Ilustration To Books The Trials of Morrigan Crow (Nevermoor #1)
A cursed girl escapes death and finds herself in a magical world - but is then tested beyond her wildest imagination Morrigan Crow is cursed. Having been born on Eventide, the unluckiest day for any child to be born, she's blamed for all local misfortunes, from hailstorms to heart attacks--and, worst of all, the curse means that Morrigan is doomed to die at midnight on her eleventh birthday. But as Morrigan awaits her fate, a strange and remarkable man named Jupiter North appears. Chased by black-smoke hounds and shadowy hunters on horseback, he whisks her away into the safety of a secret, magical city called Nevermoor. It's then that Morrigan discovers Jupiter has chosen her to contend for a place in the city's most prestigious organization: the Wundrous Society. In order to join, she must compete in four difficult and dangerous trials against hundreds of other children, each boasting an extraordinary talent that sets them apart - an extraordinary talent that Morrigan insists she does not have. To stay in the safety of Nevermoor for good, Morrigan will need to find a way to pass the tests - or she'll have to leave the city to confront her deadly fate.Present Books Supposing The Trials of Morrigan Crow (Nevermoor #1)

What a fun middle grade read!! I dont read of this genre & I am kicking myself for not! This was so whimsical & just downright fun!!☂☁I would highly recommend if your looking for a fun read!My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐This took me literally no time at all because this story is SO. GOOD. This world is the most unique thing Ive read in a very long time, and the whole thing was filled with so many twists and turns and surprises I was left on the edge of my seat the ENTIRE. TIME. I need the next one NOW. NOOOWWWWW.
I LOVED this. It has everything I want in a middle grade book - magic, danger, humour - and a giant grumpy cat called Fenestra.Morrigan Crow is a cursed child, the blame of every misfortune that happens within her home town. Heart attack? Morrigans fault because she asked after your health. Storm destroyed your house? Morrigans vault because she stated it was a nice day. Anything and everything considered unlucky is the result of Morrigan. And shes also destined to die on her eleventh birthday.
4 1/2 stars. This could be the beginning of a new series phenomenon. What do you say, Jessica Townsend? Are you ready for it?Morrigan Crow was born to die on her eleventh birthday. She is cursed. But an invitation to the elusive Wundrous Society changes her destiny. She needs to pass challenging trials that will determine if she has it in her to be part of something bigger than herself and join the elite group. But everyone seems to have a talent, something that makes them magical. Except her.
Middle of the road middle grade.That best describes this reading experience for me, which was a huge bummer. Someone I follow gushed about this book and how "magical" it was...and it just didn't live up to those expectations for me, sadly.In fact, this read like a book that was trying too hard to be the next big movie franchise. A lot of the elements of the book felt very choppy and very clearly borrowed from other huge blockbusters, i.e., Harry Potter (obviously), The Hunger Games, Mary Poppins
Oh my! That was *Magnificat! I mean Magnificent! I realize that the below quote is quite long... But it sets the tone of this fantastic book! Enjoy! Jupiter was gazing anxiously out the window now, a frown creasing his forehead. You did actually sign the contract before you burned it, though, he said without looking at her. And who says youre going to die? You dont have to die if you dont want to. Corvus slammed his fist on the table. This is intolerable! Who do you think you are, waltzing into
Ok, I'm gonna have to rethink my "I don't like middle grade" stance. This was beautiful and perfect and I need the next book ASAP. It's so creative and special and I just can't find enough nice things to say about it.
