The Crowns of Croswald by D.E. Night
4.0
After a good few months of reading Croswald I finally finished. I got this book from the author and wanted to say thanks!
It did take me a while to get into this book but once the plot really started to get going it was a really amazing read.
There were a lot of moments in the book where I could foretell what was going to happen and there were other moments where Ivy specifically never went back to what she was doing before she was interrupted (or otherwise), it was like the author also forgot what was happening. I really wish she had developed Ivy's relationship with her peers more, it was like she was constantly looking from the outside, like her relationship was being told not shown, specifically with Damaris and Fyn, it was like Ivy just suddenly made up her mind on what she thought of them. I know I would have loved to see her feelings for Fyn festering rather than just suddenly deciding how she felt about him, it came up out of nowhere.
I really enjoyed this book and it was kind of like the sibling of Harry Potter, there were so many similarities and you could see The Crowns of Croswald had stemmed from Harry Potter whilst it was still harbouring it's own plot line.
I still really enjoyed this book and I still love books where everything revolves around the protagonist (thats kind of what a protagonist is) as the 'chosen one'.
