Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend

Absolutely amazing. Just what I was looking for at this point. Fun, quirky, with a bit of magic. None of that falling in love and sex stuff - although I do love those books too when I’m in the mood and if they’re good.

But right now I was in the mood for something more childish (in an absolutely amazing way, kind of like The Amulet of Samarkand) and whimsical.
I generally like books like this more

Delightful. I felt it started a little slow despite the curse but picked up fast when the trials began. Excellent cast of supporting characters— I’m particularly interested in learning more about Jack and Cadence. And a little darkness in Morrigan is perfect, too.

1 - this is infinitely better than hp
2 - i was so obsessed with this that i included it in the cringy stories about immortal, rainbow obsessed 13 year olds i wrote when i was 12.

I really enjoyed this book! The likeness to Harry Potter was lovely - not a total rip off like a lot of books that take inspiration from HP, but its own story with similar elements from time to time. Morrigan is such a lovely character, and so are the others.

I'll definitely be carrying on with this series!

I had heard and read lots of great things about this book and, as a sucker for middle grade books, I really wanted to read it. But, somehow, this book is not for me. It was giving me Harry Potter vs Studios Ghibli vibes, which you'd think would be an awesome combination, but something was not actually doing it for me, it wasn't gripping my attention at all.
It was pleasant enough to read but at the same time not captivating enough
