The Crowns of Croswald

The Crowns of Croswald is a great middle grade read for those who love magic, adventure, and mystical creatures.

I enjoyed the feel of the book! D.E. Night crafted this world that just sucks you with atmosphere and gives you a character to rally behind.

If you enjoy reading Nevermoor, you'll find a similar love for this book. Think Nevermoor but with an emphasis on words, ink, and writing.

Like I stated I totally enjoyed this book! I loved the writing! There were some predictable plot points and twists but still I think it is a great read for all ages.

I wasn't a fan of how the romance between Ivy and Fyn came about. Not that it seemed super forced but more like we missed a few interactions that would have made it more acceptable at the end. It was cute and I knew from the moment Ivy ran into him that he was gonna be the main love interest but I wish they got more screen time.

You get the feel that Ivy is the missing princess and I think thats the point with the school being called the Halls of Ivy and I enjoyed watching Ivy find out that too.

What I really love about this book is the magic behind writing and words. Scrivenists are so cool! I loved that scrivenists become tomes when they die. I loved the whole afterlife aspect. As a lover of books and writing I can appreciate it so much!
