Morrigan is really stressed leading up to the first trial but she has managed to make both friends and enemies. The following morning she discusses it with Jupiter and we get to see their almost father and daughter relationship and he explains that she does have a knack she just doesn’t know what it is yet and he explains that the Society will provide her with the family she has always wanted and this almost makes Morrigan cry.

One night she encounters to assistant for Ezra Squall in the hotel and realises that Squall’s bid on her wasn’t a hoax and the offer is still open to her but she wants to give Jupiter and chance but she has to know whether or not she has a knack because she doesn’t believe she has one or that her curse is the knack which scares her even more. When Morrigan learns of the trials she is going to go through to try and gain entry into the Wundrous Society she realises that for Jupiter to bid on her she has to have a knack or talent but she doesn’t believe she has one.

Jupiter takes Morrigan to Nevermoor to the hotel he owns and runs where she will be living from now one and she is trying to adjust to this new strange and delightful world that she has been brought to but she is still harbouring fears from her upbringing. Right now things are a little confusing but I have a feeling that things will begin to make sense soon.

However, the season is changing which means Morrigan is going to die in a few hours but a mysterious man named Jupiter North turns up to escort Morrigan to her new home as her patron and helps her escape the Hunt for her. Corvus believe this is a prank since no one turned up to interview Morrigan but she was speaking with a man said to representing Ezra Squall, the more important man in the kingdom but this was also a ruse. Despite this her father does let her attend bid day, where children receive bids from the wealthy for further education and she ends up receiving four bids which has never been heard of, especially for a cursed child. The opening to The Trials of Morrigan Crow was interesting as we are introduced to Morrigan, a cursed child, meaning she is going to die on her 12 th birthday and she is also the daughter of an important politician, Corvus Crow but neither he or her stepmother seem to care about Morrigan and her impending death. Genre: Middle Grade, Fantasy, Mental HealthĪfter Game of Thrones took up so much time for the book club to read and I also put it down due to my mental health at the time we decided for something easier to read for March and that was the first book in the Nevermoor series. Title: The Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend (Nevermoor Book 1)
