in this series, I highly recommend that you do. Each story builds upon the preceding book. This series has captivated me from the beginning with its storyline and kept me riveted to the end. The characters are amazing and facing their own unique challenges in a world full of tyrannical leaders, slavery, and abuse. They crave freedom and may pay the ultimate price to achieve it. Ian is a character that you both love and hate at the same time. He makes some terrible decisions but has good intentions, so you feel conflicted. Ian is struggling with his own inner demons and conflicts as he fights the urge to use magic. He is constantly fighting the beast within that he is slowly becoming each time he uses magic. This takes us on an emotional rollercoaster ride along with Ian as he tries to navigate who he is becoming. Overall, an amazing series full of magic, action, suspense, drama, intrigue, friendships, tyrannical leaders, and the battle of good versus evil.

I’ve become so deeply immersed in this magical world, I barely know which way is up in my own. My attachment to these characters is borderline embarrassing lol. I feel like I’ve lived with them & been connected with them for far too long to say goodbye. This writer has done a fantastic job creating these raw, flawed, & perfect people. These books & this story are so incredibly enchanting, it is truly bittersweet to let them go. So honestly, I probably won’t & I’ll probably read them all over again in a while lol As ever, I am thoroughly impressed by C.L. Schneider & I’ll 100% read anything else they write. They have crafted a spellbinding creation & their innate gift overflows into every word. Do yourself a favor & throw yourself all the way into this series like I did. An exciting, entrancing experience awaits you!

Ian Troy is at his lowest low. The entire realm is falling apart and he’s the only one who can do anything about it. Or can he?

This book features elements of time travel and hallucinations. I find that difficult to process when reading (or even in watching something). I struggled with keeping up with aspects of the story for this reason.

This is a series that definitely needs to be read in order as there is too much information carried over from previous books in this series. Fantasy adventure readers will love this series and hope for more!

Having not read any of the other books in the series, it took some time to get into the story and its characters. The world and character building, however, are quite fantastic. I enjoyed the struggle of this band of friends and enemies and the constant push and pull between characters, their views of each other, their past, and their politics and how those struggles weaved in and out of a story of war and sacrifice. The balance between what’s good and right and weighing the cost of that battle is a continous theme while unraveling the mystery of exactly what the narrator must do and give up to achieve victory.

What an exciting conclusion to The Crown of Stones Series! Magic Borne is just as mesmerizing as the first two books in the series. C. L. Schneider pulls the reader in with amazing world-building, realistically flawed characters, and endless emotions and twists and turns. From the beginning of his journey, Ian Troy has intrigued me, infuriated me, and ensnared me in his web of magic. All of the books in this series are not for the faint of heart or for those looking for a short fantasy story. They are lengthy, but grab your attention and hold on tight until the very end! C. L. Schneider creates a world of emotion that is difficult to escape. The characters are unique in that I often found myself upset at something or “hero” did and found myself sympathizing with the “enemy.” That is a truly new perspective for me and any of the books I have read in my life. Often, books are more black and white, while real life rarely is. However, Schneider has created such realism in her writing that it mimics real life’s shades of darkness and light.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Crown of Stones: Magic-borne by C.L Schneider is a book about The thrilling conclusion reveals Ian Troy’s destiny as well as the universe of Mirra’kelan.

The resistance was crushed all at once. There were deaths. Hope had vanished. Peace seeped through his fingers like sand grains. The Crown of Stones did likewise. Now that he has been driven into hiding, Ian Troy searches for a method to save the realm and its inhabitants from the cruel rule of Mirra’kelan’s new self-proclaimed ruler. He struggles to change things and protect the people he loves about because he is plagued by the knowledge of a horrible future. But fate has other ideas, and his power has betrayed him.

Each cast moves Ian one step closer to turning more into a beast than a man because he is marked by the crown and constrained by the transformation spell it contains. Every action draws the unfathomably close to death and destruction predicted in his vision. With Langor on the verge of war and King Malaq’s peace proposal in jeopardy, Ian travels back in time in search of a cure for the eldring spell and a way to stop the emperor’s expanding dominance. What he discovers there starts a series of revelations that take Ian in directions he never would have imagined.

Ian, who is given responsibility for his race’s destiny, emerges as the key to long-lasting reform. Just how much weight can a single man bear? And how much of himself is he prepared to give up for peace?

Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a unique dark fantasy trilogy. The story really brings passion into your life. I couldn’t put the book down. I have binge read the series at this point and I absolutely love it.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price by C.L Schneider is a book about A war-torn continent, a fallen race, and an epic narrative of a flawed hero.

Ian Troy has only ever experienced the ugliness of battle. What he ever desired was peace. When fate gave his battle-weary hands the ancient item with untold power known as the Crown of Stones, it had other ideas. He put an end to a battle that had been tearing the realms apart since before he was even born with one rash wish. and paid an extremely high cost.

Ian is still troubled by that horrible day ten years later. He tries to forget what he has done and whom he is while running from the blood on his hands and in his veins. Denial, however, is no longer an option when his past crashes into the present due to a fateful encounter with an attractive assassin.

Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a unique dark fantasy trilogy. The story really brings passion into your life. I couldn’t put the book down. As the story progressed, it made me glad I got the second one to get started on it right away.

The author continues with a roller coaster of action and adventure. I loved how detailed and descriptive the story was, you really feel like you are there with the characters. I loved Ian and how he persevered through all of his trials and the strength he showed. This story will absolutely tug at your heart and keep you enthralled until the last page. Wonderful series for anyone who is a lover of fantasy novels.
