I’ve not read fantasy in quite a while and I had a few reservations but I must admit I’m grateful I got the chance to read this , cover-art is just amazing 😉
The Shinree are a suppressed nation and “bred” as slaves and to serve and wait upon others ( this really saddens me )
Ian is a Shinree and cones from a family of warriors so it’s pretty much expected that he’s pulled into the ongoing war with the Langorians ….
Ian has a good heart but at times it felt like his goodness was being taken for granted and what’s a good story if there’s not a dash of romance 😍 all in all a magical welcome back into a world of fantasy 🍄

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 book grabbed my attention from the very first line! Not only that, it KEPT my attention! Edge of my seat, intense action the whole way through. I felt for Ian the entire time and wanted to just hug him and put him in my pocket to protect him. A great characer! Very good fantasy story with magic! Love!

L. Schneider – Review by Crystal Brehant
Magic Price by C.L. Schneider is the first book in The Crown of Stones trilogy. It follows Ian Troy, a Shinree solider known for ending a decades-long war with the Crown of Stones. His skills in magic and battle are both feared and needed. This lone wolf suddenly finds himself back in the middle of battle 10 years later with returning and new enemies. This book is filled with creative world-building and characters that have depth. If you’re a fan of slightly darker fantasy then this is a book for you.

Magic-Price is the first in the trilogy of The Crown of Stones series. This book is a must read, once you get halfway through you will be unable to put it down. It starts out with Ian Troy making a terrible mistake that weighs heavy on his soul. Even though it has been ten years since the tragic event where he took the lives of many. When I first started reading it, I got ‘The Witcher’ vibes due to him having a magic horse, white hair, and is set in a similar time period. He is a badass that fights for what he believes is right. After getting further into the story it developed into its own and I was unable to put the book down due to all the revelations. I can’t wait to read the next book Magic-Scars as the ending leaves you wanting more.
I highly recommend reading Magic-Price if you love epic high fantasy. Where the main character is not perfect and is trying to atone for his prior sins. There is magic, love, friendship, and forgiveness.

This is the first book in this fantasy trilogy. I was drawn to the book by the cover and then upon reading the blurb, decided that this was the book for me. It seemed like something I’d really enjoy, and I wasn’t wrong. The story itself, although similar in many ways to other fantasy novels I’ve read, it has so many unique elements as well that it doesn’t feel like the same rehashed story. For example, the way magic works is interesting, there’s more to it than just using magic has a heavy price. The book is written well, from the fight scenes to the more intimate ones, it flows well and there’s never a lull. For a book that’s so long it can hold your attention throughout. The characters were well written, each having distinct personalities and agendas. While I usually loved flawed characters, it took me a while to warm to Ian Troy. I enjoy the fact that he’s not perfect and can understand why he is the way he is (his attitude) there were moments I got very frustrated with his actions, and it tested my love for him. I thoroughly enjoyed the story behind his issues with magic and his anti-hero typing, he is certainly an interesting main character. Jarryd on the other hand had my heart almost instantly – how can you not love the dependable Jarryd?!
Another aspect of the book I really enjoyed was there didn’t appear to be a ‘side’ that was 100% good. The two opposing sides at war both have their own agendas and it didn’t seem to be a straight forward good vs. evil which it normally is. This made the politics and world building seem more real to me.

What an incredible book! Entirely fantastic, truly. Hardcore Witcher vibes, but still unique. I couldn’t put this down! & when I had to, I was craving to jump right back into this artfully crafted world. The different perspectives of the enslavement of the Shinree are portrayed honestly & fittingly, without being graphic or overbearing. Where there is ever favor for it, there’s push against it right alongside. Explanations & reasonings & the complicated history of all the different cultures help a LOT, too. Ian is a bit of an antihero in the best way & his character development is astounding, Malaq is a fierce champion of good, Jarryd is a cute lil cinnamon roll, Sienn is powerful & mysterious & written so well, & Neela is an enigma who deserves so much better than what she’s getting in this book. There is a bit of VAW I don’t love, but honestly it’s almost inescapable, unfortunately. At least it all comes from the known & obvious villains. I’m also not sure how I feel yet about the Shinree having an ‘addiction’ to magic, especially when they’re born with their abilities. We’ll see where it goes! I’m dying to get to the 2nd book & I’m sooo happy I don’t have to wait a year to do it lol C.L. Schneider is a phenomenally talented writer & weaves a story so deeply captivating you never want it to end.

