The captivating and heart-pounding third book in the instant New York Times bestselling Nevermoor series, as heroine Morrigan battles a new evil.

Morrigan Crow and her friends have survived their first year as proud scholars of the elite Wundrous Society, helped bring down the nefarious Ghastly Market, and proven themselves loyal to Unit 919. Now Morrigan faces a new, exciting challenge: to master the mysterious Wretched Arts, and control the power that threatens to consume her.

But a strange and frightening illness has taken hold of Nevermoor, turning infected Wunimals into mindless, vicious Unnimals on the hunt. As victims of the Hollowpox multiply, panic spreads. And with the city she loves in a state of fear, Morrigan quickly realizes it's up to her to find a cure for the Hollowpox, even if it will put her - and everyone in Nevermoor - in more danger than she ever imagined.

“Townsend...immerses her readers in a world that intermixes the magic of the Emerald City with Howl's pithiness, Percy Jackson's humor, Coraline's darkness, and perhaps a dash of the depravity of Katniss' District One. Fantasy fans will not be disappointed.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review.

No lie, I enjoyed this book...but I think I would have been enraptured by it had I read the first two!

The Nevermoor world has always been on my reading radar, but I've just never have a chance to step into it.  My first entry was this book, the third in the series, and I can only liken it to the world of the infamous HP.  It IS it's own world with unique characters, creatures, places, and wunders that, in my opinion, the longer you immerse yourself in, the better you are (and your enjoyment of the story) is for it.  I loved all the curious "things" that seemed to have minds of their own.  I enjoyed learning about wunder and how it is called, harnassed (or not), wielded, and grown.  I felt like a member of the 919 crew, espite not have a knack of my own to tote with pride.  Jupiter was a hoot!  The unnimals were familiar, but the wunnimals were spectacular...even when things go very, VERY wrong!  Thing is, it's not just about the magic and the wunder, but the way preconceived notions can blind us to the truth, how prejudice can be dangerous, and how darkness never really dies, it just sort of slumbers.

So, step inside and experience the world of Nevermoor and see how you would fair in a fight with the Big Scaly creatures, or get a front row lesson in Distraction with hopefully humorous versus blood-letting results!  You certainly won't be sorry...but if you have a sec, I'd definitely backtrack to book one and two!
