Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow is as magical and gripping as I can wish, wild and beautiful and just a little bit dark. I am happy to report that that is not the case here at all. When someone writes a really dazzling and creative debut, sometimes the rest of the series doesn’t quite live up to it. I was so charmed by Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow that I was worried this sequel wouldn’t live up to it.

The fantastical city of Nevermoor, once a place of magic and safety, is now riddled with fear and suspicion… Worst of all, people have started to go missing. Has Morrigan escaped from being the cursed child of Wintersea only to become the most hated figure in Nevermoor? And someone is blackmailing Morrigan’s unit, turning her last few loyal friends against her. She’s hoping for an education full of wunder, imagination and discovery – but all the Society want to teach her is how evil Wundersmiths are. Morrigan Crow has been invited to join the prestigious Wundrous Society, a place that promised her friendship, protection and belonging for life. And she is fast learning that not all magic is used for good.

Morrigan Crow may have defeated her deadly curse, passed the dangerous trials and joined the mystical Wundrous Society, but her journey into Nevermoor and all its secrets has only just begun. Published: October 30m 2018 Official Summary
