Ivy Lovely is a simple girl who knows not of her lineage of magic and glory. The Crowns of Croswald takes us along as Ivy is thrown into an adventure to discover who she is, her magic and all the challenges of dark magic that await her. Once Ivy crosses the boundary that sonic booms her into an enchanted world of magic, her powers come to life and reveal a girl who has been hidden away for a reason.
The Crowns of Croswald swallowed me whole as soon as I started the first chapter. As a fan of the Harry Potter series I was reluctant to want to fall in love with another story of magic mixed with the enchanting halls of a school, but this story was different. I love how the author builds an entire world into the mind of the reader, making it quite easy for the reader to create a move-like sequence of events while progressing through the story. The descriptions and details paint a beautiful scene into every event that takes place and recalling events becomes simple.
This story has been receiving rave reviews on sites such as Amazon.com and GoodReads.com with reviewers calling this the best story they read the entire summer, and a read that transcends all age groups. I fell in love with this story so much so that I started following the author on Instagram in anticipation of the release date to the second book in the series. Once finishing The Crowns of Croswald you know that there will be a book 2 and luckily for us, it will be releasing soon!
Check out the author's website for more information and a beautiful leap into the world of Croswald. It is probably the most beautiful website I've ever seen! www.denight.com
