Finished listening to this one again, just love Gemma Whelan's narration
Yep, really liked it. Lots of familiar tropes but fabulous world-building and excellently plotted and paced. Great characters. Looking forward to guzzling the rest of the series as a comfort read.
A great start to the Nevermoor trilogy. i love that we jump right into the story with Morrigan's life about to end an the adventure is non-stop from there.
Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

Morrigan Crow is brought up believing she is cursed, but when a stranger turns up and rescues her from her fate, she begins a new set of challenges at the Wundrous Society in the secret realm of Nevermoor.
My notes:
This is one of my favourite books. It is cosy and nice and the characters are awesome. I also love the city of Nevermoor with the talking animals, the Hotel Deucalion and the tricksy lanes.
Book notes and screen notes:
There are three books in this series: Nevermoor, Wundersmith and Hollowpox. A fourth, Silverborn, is to be released soon. It is also going to be made into a movie.
