A review by ophelia__library
The Crowns of Croswald by D.E. Night

4.0

Any kid reading this book will want to move to that magical place, meet the characters and enter that school.

I loved following Ivy in her adventures, meeting the characters, discovering magic. It felt so nice entering a new magical world and it reads very easily and I really enjoyed the main character being a strong, adventurous young girl ready to take action and think for herself, we definitely need more of these strong female figures for young readers. The only thing I would say is that I persuaded myself that the characters were younger (10ish) that they truly are (16) but that didn't stop me from enjoying the ride and wondering what magic would escape from the following pages.

If like me you appreciate a story with a strong world building that book won't disappoint. The places, the magic system, the books, the potions, send me straight into the story and I was ready to wander the library, visit the tomes, prepare some potions, try my luck with the glanageries.

Definitely will read the rest of the adventures so thank you very much D.E. Night, the publisher Stories Untold and Netgalley for the chance to read this book for free.
