Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog! Today is my stop in the “The Witch, The sword and the Cursed Knights” Blog Tour and I have a review plus a spotify playlist for you.

And now without further ado, let’s start with this post.

Synopsis:
Twelve-year-old Ellie can’t help that she’s a witch, the most hated member of society. Determined to prove her worth and eschew her heritage, Ellie applies to the Fairy Godmother Academy—her
golden ticket to societal acceptance. But Ellie’s dreams are squashed when she receives the dreaded draft letter to serve as a knight of King Arthur’s legendary Round Table. She can get out of the draft—but only if she saves a lost cause.
Enter Caedmon, a boy from Wisconsin struggling with the death of his best friend. He first dismisses the draft as ridiculous; magic can’t possibly exist. But when Merlin’s ancient magic foretells his family’s death if he doesn’t follow through, he travels to the knights’ castle, where he learns of a wicked curse leeching the knights of their power.
To break the curse, Ellie and Caedmon must pass a series of deathly trials and reforge the lost,
shattered sword of Excalibur. And unless Ellie accepts her witch magic and Caedmon rises to become the knight he’s meant to be, they will both fail—and the world will fall to the same darkness that brought King Arthur and Camelot to ruin.

Title – The Witch, the Sword and the Cursed Knights

Author – Alexandria Rogers

Genre – Middle Grade Fantasy

Release date – February 8th, 2022

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

A few months ago, I’ve started reading MG again and I start to fall in love with that genre. Especially the ones with magical boarding schools like this one here.

I loved the worldbuilding and the writing style. It was magical and beautiful. We see everything through Ellie’s and Caedmons eyes and follow them on their little journey full of unknown beasts and “quests”. We learn about new realms and Fairy Godmothers which is amazing and will for sure, make kids fall in love with this story.

However, the feeling of being lost became overwhelming at some points. There was too much happening at the same time and I wasn’t able to follow anymore. Unfortunately, this did influence me into rating this MG novel only 3 1/2 stars instead of more.

Nevertheless, I still think that this novel is great for children and older readers who just want to escape from reality and spend a good amount of time in another world. A world that is full of adventures, magic and wickedness.
