I wish every book was like this. Thrilling, wondrous and amazing, with great characters and plot twists. I dare you to not read it all in one night - it is impossible to put down.
A mixture of Harry Potter and Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children; this is a book for everyone who loves magic and wonder.

I don’t think I can sum up how much I love this book in a few paragraphs, so here’s a list of stuff I love about this series (and it’s a long one):

- Morrigan Crow is cursed, sassy, & talented queen who really needs a hug.

- Jupiter North is a chaotic pansexual mess who also really needs a hug.

- Hawthorne Swift gets introduced in a fuzzy pink cat sweater while dumping frogs on a garden party (do I need to say more?).

- Cadence Blackburn is a mesmerist that no one remembers and doesn’t really care about anyone’s opinion.

- Fen, Frank, Jack, Miss Cheery, and practically everyone else are amazing too.

- The main villain gets in your brain and stays there (also he’s a psychopath that needs to stay 45674326891468 billion miles away from Mog).

- ALSO almost all the characters either are of color, lgbtqia+, or just overall accepting of everything.

- The Wunderous Society is my backup option if I can’t go to Hogwarts.

- And practically everything else in the book is fantastic as well.

Just please go read the Morrigan Crow series by Jessica Townsend. I can almost guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

This series is just so fun. I want to read a million books in this world with these characters. They are unlike anything I've ever read, and are the perfect balance of fun, whimsical, exciting, and dark.

Really enjoying this series so far. I can see it being one that I reread in the future.

The imagination here is staggering and the world so wonderful to get lost in. The character work is excellent with some really memorable, distinct voices.

Although I did guess a couple of the twists in here that didn’t spoil the reading experience for me. Looking forward to reading the next one.