Ian Troy is haunted by the past, tempted constantly to repeat it and is bombarded by those who want to use him for their own confusing reasons. I liked Ian from the start, he has a good heart, a conscience and a need to do the right thing. Sometimes the right thing is not very clear. Ian doesn’t trust easily and finds himself alongside a couple of unlikely allies. He has a hard time believing in himself, but these two see there is something more to him. Content Warnings: abuse, violent sex, language

C. L. Schneider delivers with this dark fantasy! What an amazing beginning to a series. Magic Price, the first installment in The Crown of Stones Series, is full of vivid detail, gloriously flawed characters, and such an imaginative, contradictory (to popular lore) take on magical beings. This complex, well-written story introduces the reader to Ian Troy, a Shinree witch, and his traveling companions. Twists and turns abound, but the story isn’t difficult to follow. There is so much information about each of the warring nations, Magic Price almost reads like a history book rather than a fantasy novel. Of the previous books I’ve read by C. L. Schneider, Magic Price tops the list! I cannot wait to read the next book.

This is book number 1 out of The Crown of Stones series. The characters, the action, and the adventure is everything you could ask for in a fantasy novel. This book provides magic, flows, and enamoring personalities. The book starts with immediate action and doesn’t let-up throughout the story! If you love action, fantasy, and an enthralling story, this is the series for you!

This book was action packed and felt like so much information, action, and events in one book! Ian troy is the main character and I truly enjoyed getting to know him. He is a Shinree magic user who after finding the crown of stones accidentally killed off two armies. Learning about the use of magic through the stones was very interesting. Ian wakes up to the devastation, hides the crown, and leaves the kingdom. Ian then taught himself how to stop using magic and we find the story comes back 10 years after the battle. There are so many other likable characters like Jarryd and Malaq, his two companions on his way back home to help the Rellan palace and the Queen battle against the Langorians. Sienn and Neela are strong willed women in Ian’s life and keep the story moving. The kingdoms that have been created and described in this book are amazing and sound like ancient times with castles, men on horses, and a lot of sword fighting. Ian finds himself in so many battles and it seems that the fates are against him. I am starting the second book now to see where the story goes next!

L. Schneider – Review by Audrie Harrington
The first of a trilogy, I was hooked from about 10 pages in. I normally don’t read fantasy, but quickly got drawn into Ian Troy and the pain, suffering, and perseverance he endures. The writing is stellar at feeling his intense emotions as he battles others as well as himself.
I appreciated the book had an ending, because so many trilogies I have read previously do not have each book have a proper ending (just setting up the next book), but this is not the case here.
One thing I didn’t like (again, I don’t read a lot of fantasy) was the amount of dead bodies/gore involved in the book. I did like the plot, and how the author clearly thought out how the characters interact with each other, and no obvious plot flaws or goofs. The crown of stones plot line is also intriguing- can’t wait to find out what happens to it in book #2.

L. Schneider – Review by Jennifer Crain
Ian Troy is back and he is recovering from his time in captivity, since his rescue, he is numb, his jailers took everything from him, his memories, his magic, his will and his freedom, as well as the freedom of his friends. As everything slowly and painfully returns he is recruited into a desperate rebellion against the High King Draken, a long time enemy of Ian’s and the one who kept him in the conditions he has just escaped.
He is tasked with the job of retrieving and repairing the Crown Of Stones, an object he has used in the past which creates the magic scars which cover his body, it is an artefact of his people which is now lost again, but which is needed to overthrow the High King. Ian is reluctant to use it again and put himself in the path of addiction his use of magic causes, but he knows he doesn’t really have a choice in the matter if he is to save his scattered friends.
What he cannot understand is why his scars are multiplying even though he is not using his magic, this is where he learns about his ancestry and the secrets which have been buried in the past, but can Ian reconcile the man he was, the man he is now and the man everyone needs his to be? This is a fantasy tale of good versus evil and all the grey areas in between, as a reluctant hero faces the past and future in order to save a world which he struggles to merge with, as you follow along on his adventures and feel everything along with his in this roller-coaster of emotion you will not want to put down.
This fantasy had a darkness to it that I just adored. A tale all about addiction, hate, pain and how sometimes the right thing does not always look wonderful. Ian Troy is a Shinree magic-user who happened to be on really good terms with the Warrior Queen who led the Rellan Army. His views on the way the war should be fought differs somewhat t hers and in order to bring piece he wields an old relic that, while it does the job he intended, comes at a pretty hefty price. Years later and Ian is still reeling and still trying to run away from everything that he is. Honestly, I loved this, its so dark and grim and has an edge to it that is enthralling. The world-building is impressive and leads to something utterly magical. Would definitely recommend this book and look forward to reading more of the series. Schneider is an incredibly talented author.

I listened to the audiobook while following along with the ebook. I really enjoyed it, but I probably wouldn’t do it like that again. The Narrator has a very creative reading style and does an amazing job with the the different character voices!
I was drawn in by the synopsis, but found it hard to get into the book. I had to take a couple breaks and a few times paused the audiobook to reread some pages. With that being said, once getting halfway through the book, the Author definitely hit their stride and has me wanting more.
The Author does a fantastic job with main character, Ian Troy, and his struggle with the suffering and heartbreaks he continually faces. The world in which he lives and all the past and continuing pain, makes this book a heavier, darker toned read.
Although I have read many fantasy novels, the Author has a very unique take on magic, and how it works. I have high hopes for the next two books in the series and I look forward to reading more works by this author!

