This book brought me back to my younger years when my imagination was at its best. The author\u2019s magical world includes fairies, kings\/queens, princes, ogres, underworld creatures, laws of light, crystals, and much more. <\/span><\/p>\n

The story is set in a small town called Galvin Colve. In the woods called Castle Forest lies a majestic Crystal Kingdom that is hidden from human kind. Inside the Crystal Kingdom are advanced beings who have unfastened the truths of the universe. They are crystal fairies who call themselves Crysnix. The Crysnix grant wishes for humans in trouble and try to guide them in the right direction while the dark side tries to create chaos. This story has celebration, love, tragedy, and war. Everything that makes a great story.<\/span><\/p>\n

I felt young and happy while reading this book. It has \u201cteachable\u201d moments interlaced with the story which I thought was a great aspect. It\u2019s about love, working together and helping one another mixed with magic and emotion. This book actually helped me realize how caught up I have been in my adult life that I had forgotten my whimsical creative side of me and I miss that. <\/span><\/p>\n

I believe this book is good for children and adults. It was an easy read. I loved the fact that the author used quotes in the beginning of the book as well as in front of each chapter. The quote that hit home most for me was:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Do not lose hold of your dreams or aspirations. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

For if you do, you may still exist but you have cease to live.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

-Henry David Thoreau<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

At times, I wish there was more detailed explanation involved, but not enough for me not to enjoy the adventure this book brought me on. <\/span><\/p>\n
