This was once again thoroughly enjoyable and had a compelling ending. However, it felt a little formulaic, and the pacing and plot direction was really off. As a side note, I ADORE Jupiter and Morrigan’s adopted father/daughter relationship vibe.

4.5 stars, but rounding up.
I loved the third installment of this series, and it did everything a new installment should do: widen the world, teach us new rules of the magic system, deepen characters, create new conflicts while expanding old ones.
I just couldn't give it a full five stars because the main plot line of Hollowpox felt way too similar to Zootopia. There is so much originality in this series that I was a little disappointed that Townsend relied heavily on that plot line instead of making it her own.

I continue to be enthralled by the world and adventures of Morrigan Crow. The teachings of the Wundersmiths, the devastating spread of the mysterious Hollowpox -- and people's horrible, fearful reactions -- and the fallibility of authority figures. This book creates a magical world that draws readers in while also showing honest portrayals of people and their actions and emotions in response to the unknown. My only complaint is that there are so many details, I can't read too fast!
