Summary:
Morrigan Crow is brought up believing she is cursed, but when a stranger turns up and rescues her from her fate, she begins a new set of challenges at the Wundrous Society in the secret realm of Nevermoor.

My notes:
This is one of my favourite books. It is cosy and nice and the characters are awesome. I also love the city of Nevermoor with the talking animals, the Hotel Deucalion and the tricksy lanes.

Book notes and screen notes:
There are three books in this series: Nevermoor, Wundersmith and Hollowpox. A fourth, Silverborn, is to be released soon. It is also going to be made into a movie.

Yep, really liked it. Lots of familiar tropes but fabulous world-building and excellently plotted and paced. Great characters. Looking forward to guzzling the rest of the series as a comfort read. ( )

A great start to the Nevermoor trilogy. i love that we jump right into the story with Morrigan's life about to end an the adventure is non-stop from there.

Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

This book had some Time Lord vibes, with the main character being whisked off to a magical realm full of wonder and giant talking cats and a Hotel that changes your room while you sleep. The characters were delightful and the adventure was high. There is a graveyard zombie chase and the bad guy a mass murder, but not much explanation or detail about what that entails. ( )

I really enjoyed this book. It was such a prefect middle grade adventure with a mix of fantasy and magic. I really was captivated by the world building and also the characters. I thought the "tasks" kept the plot to be super fast pace and engaging It was such a fun novel to read and hard to put down. I enjoyed the characters alot and loved the developing the "trio of characters that we met. The ending was a tad rushed but Overall, I really loved the book and hope to read book 2 soon!
