I enjoyed this novel, following Ian and Jarryd as they continue on their journey together. I don’t want to give away too much of the storyline, but I like how the story dives into the affects our past makes on our future. Especially when surviving so much, decisions made and the things we have done are never far from our thoughts. Some haunt us forever. Ian and Jarryd have a special bond that tightens their relationship even more and works to help them help each other, while dealing with their own demons. Great read – now on to the next one!

L. Schneider – Review by Kerry Chalmers
Schneider needs to be immediately added to every single fantasy-lover’s must read list. I always hope but never know how she will surpass her previous work. The Crown of Stones books are simply amazing stories. This novella is set up beautifully to be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone. However I will express that once you read once you won’t want to read it without the others. You will want to immerse yourself in the entire universe. Another amazing journey with Ian Troy!

L. Schneider – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella by C.L. Schneider is the first book in The Crown of Stones Novella Series. This book is a side story of The Crown of Stones series but can be read and enjoyed easily without having read the series. This story is like others by Schneider filled with great characters and world building. It is easily to fall into the world the author has laid out for the reader. I really enjoyed the characters and the adventure of The Wandering Isles. The Isles are so interesting and puzzling at the same time. It is otherworldly and kept me reading to find out would happen. I look forward to reading more from this series soon.

L. Schneider – Review by Sheri Schrader
I don’t normally read this genre, but have made an exception for this series. C.L Schneider has such a way with words, that I find myself sucked into the book. The Wandering Isles is the first novella, following the Crown of Stones series. Normally novellas are small tidbits of information the author adds on, but this feels like it could be a full story. The imagery is wonderful, and the connection between Ian Troy and Jarryd Kane is one I’ve never seen before. While I will admit, I was lost and confused the first half of the book, the characters were too. So I don’t take it too personally, haha. I love being able to see things unfold from their point of view, and feel what they are feeling. I am glad to know the author plans to put more novellas.

It felt so good to be back in the world of Ian Troy. It felt like coming home. I enjoyed catching up with Ian and becoming a part of his continuing journey to finding himself and the truth about his people. The writing of C.L. Schneider as always was masterful. I look forward to reading more about Ian Troy and his continuing adventures. I love this world and excitingly await the next adventure.

L. Schneider – Review by Cindy Rushin
The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella by C.L. Schneider is the first book in the Crown of Stones Novella series. This is a spin off series to the Crown of Stones Trilogy and, while it can be read as a standalone, I think it is best to read them in order as they are all so good! This book is such a fantastic book. It was great to be able to fall back into a world that felt so familiar and yet be introduced to a new story at the same time. I thought the characters worked so well together too. The balance between them just added so much to the story. This whole book was so well written. It was engaging right from the word go and I was sucked in immediately. I have definitely enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to reading more. This is a highly recommend series.

L. Schneider – Review by Kerry Baker
The Wandering Isles is a new Novella Series that leads on from the Crown of Stones Series.
It’s been a while since I read a book from this series, but after reading this book and being taken into this world again, I forgot how thrilling this world is. This is a mentally visual read that along with the author’s descriptions and compelling writing you can help but imagine this all out in your head as you read it. This book not only takes you through the emotions, but also through the ups and downs, and twists and turns, being the magical, dark, adventurous fantasy read that it is I couldn’t help but be captivated by the storyline and the characters once again!
This is a fast-paced, action-packed read that shouldn’t be missed! I highly recommend this read

L. Schneider – Review by Chantelle Smith
The Wandering Isles is a novella that follows the Crown of Stones trilogy. Even though you can read this story as a standalone, I highly recommend reading The Crown of Stones books. They are amazing!
As with The Crown of Stones, The Wandering Isles is expertly written. I was sucked into the story within the first paragraph and felt like I was living in the book with the characters. The world building in all of the books I’ve read by this author is excellent, and this book is no exception. I can see it like a movie in my mind as I read.
You really get to know the characters on a deeper level in this book as it’s a novella focused on a specific event. Even though it’s a shorter story, you don’t feel like you are missing anything.