The author of this book has created a story about magic, adventure, action, and suspense. The world in which the fantasy takes place is well written. It has a unique magic system in place. It has unique characters throughout the story. Ian Troy is a character that just feel for him whether in a good way or a bad way depending on parts of the story. He is not your average main character that ends a war and becomes the hero. In order to end a war that has gone on long enough he uses The Crown of Stones which left only him alive. A guilt he has to live with knowing how many he massacred, including his Queen. He is left like a drunk trying to stay sober in the years following. But he cannot hide from the world forever and eventually gets caught back up into the adventure.
The story keep me turning the pages wanting to know what would become of Ian. It was my first read by this author and I enjoyed the experience this author’s story gave me. I am looking forward to reading more of this series and more from this author in the future.

A very different take on magic. The story had a really good flow and was easy to read. The world building and characterisation was very well developed and I was vested in Ian Troy as the MC. The author has presented a fantastical story filled with magic, action, drama and intrigue. I enjoyed the unique nature of the magic and it’s affects. The ending left me wanting to know more.

L. Schneider – Review by Kayla Octaviano
Ian Troy is a man that was raised to have no conscience and when his magic takes a tragic turn, he suddenly finds one. Unfortunately for him, he spends the next 10 years’ time on regret, shame, and suppressing his magic. With a past enemy rising to power seemingly overnight, he struggles with keeping his magic under control while trying to keep Rella, the country he was raised to protect, safe. As he begins the trek to save what he was raised to protect, he finds out that everything is not always as it seems. Much of his past is a lie and secrets are revealed! Will he figure out who he is and what he can do in time to save Rella?
I enjoyed this read. At times, I felt like there was a lot going on. I feel like the author did an excellent job in world building and weaving in its backstory throughout the story. I enjoyed how she wove together the relationships between characters. I appreciated how I didn’t always see the twists and turns coming, too. This was an excellent beginning to what promises to be a pretty epic trilogy! Looking forward to book 2!

This isn’t a genre I read often but I thought I would take a chance on this one. It took me a little while to get into it but once I did I was hooked. The author did a great job building a world full of fantasy, action, magic, and great characters. This book is different from any other fantasy books I have read before and that sets it apart and makes for good reading. Ian Troy has spent a very long time running away from his past but people haven’t forgotten what he did. There is certainly a high price to pay for using magic. We are taken on an adventure in this story and left wanting more. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.

L. Schneider – Review by Candida Hopper
The author has done it again!!! I’ve read another of her series, so I was really excited to sink my teeth into another of her fantasy series. With her story, and the narration this is easily my favorite audible. The narrator did an absolutely phenomenal job bringing this story to life. I haven’t ever heard anyone do quite so many different vocals, and do them WELL.
This dark, intense, and highly action packed story is gripping from beginning to end. I picked it up and simply couldn’t put it down. It was a little raunchier than I was expecting, so I had to take some breaks. The main character can be a bit of a rake. I would have liked to see a little more character development, which may be happening in his next adventure.
All in all, I can’t wait to read the second book and find out what happens next.

The author has done it again!!! I’ve read another of her series, so I was really excited to sink my teeth into another of her fantasy series.

Captivating with a shocking ending. Following Ian Troy as he navigates how to save the kingdom from war and other powerful shinrees all while battling his own demons. This is a story that will have you wondering what’s next. Initially I struggled to get into the book but it didn’t take long that I found myself not wanting to stop listening. The narration was fantastic and helped be to tell the story. The character development was strong especially when you think you’ve figured out a character and it all changes. I am definitely ready for the next bookin this saga.

L. Schneider – Review by Amanda Glaspie
Ian Troy is a magic “Shinree” soldier who has freedom in a world where anyone who weilds magic is drugged and enslaved due to the destruction they can cause. The magic cost in this particular story is death of anything with life near the spell casted. People… trees… grass… everything. Ian learns this devastating fact on a major scale when he discovers the crown of stones.
However there is so much more to Ian’s Story as you meet the characters surrounding him and journey into a deep dark tunnel of secrets of his birth, his heritage and all the lies and manipulation that have plagued his entire existence.
This is the first book of a series exploring multiple races at war with one another for the same reason… its all about control. it begs the question can the races find a way to get along?
I’m very intrigued as the final chapter left me with my jaw hanging open at its ending that I wasn’t expecting.

L. Schneider – Review by Tatyana Turley
This book was awesome and truly unique. The setup was clean, the magic system came with consequences and there is truly no “right side” of the war. It shows the complexity you find in a normal society. The book starts out a bit slow as you get to know the main character and get the setup for his history and what condition the world is in, but when it picks up, it is non-stop progression. There are also twists and turns I didn’t expect or see coming. The author definitely didn’t take it easy on these people! A great read for someone looking for an action-packed fantasy novel.
