Publisher's summary

This sweeping middle grade fantasy debut by Rochelle Hassan follows Roda and Ignis, who embark on an adventure filled with magic and mystery—perfect for fans of Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones.

Roda isn’t afraid of the monsters that roam the wilds of the Aerlands. She’s safe in her small town, which is surrounded by a wall of freezing, enchanted mist that keeps the beasts away. So when Roda rescues an injured crow on the instruction of her secret pen pal, Anonymous—whose letters arrive without warning and correctly predict the future—she’s surprised to learn she’s brought one of the so-called monsters home. Because her crow is really a shape-shifting boy named Ignis.

Ignis doesn’t remember where he was going before he crashed. But Anonymous brought him and Roda together for a reason—and the only way to find out what Anonymous wants is to follow the trail of baffling clues in Roda’s letters. Their perilous journey leads them into the mist and beyond, to a mysterious place called Nowhere. But Ignis has secrets, and the farther they get, the more Roda doubts she can trust him.

As a nefarious force closes in, they’ll have to put aside their differences and work together. For they might be each other’s only defense against an enemy who threatens their past, present, and future.

Middlegrade At Its (Near) Best

Well this was tremendous, and the best middle-grade book I've read since I was lucky enough to pick up Megan Morrison's Grouded over a year ago. Roda and Ignis are impossibly not to love, both clever and flawed and with a fascinating, bittersweet relationship. I could have easily read another ~330 pages of these two, and that's the only reason this book wasn't an absolute favorite.

***SPOILER***

I hate open/ambiguous endings as a rule, and The Prince of Nowhere especially felt like the first half of a duology (or even the first third of a trilogy), with so much room for more.

***SPOILER***

You better believe I'll be waiting for more from Hassan with bated breathe <3
