The Crowns of Croswald by D.E. Night

*I won this book in a GoodReads Giveaway*
This book was not quite what I was expecting. It definitely Harry Potter inspired, but the writing was whimsical and fast-paced in a way that honestly made the book hard to follow.
There's certainly interesting things going on in this book - but maybe it's too much? It touches on all kinds of interesting creatures and magic - but it's always only at a surface level and before you have time to even process what little information you were given, it's on to the next thing. It just didn't have enough explanation to work for me totally. None of the characters quite felt real - or had their personalities explained in a way that their actions made sense. I couldn't get a handle on the pacing either.
Regardless, I'm interested enough to read the next book (which I also won - luck is with me!).
