Critique Based On Books The Crowfield Curse (Crowfield Abbey #1)

This book caught my eye at the library with its GORGEOUS cover: the silhouettes stand out starkly against the fairy-tale-ish castle in the background, the 'splashes' of snow and the character's posture and the flow of the clothes do a great job of creating the illusion of movement, and the red foil is a wonderful touch that could easily have been overused, but wasn't.And... I loved it! What a wonderful surprise.I think what I liked best about it was that you had a 'chosen one' story without a



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 of

William was just settling into his life working at Crowfield Abbey when he finds a wounded hob. William takes the hob back to the abbey and secretly treats the hob. Because William can see the hob, he discovers he has the gift of Sightthe ability to see or sense fay creatures. With this gift, William senses a great evil following two visitors to the abbey: Master Jacobus Bonean immortal cursed by the Dark King to be a leperand Shadloka fay warrior and servant to Master Bone. These men have come

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

A medieval mystery of sorts for kids (with a bit of magic thrown in), The Crowfield Curse is a wonderful adventure.Set in 1347, the story follows monks' apprentice, William, as he finds himself caught up in a battle between light and dark forces that seem to surround the abbey where he lives. After finding a hobgoblin caught in a trap, Will's eyes are opened to the magical creatures around him. There are several "fay" creatures, old pagan gods, witches and healers, and a secret buried deep in

So far, so good. I bought this book for my niece for Christmas after seeing someone book-talk it at a librarian training this fall, so I decided to read it for myself. I like the mix of history and the supernatural, this would appeal to boys for sure!Finished this over the weekend . . .LOVED IT! I hope the author writes more, I really liked the historical aspect of it, including life in a 14th Century Abbey, and the character of Will was very appealing. Good read!
