The finale of this amazing middle-grade series comes out in May(13th April on the author's website DENight.com), and I can't be any more excited for people to finally read how it all ends. I am thankful to the amazing author D.E. Night and StoriesUntold Press for sending me the proof copy of 'The War of the Woods'.
For those of you, who haven't read the series or are new to the Croswald world, I've reviewed book 1 here, which explains a bit into the world and the story. Those who have read the series, you guys are my people.
So as I said before, The War of the woods is the finale to Ivy's story and the war between the evil Queen and Ivy. Ivy's trying to find the last bit of Kindred stone in order to defeat the Evil Queen, whose powers are growing by the day. Will she defeat her? And what will be the cost...?
To be honest, of all the 4 books in the series, I enjoyed book 4 the most. It has a lot of adventure from the very start. There's always one or the other thing happening (which I like in a book). You will not get bored at any point as there's so much happening throughout.
As always, you can expect a lot of magical elements which will astonish you (like the Dwarflin). I have loved and enjoyed the magical elements in all the books and am a big fan of D.E. Night's world-building.
The QQC members and my dear dragon (Humboldt) were as always just the perfect gang. When reading a story, I always feel that it's important to have a great MC, but it's more important to have much more amazing side characters, as they bring so much more flavor to the story. Crowns of Croswald wouldn't disappoint you in that sense. All the side characters have unique and amazing personalities (Rebecca being my favorite).
The relationship between Fyn and Ivy shifts in the story, which was totally unexpected for me. I was hoping and rooting for them from the start, but the ending was surprising (in a good way).
Talking about the ending, the main battle between Ivy and Evil Queen was really good. I love the twist of "ending things where it all started" (minor spoiler hint :P).
Needless to say, book 4 was really the perfect ending to the series, and I hope to read more about Ivy's adventures and more books set in the same world in the future.
If you haven't read the series yet, you should definitely check it out. I have teamed up with the amazing author to giveaway the complete series to 1 lucky winner (open Internationally). More details in the tweet below:
