I’m so happy to finally share with you the endpaper I created back in May 2025 of La Tour d’Avalon – L’Académie des Espions Feys 1 by @cn_crawford for @editions_bookmark ✨
I had so much fun imagining the atmosphere of this world — especially playing with the train and the castle 🏰🚂 It’s always such a joy to dive into new stories and bring little pieces of them to life on paper.
Avalon Tower Summary Heart-Pounding Fantasy Secrets Revealed!
Unlock Avalon Tower Secrets: My Thrilling Deep Dive into This Epic Fantasy by C.N. Crawford
Okay, let’s get real. Ever felt completely out of your depth? Like you were just shelving books one minute, and the next, you’re thrust into a secret war against magical beings? That’s exactly where Nia Melisende finds herself in Avalon Tower by C.N. Crawford and Alex Rivers, and honestly, her journey blew…
I am a die hard C.N. Crawford fan and can’t imagine her writing a book that would ever deserve anything less, she is just that awesome!
The Tower of Avalon is rich in Characters who draw you in and make you want to dig deeper into the story! There is a lots of adventure, action, romance, and a fey threat to the humans. There is Demi Fey with supernatural abilities of whom the Fey hate and want to exterminate!
A terrible misunderstanding dealing with the past is cleared up between the 2main characters, and a forbidden love begins to grow.
The ending leaves you with more than one unbelievable cliffy that has to be settled! I have to know what happened to Raphael, and then what happened to Nia after she got the shock that was the final cliff hanger!
I’m really looking forward to the next installment of this series, and if it follows the path of Ms Crawfor’s previous work, it will be another exemplary series worth the wait!!
This sequel did indeed deliver and made me impatient for what's about the happen next. Can I also say that the writing was freaking compelling? IT WAS 🤌🏽
I think this novel is more focused on the new romance, I would say I did enjoy the developments, especially the relationship going on here. It really is something to be anticipated as the story goes on.
Nia, I love her developments and as an fmc and at the same time is worried about her well-being. What also made me wonder more about her powers is that I would really love it if the book would explore more about it. It feels like there's a little less explanation regarding it.
Talan. He's charismatic, magnetic, mysterious, and all things unholy. I want him for myself (I'm so sorry 🙈). He's just so appealing to me, and the fact that the book kind of left me vague in his true intentions or motivations. Is he the villain?
The romance going on with Nia and Talan 🤚🏽 I AM INVESTED. I am really excited about the next book.
The other characters, on the other hand, the new ones and old ones, I wish we get to see more of them here and not just some kind of fleeting moments, but still they endeared themselves to me and I was also sad about what happened towards the end.
Also bye bye Raphael.
With that being said, Vale Of Dreams is a little slow paced. The plot seems to be slow as well, in my opinion, and a little bit of world building along the way. There's still things and plot points left to be explored, I think. More political intrigue as well, in my opinion, but was overshadowed with the character build-ups. Even though that's the case, a lot of things still happened revolving around the characters.
Overall, this was a solid read for me. Characters are definitely the strength of this novel, and at the same time, the lore revolves around the story in general. I enjoyed it so much ✨️ I am so eager to read the next one 🫶.
