A lot of fantasy novels I've read are often set in European castles and hovels, so The Crowfield Curse's setting of an abbey was definitely a surprise. Will, an apprentice who works for a group of monks, is an orphan and more of a servant than an apprentice, often mistreated and made to do a lot of physical labour. Luckily, he finds his dismal life during one icy winter getting much more interesting when he rescues a strange creature and soon finds his little world occupied by a variety of4.5 starsI am surprised by how much I enjoyed this book! It had been on my to-read list for quite some time, and when I finally picked it up, I expected something slightly juvenile. I am very happy to say, that this novel was just wonderful!It is set in 1347 in a Medieval Abbey in England. Will, our fourteen-year-old protagonist, encounters a magical creature in the forest, and when two mysterious strangers arrive at the abbey, dark forces seem to have entered his world.Will was a great
I really love this book - lucid writing, fantastic (in all senses of the word) characters, scary suspense, unusual magic and danger. The story unfolds through the eyes of Will, an orphaned abbey servant, who finds unexpected friends through his own good actions, but those actions also cause him to become embroiled in ancient, magical, dark mysteries. I love that some characters are neither good nor evil, just mysterious and dangerous and run with Will through the story; that characters who
I am not that good with words when it comes to books that I totally adore, so I drew a picture: Source: http://gerynh.tumblr.com/post/1070469...This book might be for you if you:- enjoy mystery, horror and fantasy perfectly blended together!- don't get spooked easily ;) some scenes are pretty intense... - don't mind unpredictable story and characters that will keep you guessing what their true motives are until the very end.- love reading about unusual creatures, the dark and light fae and an
Will is a very lucky person to have a flute. I really wanted a flute, but I never could get my hands on one. Until one day when I accidentally got one stuck in my throat; I think part of it is still there, sometimes I feel it at night. But Will will be good at playing it, I can tell from his personality. It seems like a hobby he would really enjoy. I'm really glad he got that flute and I hope he has fun playing it, he deserves it.
I loved this book and it goes right onto my shelf of books I reread often. The author's seemingly effortless (no great writing is effortless, of course) and balanced handling of the fey and the human worlds' interweaving/influence was a delight. The lightest and surest touch. I loved the hob. And all the characters had enviable dimension. I so hope the sequel is as well accomplished. Thank you, Ms. Walsh for an absolutely enchanted read:) ps.I am lending my copy to another reader who I know will
Some very good things here. The setting, for one. Solidly medieval fantasy is unusual in books aimed at middle grade and young adult audiences. And Walsh has obviously done a lot of research into life in a medieval monastery. Better yet, she doesn't let her enthusiasm for the period get away from her. I've read too many books by authors who get so enthused with what their research has uncovered that they forget they're writing a novel. The mythology she builds has enough elements to make
