jenneth08 's review for:

The Crowns of Croswald by D.E. Night
4.0

I struggled with this book initially which is why I can't give it 5 stars. It took me a while to get into it and I don't know if it was a world building issue or not.

However that might just be mirroring our main character as she is thrown into an unexpected world, so we are almost learning as she is.

But once I had a grasp in the world and the terms, I loved it and if I wasn't sleeping I was reading this book.

This book follows a young girl called Ivy Lovely, and orphan, who spends her days as a maid. One day after a rather unfortunate incident in the kitchen, she leaves and in doing so sets herself in the road for many adventures and revelations.

One of the things that I love most about this book is the fact that wands are not the instrument through which magic is used, oh no, it's quills.

Yes, quills.

And I think all of us here know how truly magical writing implements are.

Thank you to NetGalley and Stories Untold Press for giving me this free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I cannot wait to read the next book and find out what happens next.
