by D.E. Night
Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. Thanks! All opinions are my own.
Book: The Crowns of Croswald
Author: D.E. Night
Book Series: The Crowns of Croswald Book 1
Rating: 3/5
Recommended For...: magic lovers, HP lovers
Publication Date: July 21, 2017
Genre: MG Fantasy
Recommended Age: can’t recommend, DNF-ed

Synopsis: In Croswald, the only thing more powerful than dark magic is one secret…
For sixteen years Ivy Lovely has been hidden behind an enchanted boundary that separates the mundane from the magical. When Ivy crosses the border, her powers awaken. Curiosity leads her crashing through a series of adventures at the Halls of Ivy, a school where students learn to master their magical blood and the power of Croswald’s mysterious gems. When Ivy’s magic––and her life––is threatened by the Dark Queen, she scrambles to unearth her history and save Croswald before the truth is swept away forever.
Review: I had to DNF this read. This book is heavily *HEAVILY* inspired by Harry Potter and there are a lot of HP elements in it and because of the current climate with JK Rowling I’m not feeling very magical lately. The book also feels like there’s too much in it and it doesn’t have an easy reading feel to it. I will come back to this book in the future, but for now I can’t read it.
Verdict: It’s a great book, but not for me at the moment.