The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella (The Crown of Stones Novella Series Book 1) by C.L Schneider 4 Stars
After Ian Troy sacrificed everything for peace, he decided to leave Mirra’ kelan with his one friend Jarryd Kane. They became explorers of the high seas, travelling wherever the wind blew. Deciding to explore the old routes of his ancestors, he tried to find the Wandering Isles. Unfortunately, some things shouldn’t be found. They were forced into a trade that pushed the boundaries of their sanity.
This is a complex story that plays on the darker side. It is about two people who have lived through hell and having to face their nightmares to overcome their fears. Sometimes it is the “what if’s” that are worse. What can come out of the recesses of your mind are sometimes worse than reality. The story is well written though I did find it somewhat redundant the constant switch between nightmare and reality. There is a twist near the end which can lead into many more wonderful stories in this series.

The Wandering Isles, A Crown of Stones Novella is the first book in the Crown of Stones Novella Series by C.L Schneider. As with the original Crown of Stones Trilogy, this is a very intriguing action-packed fantasy adventure- with wonderful originality, magic, discoveries, dramatic developments, and superb world building. This could be read as a standalone, but I think that as this book draws on events and characters which occurred in the original trilogy, that this book would be better enjoyed and appreciated having read the Crown of Stones Trilogy first. We watched Ian Troy go through so much, at great sacrifice to himself, in the Crown of Stones Trilogy. Now just because the realm doesn’t need him and his magic anymore- doesn’t mean his adventures are over. He just doesn’t realise that just quite yet. But he will. Ian sets sail to do some exploring, and soon finds himself on the shores of the mysterious Wandering Isles. The area seems to be abandoned- but are they really? What happens next makes for an exciting and intriguing read which will see Ian and Jarrod tested again in ways they could have never imagined. A well-crafted, clever, and creative story that sets this new novella series off to a great start. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella (The Crown of Stones Novella Series Book 1) by C. L. Schneider was a fantastic continuation of the Crown of Stones trilogy.

The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella (The Crown of Stones Novella Series Book 1) by C.L. Schneider is dark, mystical and magic. It is a complex and thrilling tale and this new world CL has created is unique and intriguing. Her writing always manages to leave you with vivid scenes that are easily imaginable, and you can see where she takes you. This gripping tale will keep even the keenest reader guessing at each and every turn. This is a standalone novella but I recommend reading the others, so you get the background of the characters and an understanding of who and what they are.

The Wandering Isles by C. L. Schneider is the first novella in the Crown of Stones series, and was a great read! It was so comforting for me to be back in the world with Troy and Jarryd again, but this time on a new adventure. I loved the first three books in the series so much, I was overjoyed when this one came out! This book definitely did not disappoint, and exceeded all the expectations I had for it as well! Completely enthralling, it captured me from the beginning. It was also a quick read, at least in regards to other novels in the series. The synopsis says this can be read a stand-alone novel, and while it can be read that way, it makes much more sense when you read the other three books first! I highly recommend reading not only this novella, but the other books as well!

The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella (The Crown of Stones Novella Series Book 1) by C. L. Schneider. This is not my favorite genre but C. L. Schneider has made me a huge fan. I knew this was going to be good when I started it and I was not disappointed. Its part of A Crown Of Stones Series but can be read as a standalone. Its a fast paced read that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Its the story of Ian Troy who has given up everything for peace. His magic is no longer wanted or needed so he is free to do what he chooses. His choice to set sail on a journey to explore with his friend Jarryd Kane ends up in a crazy survival test. They end up at the Wandering Isles where the inhabitants haven’t been seen for years so the guys think it is deserted. What they find is something very different. Will they survive the crazy battle they are about to be in? Read The Wandering Isles to find out!

