A review by jazminrose
The Silver Crown by Robert C. O'Brien

3.0

I first read this book in grade four, after finding it by chance during a field trip. I was intrigued and mystified by it. It was intricate and delicious and complicated. Only ten years later, I could remember very little about it beyond the sense of wonder it had instilled. It was like a fever dream, half remembered. Another ten years pass, and here I am, I’ve found another copy of it. And… it was underwhelming. Perhaps I’m rating it unfairly because what could possibly live up to the foggy memory? It was enjoyable and fun, but it’s nothing special. Alas.
