A review by literaryluxe
Crossbones by Kimberly Vale

3.0

This book has a lot of potential. The idea behind the story was really interesting, but I don't feel like it was thorough enough. There were several things that could have been elaborated on but seemed like they were just brushed aside - especially with the magic system and world-building. The characters were nicely done and it was a fun read overall, but I think it may be a tad bit on the younger YA side. This is something I think younger YA readers would enjoy because it's a light and easy read. If you're an upper YA reader or even one who like YA book that any age group can enjoy, then this one may miss its mark. Overall it's a good story and I would likely read the sequel. Plus - the cover is beautiful!