C. L. Schneider has done it again with The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella (The Crown of Stones Novella Series Book 1). Although not a part of the Crown of Stones trilogy it does feature some of our favorite characters. Having left Ian and Jarryd on a boat at the end of the trilogy we get to travel with them on their journey. Dealing with the past is never pleasant but Ian and Jarryd have a past that is particularly difficult. The new characters and the world the author creates is quite interesting and I think new and unique. C. L. Schneider will forever be on my read list.

The Wandering Isles: A Crown Of Stones by C.L. Schneider Five Stars
The Wandering Isles is the first novella in a series that takes place after The Crown Of Stones by C.L. Schneider. These novellas can be read without having read The Crown Of Stones series but if you love fantasy books, you are definitely going to want to read that series also. The Crown Of Stones was the books that introduce me to that genre and I can’t seem to get enough of it now. The Wandering Isles is just as amazing. The characters are original and so detailed. The storyline just sucked me in from the first page and I couldn’t put the book down until the last. I’m glad to be following Ian and Jarryd on this dark fantasy adventure. I can’t wait to find out what happens next in this series. I highly recommend all of C.L. Schneider’s books butif you haven’t read any yet, this is a great place to start!

The Wandering Isles by C.L. Schneider a five-star that will bring light to the darkness. This is the first in the Crown of Stones novella series and can be read a stand-alone, but I have to be honest as I adore the Crown of Stones books, just like this one they have a way of bring you into the story, making you feel like you are there with Ian and Jarryd feeling the waves flow and ebb. This is a complex and thrilling story and Ian and Jarryd will keep you hooked at every turn.

Have you ever wanted to take to the seas and stumble into islands that have a mystery about them and their inhabitants? Well the good news is that in this novella you can just do that. C.L. Schneider does an awesome job creating this world so you will take that journey. She paints a vivid picture of the Wandering Isles with her words: you feel you were on the island with Ian and Jarryd. Ian and Jarryd both complex characters who are woven into the story perfectly. There are twists and turns as well as ups and downs. I felt myself being drawn into the book as I read the pages. I had to do some reality checks to make sure what I was reading was in my book world and not in my real world. Will Ian and Jarryd be able to pull away from the Wandering Isles or will it be their doom? I highly recommend this book and the series of A Crown of Stones.

L. Schneider – Review by Erica Fish
I really enjoyed this novella, a first in a line of several novellas that tie into CL Schneider’s Crown of Stones series that I have previously enjoyed. It was an even nicer departure to read a shorter form of the adventures that take place. I felt like I was able to get more familiar with characters and enjoy more of the history as it was easier to take in while reading. I really love how these stories take you away to this magical and mysterious new land. The way Schneider is able to bring to life this world with her words you see and smell it almost even as you read.
In The Wandering Isles we get a lot of Ian and Jarryd. These two were fun to follow and kept me engaged as I was reading with their personalities. Things move even more fast paced in this novella and are quite enthralling. The story has a lot of magic and mystery that makes you sit on the edge of your seat for the next exciting chapter. I loved this one and am anxiously awaiting the next novella to be devoured soon!

The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella (The Crown of Stones Novella Series Book 1) by C. L. Schneider. Once again I found myself sinking into a storyline a bit outside my normal reading but that’s nothing new with this author,. I often find myself completely drawn in with the books from this author. This is a off shoot from another fantastic series and while there’s some character overlap you can read this as a stand-alone without any confusion, but I do highly recommend the other books also. From page one I knew I was in for another great adventure and the characters had me hooked from beginning to end. The storyline is well thought out and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. The characters simply draw you in and I found myself completely losing track of the outside world for a while which I loved. I’m excited to see where the author takes readers next. Four stars and highly recommended.

