The Fate of the Kingdom Awaits the Cast of Stones
In the backwater village of Callowford, roustabout Errol Stone is enlisted by a church messenger arriving with urgent missives for the hermit priest in the hills. Eager for coin, Errol agrees to what he thinks will be an easy task, but soon finds himself hunted by deadly assassins. Forced to flee with the priest and a small band of travelers, Errol soon learns he's joined a quest that could change the fate of his kingdom.
Protected for millennia by the heirs of the first king, the kingdom's dynasty nears its end and the selection of the new king begins--but in secret and shadow. As danger mounts, Errol must leave behind the stains and griefs of the past, learn to fight, and discover who is hunting him and his companions and how far they will go to stop the reading of the stones.

Judge About Books A Cast of Stones (The Staff and the Sword #1)

Note: I received an ARC of this book from the LibraryThing Early Reviewers Program.I enjoyed this book! Mr. Carr is a very talented writer. The story was imaginative and kept a nice pace, not too slow and not too fast and an easy read. The story line was easy to follow maybe a little too easy (not really any surprises and was a little predictable). I was a little worried after receiving the book, reading that Mr. Carr was a member of a Christian writing group and that it was listed as a

On occasion I have the urge to gush over-much. On this particular occasion, I'm nervous of throwing so much confetti about this book that it looks promotional instead of critical. I shall attempt to sound dignified, but really... when I happen upon a book like this, it's like discovering a stash of chocolate. There's some sqee-ing.*ahem*I like the writing style. There's no extra words. There's just the exact amount of words necessary to portray the landscape as touchable and the characters... as

This trilogy is my favorite trilogy of all time (at least, when it comes to books.) It is also my third favorite series of all time, so obviously on this reread I would give this book 5 stars and tell you why. When I first heard of A Cast of Stones I pictured it as a typical Medieval fantasy book (which is in some ways) and thus wasn't super into reading it. BUT it was free on iBooks so I picked it up and well...the rest is history. First are some minor issues I have with the story despite my

I did not expect to enjoy A Cast of Stones as much as I did. I tried reading this a while ago and couldn't get into it, so I set it aside. I decided to try it again recently and this time around I really enjoyed it. Once I got a little bit into the story, I was intrigued and kept wanting to read more. I thought the fantasy world was written very well. I felt like the characters and setting were real and believable. The plot was interesting and held my attention. All in all, I liked A Cast of

Well... this book was just confusing. I would be following along fine, and then I would feel like someone had skipped ahead one minute and expected me to still know what was going on. I decided to read something else.

UpdateI've finished this trilogy today and decided to post my full review of all 3 books here (spoiler free) since this is where it all started. WOW! WOW! And WOW! This is one of the best trilogies I've ever read. It's definitely in my top 3. I even decided to put a new category in my bookshelves for "favorite trilogies" just because of this book. People! You need to trust me and read this. Why?Because it has everything a reader of fantasy/fiction loves. (Well, at least for me) Mature writing.

A little over halfway through the book I realized I was going to be upset at the end. Why? Because this was only book one of the series. Meaning things werent going to be completely resolved. To which I say Boo!Reason #895 why I like to wait until a series is complete before I start it. I can be impatient on occasion and waiting isnt really one of my gifts. Just ask my parents how awesome road trips were with me in the back seat. And now I have to wait for-ev-er until the next one comes out.
