Add to this clever plotting, irresistibly quirky humour, a truly treacherous villain, and real heart in Morrigan’s quest for courage, hope and identity. The Trials of Morrigan Crow Jessica Townsend, Jim Madsen (Illustrator) 4.34 58,268 ratings9,858 reviews A cursed girl escapes death and finds herself in a magical world - but is then tested beyond her wildest imagination Morrigan Crow is cursed. Spectacular set pieces like the Fright Trial and the Battle of Christmas Eve lend a deliciously cinematic feel to her writing. And what a world it is: from the surreal Hotel Deucalion to giant Magnifi-cats and the Tube-inspired Wunderground transport system, Townsend’s vibrant world-building is what really sets Nevermoor apart. The problem is that Morrigan can only remain in Nevermoor and escape death if she earns a place in the city’s most prestigious organization, the Wondrous Society, by passing four difficult. Once the mist rises over Nevermoor’s silver gates, a Wizard of Oz-style technicolor transformation takes place. Don’t be fooled by the gothic opening chapters. ![]()
