Review #19944 - Dated: 11th of September, 2018
Author: mizim |
There was so much hype around this book when it came out and I heard so much about it as my mums work hosted a book launch for Nevermoor, I have an Nevermoor umbrella thanks to it, but I've only just managed to sit down with it to give it a read and I must say that I wished I'd read it sooner, it's such fun. Morrigan is about to turn eleven but it's not something to be celebrated, for her it means death, but things don't happen as expected and she finds herself whisked away by the eccentric Jupiter North, owner of a gorgeous, magical hotel in the land of Nevermoor and her new Patron. Along the way she makes friends with Hawthorne and meets Jupiters nephew Jack.
The story follows Morrigan as she leaves behind the life or death as was the case, that she thought she was headed for and the new one that offers her so much but there's great risk in getting there, her spot in a happy life isn't guaranteed. Because this world of Nevermoor is so new to Morrigan, it is perfect for us as the reader because we get to learn as she does but just as she is left with many questions so are we, but it didn't make me feel impatient or annoyed at a lack of answers as some books have. The characters are well developed and you do get introduced to quite a few, ones you know will be background characters and some that may well become more key as the series continues.
With this book having sold really well and so far set to be made into a film and the second instalment to come out this year, this is a fun, well written, enthralling tale of a young girl finding life, adventure and a whole lot of danger and I can't wait to see what happens next.