L. Schneider – Review by Katie Kearney
The Wandering Isles is the first in a series of novellas that continues the story of C.L. Schneider’s Crown of Stones series. It’s been a while since I read the series, so it’s great to get more of the story! The novella format is a departure from the longer novels that made up the original series. It works well with this story, which focuses on a single incident on Troy and Kane’s journey. It’s an intense, mysterious story with strong psychological elements which is short enough to hold the reader captive for the duration. The connection between Troy and Kane, both magical and personal, is a powerful force and motivator in the Crown of Stones series and the nature of this story, where the two are travelling alone and are forced to confront and expose some of their deepest and darkest fears, really develops that relationship. For me, this is a five-star read. I was totally immersed in the strange world Troy and Kane found themselves in and couldn’t put the book down! It reminded me at times of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, and also of a Stargate SG-1 episode (The Gamekeeper – S2 Ep4). It was also great to be reminded of the Crown of Stones series – I want to reread all of the books now! This could be read as a standalone, but for me it was particularly powerful in that it reminded me of the events and tensions of the novels. If you have enjoyed the Crown of Stones series, this is definitely worth a read! If you haven’t read them yet, this might be a good place to start as a shorter story that gives you a taste of Schneider’s style and introduces the characters.

I was so pleased when I saw this book as I loved the 3 Crown of Stones books. Even though this is a stand alone book I would recommend reading the other 3 so you get a full picture of the characters and their stories.
Ian and Jarryd have left their lives behind and took a ship to sail away and have an adventure. Following Ian ancestors journey they find themselves captured by the islanders of the Wandering Isles. An ancient people they live off peoples fears and so we see the journey of Ian and Jarryd as they face their fears from the past and the fears for the future.
Its a gripping adventure which keeps you guessing at every turn. I cant wait to see if their adventure continues and what will happen next.

I loved reading the book The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella (The Crown of Stones Novella Series Book 1) by C. L. Schneider. It is a story that has magic and takes the characters to the Wandering Isles. There they find action and danger. I loved reading about the characters of Ian and Jarryd. The book comes alive as you read from their POV. The story had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. This is a dark fantasy book that had me on the edge of my seat. I found my emotions going up and down with both Ian and Jarryd’s as they try to understand the race of beings that they have encountered as well as the situations that they are subjected to. This is a book that had me feeling like I was right there with Jarryd and Ian. I have read The Crown of Stones Trilogy and was excited that I would once again have an opportunity to read about another adventure of two of my favorite characters. Don’t miss out on an entertaining story that you will not want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading this book.

L. Schneider – Review by Laura Furuta
I loved this book from beginning to end. This is part of the A Crown of Stones series but can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest you read the previous three books in this series it will help your enjoyment of this series. This author has impressed me with her creativity and imagination she puts in each of her books. I have no problem connecting with the characters as they take me on an adventure. This is a fast paced story that is engaging and kept me turning pages. In this story we have Ian and Jarryd. I enjoyed watching them grow throughout the story and what they learn about magic. Ian has sacrificed everything and is now free to choose his own way. So him and Jarryd take off on an adventure where they end up at the Wandering Isles. Unaware of what they will find, this is where their adventure starts and it could mean their survival. This is a really great story that will take you on an adventure you won’t soon forget. I highly recommend this book and this author.

L. Schneider – Review by Bobbi Wagner
Ian Troy sacrificed everything for peace. After centuries of conflict, the realms of Mirra’kelan are united. His magic is no longer needed. Free to choose his own path, Ian sets sail on a journey of exploration with his friend and ally, Jarryd Kane.
Months on the open sea, far from the shores of home, they arrive at an isolated chain of rocky islands shrouded in mystery—the Wandering Isles. Their inhabitants, rumored to produce spirits of an exceptional quality, have gone unseen for many years. Assuming the lands abandoned, Ian is unaware of what awaits them: a race of insidious beings unlike any he has encountered before.
Coerced into a nefarious trade by the elusive islanders, reality blurs, as Ian and Jarryd become unwitting subjects in a series of mind-bending trials. Past and future fears, resurrected and melded into their own private hells, force them to face an inescapable enemy—the darkest recesses of their own minds. The only way out is to complete the trade, but will their sanity survive the process?
*The Wandering Isles is the first in a series of novellas that take place after The Crown of Stones Trilogy.
