I love a good fantasy
This book takes you from one fantasy realm into the fantasy realm of nevermoor which is even more fantastical. I like the mixture of realism with fantasy. It has a good story line and plot. I love all the characters. I can picture how each one looks as I'm reading.

Absolutely magical
I have now read/listened to this series three times and I can’t recommend it enough. I have shared it with my 10 year old child as well as anyone who asked me to recommend a good series. And if you get a chance, listen to the audiobook-the reader Dow a phenomenal job.

A fun, engaging read!
I don’t read a lot of middle grade novels and after enjoying a couple of them in the last couple of years, I decided that I wanted to get more into middle grade fantasy. I had been hearing a lot about Nevermoor and decided to give it a chance and I am so glad that I did.The Trials of Morrigan Crow is about this young girl named Morrigan Crow that has been cursed her entire life. She has been told that when bad things happen around her that it is her fault. She also has been told that on her eleventh birthday, which will be on Eventide, she will die. However, right before that can happen she gets rescued and whisked off to Nevermoor by this man named Jupiter North. Jupiter wants Morrigan to enter these trials so that she can join the Wundrous Society, which will give her the opportunity to stay in Nevermoor forever.I absolutely adored this book. I think the magic and whimsy is what drew me in and kept me entertained the entire time. I want to visit Nevermoor and stay there forever. It reminded me a bit of Wonderland in the sense that it was kind of kooky and odd in a good way. I really hope that we get to see more of it in the next book.I also loved the characters. Morrigan, especially, was a delight. She has this dry sense of humor that kept me chuckling as I was reading. She was also brave and I loved that she constantly questioned everything. With her being thrusted into this new world that she didn’t even know existed, it was really realistic to have her question Jupiter on what was happening. I was annoyed that Jupiter kept a lot of things from her at times, but by the end of the book I understood more on why he did it. The trials were also a lot of fun. I’m a sucker for some kind of competition and this satisfied that for me immensely.I recommend this book for kids and adults alike. I think that a lot of people will enjoy this and I definitely think it deserves the hype it has gotten. I can’t wait for the sequel to find out what is going to happen to my babies next. Also, the audiobook was incredible and I highly suggest checking it out if you’re into that medium.

A new Genrations Harry Potter!!!!!!!!!!! Minus Harry potter and JK Rowling
How can I say this without sounding overjoyed but this book is the next generations Harry Potter, minus the dead parents and minus Jk Rowling in how she is writing now. For fans of Harry Potter seeking a new world to dream in and for those who miss how JK Rowling use to write this new author Jessica Townsend and this book brings you into a brand new magical world filled with its own magical uniqueness that we seek as fans of this genre, Talking big cats, living hotels, Vampire dwarfs and magical societies fill with all kinds of folks, you get it all and main characters who are as lovable and as well as endearing. You will love Morrigan she is the most likable character I have ever seen, she is strong when she needs to be strong, is weak when she is weak but doesn't give up, she lived a life that many of us would feel sorry for her but she moves forward and doesn't let it get her down, mind you its not that easy, but we all have demons in our closets of our souls that we have to deal with. She is quick witted, childish and grown up at the same time, and so funny in many situations but than you also see the little girl side of her with all its vulnerabilities. You meet friends and friendenemies, and a lovable as well and aloof mentor, not a dumbledoore but maybe his cousin who is younger and funnier and a red headed ginger his words not mine lol. You will enjoy this first book of a hopefully epic series to come and enjoy the adventures and yes we got a villain and you will love it, please enjoy this book and be prepared to laugh and cry because the new adventure of MOG will begin!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun and Fantastically Brilliant!!
Jessica Townsend has created a special and enduring new adventure universe in Nevermoor. A very special Christmas gift that I greedily “ran through” during a cross country trip that made what would have been a tedious day into an exhilarating, surprise filled and smile-demanding readers delight. Get it, read it, be happy.

Magic School is back!
Ok Morrigan Crow is cursed, or so she thinks and so does EVERYONE around her! The curse supposedly is that on her 11th birthday she's going to die at Midnight because she was born the unluckiest day of the year, Eventide! Ok then! To all involved, to their surprise, the strangest of men shows up in a cloud of black smoke, Jupiter North and whisk her away to the safety of the secret, magical city NevermoorMorrigan soon realizes that Jupiter has taken her to Nevermoor for her to earn a place in the cities more prestigious organization the Wunderous Society. But to.get that spot she is to compete in.4 difficult & dangerous trials. I love this story, of course everyone is going with the, " it gives HP vibes, and some ways it does.but not a lot. I.think Townsend has done a pretty good job so far separating the two pretty well. I've become to lov we this motley bunch of characters & can't wait to see where they go!Well on her 1th birthday

Surpreendeu !
O livro é muito bom e faz lembrar um pouco de quando li Harry Potter pela magia e a naturalidade com que ela é tratada. Eu não dava nada para o livro e gostei muito dele e mal posso esperar para continuar lendo os outros.

Buen comienzo
Libro en inglés, pasta blanda sin sobrecubierta. Es una historia de fantasía muy al estilo de HP, un buen inicio con introducción al mundo que crea la autora.

Génial, j'ai adoré ce livre!!!
Je n'avais pas lu un livre pour collégien depuis longtemps mais j'avais entendu tant de bonnes choses sur ce livre sur Booktube que j'ai craqué et bien m'en a pris puisque je l'ai vraiment adoré et dévoré. Il m'a redonné les vibrations que j'avais eues en lisant Harry Potter (même si on retrouve les mêmes tropes ce n'est pourtant pas comparable).Alors on débute l'histoire en découvrant Morrigan Crow et paf elle meurt, sans plaisanter. Et puis on revient en arrière et on apprend qu'elle est une enfant maudite, elle porte la méga poisse à tout son entourage, qui la tolère à peine. Mais le jour de son décès elle est enlevée par un rouquin en habit vert pour passer des épreuves et intégrer une école grâce à un pouvoir qu'elle ignore et en logeant entre les épreuves dans un hôtel de fou.Voilà pour un résumé qui ne spoile pas trop l'histoire.Au niveau sensation, c'est sombre, c'est plein d'humour (surtout dans les dialogues), les personnages sont tous plus farfelus les uns que les autres. Il y a plein d'idées et je suis super impatiente de lire le tome 2 que j'ai déjà commandé en poche mais qu'il faut attendre en mai.C'est vraiment sympa, clairement pour jeunes ados mais je l'ai apprécié en tant qu'adulte parce que j'avais besoin d'un truc léger. C'était parfait. Je recommande sans hésiter.
