The Crowns of Croswald

I got this in a giveaway for an honest review and I've put that off for long enough.

It was a mess.

The premise was interesting, I mean who doesn't like magic schools?? The plot and characters were pretty standard for the genre, but they worked alright. The problem was the execution. Things jumped around too quickly with scenes coming out of nowhere that contributed nothing to the story, while others that should have been expanded on were glossed over entirely.

It feels like this needed a few more rounds of editing to pull everything into place. It's a shame because this book really seemed like it had a lot going for it.
