About this listen

Winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2018 Younger Fiction Category

Enter the Wundrous world of Morrigan Crow and Nevermoor.

Morrigan Crow is cursed. Having been born on Eventide, the unluckiest day for any child to be born, she's blamed for all local misfortunes, from hailstorms to heart attacks - and, worst of all, the curse means that Morrigan is doomed to die at midnight on her 11th birthday. But as Morrigan awaits her fate, a strange and remarkable man named Jupiter North appears. Chased by black-smoke hounds and shadowy hunters on horseback, he whisks her away into the safety of a secret, magical city called Nevermoor.

It's then that Morrigan discovers Jupiter has chosen her to contend for a place in the city's most prestigious organisation: the Wundrous Society. In order to join, she must compete in four difficult and dangerous trials against hundreds of other children, each boasting an extraordinary talent that sets them apart - an extraordinary talent that Morrigan insists she does not have.

To stay in the safety of Nevermoor for good, Morrigan will need to find a way to pass the tests - or she'll have to leave the city and confront her deadly fate once and for all. Perfect for fans of the Harry Potter series and His Dark Materials, this series takes listeners into an extraordinary world, setting hope and imagination alive.

wunderfull

The chosen one trope
A little Harry Potter esque
Fantastic narrator
Enjoyed listening to the story, and looked forward to picking it up every time

Morrigan did not play stupid, which i love
And ofc she is a wundersmith like the villain

But appart from that, great story
Got supprised a few times
Not much of a 'boss fight' in the end, but the last chapter saved it from 4 stars
Hope to see what the evil wundersmith can do in the next one

Good but could be excellent

First and far most when reading understand that i really like the book but at the same time i feel it was some what lacking some epic sides.

Reader is splendid! Brilliant job! I just love how she does Captain North and i agree with other readers that if some were to make a film out of it. North should be played by Mr.Depp

I kind of hate how the beging of the book feels like alice in the wonder land and i feel that most of the epic scenes could have been pushed to be longer and more detailed so that reader would get to enjoy them more. Now they just flash trough. This is why no 5 stars overall.

Nevertheless i highly recommend this book for each and every who enjoy a book of fantasy.

The next Harry Potter?

The story is wonderful and amazing, I absolutely loved it.
The performance is generally good, except for some of the character-voices which annoyed me endlessly.
I will recommend listening in spite of that tho', simply because the book in itself is so incredibly good.
