The Red Scrolls of Magic Crossword Puzzle
I am sending every apology for being over a week late on my crossword puzzle! It is in part that I am still having slight issues with my Six of Crows puzzle and partly because my scanner is uncooperative, and in part that I had to borrow someone else’s computer to finally scan this (thanks mom!). But I will make every effort to have the next puzzle up on Monday!
Now to The Red Scrolls of Magic by Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu. If you are a Shadowhunter Chronicles person, I hope you are reading this series (Book 2, The Lost Book of White, is out September 1st, the day my thesis is due) or if you just want a fun, action-packed urban fantasy romp across Europe. I am bananas excited for the next book. Making this crossword puzzle was both an excellent refresher on the events of The Red Scrolls of Magic and a way to get incredibly excited for book two!
If you are a big Shadowhunter Chronicles fan, I have a link to all the related puzzles I have made so far! I have aspirations to get to them all eventually.
The last puzzle was for Susan Dennard’s Truthwitch, and you can find a link to the answer sheet right here!
The next puzzle is for Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo and you can find that here, it includes an answer sheet to this puzzle. And here is a form if you have any requests.
