So sad this book is over so quickly. I’d loved the first Nevermoor book and I loved the sequel just as much. I really hope it will go on. It has great world building and interesting, developing characters.

I was so worried going into this book that my love for the series, the characters, and the writing would drop. However, I am pleased to say that Jessica Townsend's writing is amazing. Morrigan is amazing, one of the best characters I have read in a long time. Character relationships grow
and Squall is... perfectly creepy and manipulative
. The one downside is  I was annoyed with how little time Jupiter spent in the book and his interaction with Morrigan. I understand he was busy, but it was a tad frustrating. Although it did make me enjoy the times he interacted with everyone. Also, I felt the change in pace very quickly and knew it wasn't fast paced like the first one, which was disappointing. However, the last part of the book was phenomenal and made up for the slower pace and annoying moments with characters. I gasped, eyes were wide, and I read it all in very fast and very excitedly and finished loving this book. Without a doubt, these are the best books I have read this year.
the concealment department video moment was a bit creepy and I was also wondering what the hell was going on along with the characters, but Townsend later explained it. Also the Elders really bother me, I had a suspicion of the letters but thought it couldn't be possible because it seemed cruel, until it was revealed

I just finished Jessica Townsend’s middle grade book Wundersmith, the sequel to her book Nevermoor. I loved it! And I almost never read sequels!

The first book,Nevermoor, introduced us to Morrigan Crow, a girl born cursed but told she could maybe be a part of a prestigious organization called the Wundrous Society. Wundersmith is a continuation of Morrigan’s adventures, which I’m not going to disclose to you because it would ruin the book! Suffice it to say these books are so dang creative and the characters are lovable.

In my opinion, these books deserve to NOT be compared to those books about the wizard. BUT— I can tell just like with those, um, books about magic wands etc., this story is building well and the characters are rich enough to withstand a solid series. The next in the series, Hollowpox, comes out in March and three more books will follow. Also a movie of the first book is in the works.

I find lovely religious metaphors in these books. Even when we feel lost God is always taking care of us, we have the potential for great evil so we must choose to do right, doing the right thing doesn’t always feel good, and other lessons are throughout.
