Review

"Action Packed and Riveting!" by Diane Donovan for Midwest Book Reviews.
The Stone of Wisdom is the fourth book in the Centaur Chronicles series and continues the saga of Carling and her companions, who seek protection from the evil Heilodius Centaurs who stalk them. They have fled for home and have already fought and won a deadly battle with one band of Centaurs, but their encounters become even more dangerous when other roving bands try to end their lives.

In keeping with Evans' past books, a quest for another powerful stone is involved in an effort to complete a Silver Breastplate, and a wizard re-enters the picture to offer much-needed magical assistance. Despite the nature of their quest and many friends (both good Centaurs and other fairy-world beings), Carling once again finds herself at a disadvantage and must summon every ounce of courage and resources to locate the Stone of Wisdom while preserving her life and those of her loyal companions.

Foe Xanbar attempts to defend his rule from a threat by teen Duende Carling and her efforts to become the Queen of Crystonia, but the real question is what will happen when Carling's breastplate is complete and she enters the next phase of her mission: to take the throne and rule Crystonia. Events and confrontations are fast-paced and firmly rooted in a fantasy world replete with all manner of mystical friends and enemies.

The result is a powerful quest story best appreciated by prior fans of the 'Stones' series (likely to be young adult readers, but which also should include quite a few adults who like Tolkien-like settings and epic sagas). These audiences receive clashes, confrontations, the story of a plucky girl's courage in facing down formidable adversaries, and a consideration of the kind of loyalty that leads others to make supreme sacrifices supporting her ultimate goals.

Action-packed, riveting, and steeped in the atmosphere so carefully built in prior books in the series, The Stone of Wisdom is a fine conclusion to a sweeping epic fantasy that offers some unexpected twists and turns as Carling finally comes into her powers.

I am a graduate of Oregon State University and a lifelong equestrian. I am also a former teacher at the secondary school level. My husband, Tom, and I have 5 wonderful children and live in Colorado with our three horses and two standard poodles. I have always loved writing and using my imagination to create stories and characters. Many of my books are about horses...from the non-fiction equestrian trail guide books titled "Riding Colorado", "Riding Colorado II" and "Riding Colorado III" to my fantasy stories. The Mist Trilogy which is about the noble and great horses that become unicorns in the after-life is comprised of "Behind the Mist", "Mists of Darkness" and "The Rising Mist". I am also the proud recipient of the first place award in the Purple Dragonfly Book Awards for my allegory of the revolutionary war titled "North Mystic".

I have known and loved many noble and great horses in my life so I also decided to start a blog about them. You can learn about famous and loved horses at www.themisttrilogy.blogspot.com. I love riding on trails in the beautiful Colorado mountains and competing in Dressage. So, if I am not sitting at my computer writing a new story, you can find me sitting in a saddle!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great end to a great story-read all four!

    I'm not a young adult unfortunately, but I thoroughly enjoyed this whole series by M.J. Evans!! Like watching a good movie, I'm sorry to have reached the end. Ms. Evan's provides wonderful descriptions of characters and landscapes, transporting the reader into the land of Crystonia and all of its creatures! As the main character and her friends go about collecting each of the four stones many twists and turns occur in their endeavors. Lots if good guys and not so good guys appear. What I love about all of M.J. Evans' books is that there are always life lessons imparted to the reader, which make them a great gift to young readers! Be sure to start your adventure with Book 1, The Stone of Mercy, to get to know the characters, the mission and the challenges ahead in each of the four books! I hope you love them as much as I did!

    Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020
    Format: Paperback
    I bought this book thinking it was a bit more adult.

    It fits very nicely in the YA category.
    I was expecting something a little more mature. However, the writing is solid, the pacing is good and the world building is fantastic.

    I am a fan of the genre, so I enjoyed it. I was just expecting something a little different.

    That being said - I would highly recommend it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great ending to a wonderful series
    Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2019
    Format: Kindle
    Tiny half-human/half-fairy Carling knows that collecting the fourth and greatest stone—the Stone of Wisdom—will be no easy challenge. Gathering the earlier stones of Mercy, Courage, and Integrity was difficult, but she managed the tasks, with the help of her friends and other inhabitants of the land of Crystonia. Well on her way to becoming the Queen of Crystonia—a right that will be proven by having all four stones in her silver breastplate.

    But now the evil Heilodius centaurs are only part of Carling’s problem, as an evil Wizard named Xanbar has returned to claim Crystonia’s throne. He has gathered the Heilodius centaurs, along with ogres and other evil creatures to fight against Carling and her friends. Carling will need more than just her friends to win this battle.

    Never overt, the symbolism of the four virtues represented as stones in these novels leaves readers with the knowledge that striving for a goal is never easy, but if they attain these virtues, their goals will be much closer.

    Young readers who love fantasy will enjoy this series of books and The Stone of Wisdom, in particular, as it brings the culmination of the rest in a tightly wrought conclusion that satisfies.

    I was expecting something like the Chronicles of Narnia when I opened this book, but it sets itself apart from its predecessors with different characters and style. This book is definitely action-packed, and it doesn’t drag at all. Once I started, I kept turning pages until the end. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in fantasy stories - and centaurs!

    I was given this book, so I'm coming in at the end of what appears to be an impressive series. Even though I hadn't read books 1-3 yet, I was able to jump right into this one and enjoy it nonetheless. The world-building was phenomenal, and I will be sure to start back from book one to see how this wonderful story got to this point. Highly recommended.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2020
    Format: Paperback
    The Stone of Wisdom finds our heroes on the move, doing what they do best. I really like the premise, having a fantasy book led by one the fantasy creatures instead of humans, it really is a nice turn. The writing is top notch. You lose track of time in the Centaur Chronicles, and that is one of the best things you can say about a book series.
