A review by rootedreader
The Crowns of Croswald by D.E. Night

3.0

I received a copy of this via NetGalley in exchange for a review.

The first in the series follows the main character Ivy as she is swept away from her current life to a school of magic. She learns about her new life, makes friends, and gets into a series of mishaps that eventual lead to her learning about her past.

Readers of fantasy, magical worlds, and mischief will enjoy this.

Overall, a decent fantasy read for middle school aged readers. I likely would have enjoyed more if I were younger. I really enjoyed the female lead and the world the author created. The main thing I didn't like was how similar it seems to the Harry Potter world. The writing is also sometimes confusing or goes from different peoples points of view quickly. I am interested in how the series continues.
