The fantasy elements are quite interesting too. Walsh did a great job at immersing the historical readers in the setting, without overloading the audience with details. The appendixes provide definition for potentially unfamiliar medieval terms, as well as an explanation of the monks daily timeline. She even provided a couple of appendixes in the back if the book. I really appreciated how the author took time to include accurate historical details. One of it’s strongest elements is the medieval setting, an isolated English Abbey in 1347. The Crowfied Curse is the first in a planned historical fantasy series. Then a strange man and his servant arrives at the Abbey, and their presence brings to light a curse which has plagued the Abbey for a hundred years. Although he is unfamiliar with such strange creatures, William cannot stand the sight of another in pain, so he agrees to take him back to a trusted confidant at the Abbey for treatment. William’s life becomes more interesting when he comes across an injured Hob in the forest. He is sent to live at Crowfield Abbey, where the monks provide food to eat and a place to sleep in return for hard labor. After his family’s mill burns down, William finds himself the only survivor.
