The Crowns of Croswald by D.E. Night
3.0
I believe this was my first middle grade book read as an adult and I it makes me feel like maybe I’ve outgrowned this writing style ?
Don’t get me wrong, this wasn’t by any means a bad book but I wasn’t enthralled neither by the writing or the plot. I do however plan on gifting this book to my little sister because I think it would be the perfect book to introduce someone to fantasy books.
The story line was interesting, the magic system and boarding school vibe and of course the « chosen » trope really can’t miss. Ivy is lovely heroine and it’s easy to relate to her and get impetuses with her on journey.
At the end of the day I think it’s a perfect book for it’s targeted audience so I’d recommend if you want to gift it to someone younger or if you feel in the mood to feel nostalgic about your own childhood
