Corryn’s Stone by T.L. Howard is an enjoyable fantasy novel with a complex and intriguing plot line. The author did a fantastic job of creating a world and a system of magic and hierarchy that drew me into the story. The only real downfalls to the story were the numerous character titles that were sometimes confusing and tedious to read, and I thought some of the dialogue was unrealistic because it was too polite and artificial. However, the plot had plenty of twists that kept me riveted, and the world was complex and captivating. I loved the imagery throughout the story; I was easily able to visualize the world and the magical beings as I was reading it. I really enjoyed the world T.L. Howard created, and I would recommend Corryn’s Stone for a good fantasy read.

Corryn's Stone is an epic fantasy written by T.L. Howard. The land is quiet after the last major war caused by the maddened Rasmun whose mind had been overwhelmed by the occupants of the Tome of Antistes, the Aeyrebis, the lost souls. Rasmun was healed and became the High Priest of Orsa, and the Tome was safely stored away. Rasmun sought to unite the fundamentalist branch of his faith, the Expurgo Grega, with the more mainstream Custodia sect and had invited the scholar Faldyn to become Lord High Chancellor as part of that unifying plan. Rasmun was unaware of Faldyn's continued zealotry and determination to unleash the destructive power of the Aeyrebis to cleanse the world of the stench of the infidel. Mirah is the Chosen One and leader of the province of Arus. She, her husband, the Lord Commander, and their allies must find a way to stop Faldyn and the Aeyrebis from destroying their world.

The author creates a world with a complex mythological base and a society that is guided by leaders chosen by gods and goddesses. Corryn's Stone takes the reader on a fantastical journey as the forces of light race against time and evil, and encounter hostile forces and supernatural beings at every turn. Howard paints vivid descriptions of the lands both in their prime and as they decay under the influence of the Aeyrebis. Her characters are tortured and very human, both the evil Faldyn and the gallant companions on Mirah's quest to save the world. While epic fantasy fans who enjoy action and adventure tales filled with swords and sorcery may find Corryn's Stone a bit ethereal for their tastes, this inspirational quest fantasy should please many readers.

Corryn’s Stone by T.L. Howard is an entertaining fantasy novel. The main character, Mirah, leader of Decera, was given the responsibility of saving the world. To her dismay, she was informed by Rasmun that the mythical box containing evil souls - called the Aeyrebis - was actually stolen from a monastery. The thief was Rasmun’s trusted friend, Lord Faldyn. This Aeyrebis has the capacity to totally annihilate the world with its magical powers. Unfortunately, it could also make the owner insane over a period of time. This occurred previously when Rasmun, High Priest of Orsa, was in control of the Aeyrebis. Due to the extensive powers it wielded, Rasmun had sealed it in the monastery. Mirah - also called the Chosen of Deceris - set out with her husband Roenin and her entourage to hunt down Lord Faldyn. Accompanied by Rasmun, Mirah began the long journey. Along the way, Mirah discovered that a second box existed, called the Aetheryal. This contained good spirits. The two boxes now had to be secured and taken to the Holy Mountain and the souls released into the Captus Lapis or Corryn’s Stone.

Corryn’s Stone is an interesting book. It thoroughly examines the theme of good versus evil. The many references to darkness and light serve to enhance this relevant theme. The language used is semi-formal to reflect the status of the main characters. I love the descriptive detail applied to the cities in the novel. I also love the fact that the author chose a female as the heroine. Most books of this genre usually have males as the outright leaders. I love the way in which author T.L. Howard fully developed the main character. Her thirst for knowledge was identified as well as her morality. She was humble enough to bow to a higher power. Her feminine side was also highlighted along with her battle-ready acumen. The contrast between the main characters is very enthralling. It encourages the reader to continue reading at full speed. The author has done an excellent job in making the storyline engaging and inspiring. The pace was a bit slow at the beginning of the book, but it picked up as the action unfolded. Corryn’s Stone is a very good novel and I recommend it to all readers.

Corryn’s Stone is a wonderful mystical story by T.L. Howard. It’s difficult to put this book aside once you've started reading. The author writes very well and knows how to captivate an audience. I was introduced to another realm of magic through its unique plot and setting. It is nicely descriptive and the characters displayed varying strengths and emotional conflicts which I found interesting. The special powers that some possessed reminded me of those in Lord of the Rings, and T.L. Howard created the right atmosphere to make me visualize everything which occurred. When I had guessed what was coming next, the author surprised me with a few twists which I would not have thought possible, so that made the book more entertaining.
