DanTDM and Trayaurus set out to find the other crystals, but are hindered in their objective by their nemesis Denton who appears in many of Daniel's old Minecraft videos.

[6] Common Sense Media rated Trayaurus and the Enchanted Crystal three out of five stars saying that although the novel tells an "amusing tale" and spins a "classic good-vs.-evil" story, the action within the book is "sometimes hard to follow" and occasionally moves the plot along too slowly.

[7] GeekDad gave a generally favourable review as well, hailing its "straightforward, easy-to-follow story" but criticizing the art style: "Lines are often roughly sketched and colors lack finesse".

The website praised both the "outstanding" art style and "delightful" story, but did take issue with the fact that all characters are male: "I realize that most comics are read by boys but it would have been nice to see a female or two".
