Reseñas de la Crítica

Exciting, mysterious, marvellous and magical . . . quite simply one of the best children's books I've read in years

An extraordinary story full of magics great and small, from the Hotel Deucalion to the Magnificat . . . Townsend has created a book of wunders. In Morrigan Crow I've found a heroine I'm willing to step boldly after, and follow her wherever her adventure takes her next

Endlessly inventive, with a fresh delight on every page, Nevermoor rewrites the genre of the Chosen Child novel. This is a special book.

'A full-speed joy of a book; funny, quick-footed, and wildly, magically inventive'

Townsend's debut fully lives up to its hype

Townsend's intensely cinematic writing, quirky humour and superior world-building conjure a genuinely fresh take on magical fantasy

The subject of a heated publishers' auction, Townsend's debut fully lives up to the hype

Utterly mesmerising from start to finish, Nevermoor is a masterful piece of storytelling, full of wonderful characters and world so rich in magical detail you'll think you've actually stepped into it.

Jessica Townsend's Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow is more than just a spectacular debut. Exciting, charming, and wonderfully imagined, it's the sort of delightful grand adventure destined to be many a reader's favorite book

Funny and delightful

'Welcome to your new obsession, Harry Potter fans. This perfectly measured combination of mystery, magic, a loveable heroine and an engrossing plot is one of our favourite children's novels of 2017'

A wonderful, warm-hearted magical adventure [that] will instantly draw you in

Charming, magical and the perfect book to lose yourself in during the Christmas break...

'This magical debut novel is a dazzling and engrossing feat of imagination'

'Written with a wonderful deadpan humour and sharp dialogue, this is a must for the next Harry Potter generation'

The plot is fast-paced, there is a pleasing mix of menace and humour and Morrigan is an appealing, compelling hero, always ready to 'step boldly' into the dangerous and enticing world of Nevermoor.

Winner of the Waterstones Children's Books Prize, Younger Fiction Category. Shortlisted for the IBW Book Award, Children's Fiction.

Jessica Townsend's writing is very satisfying and her pen masterfully creates a magical world which is mostly unique. A demanding, but satisfying, read, but readers will be readers will be rewarded with an absorbing story, with pace, plot and character aplenty.

I was gripped reading this fantastic, magical adventure.

Magical 'middle-grade' fiction became the hot ticket, in adventures like Jessica Townsend's Nevermoor

Wunderful middlegrade fantasy

Excellent narration by Gemma Whelan, she gave such life to the Book and its characters. AudioBooks really is the way to go with this series.

wunderfull

The chosen one trope
A little Harry Potter esque
Fantastic narrator
Enjoyed listening to the story, and looked forward to picking it up every time

Morrigan did not play stupid, which i love
And ofc she is a wundersmith like the villain

But appart from that, great story
Got supprised a few times
Not much of a 'boss fight' in the end, but the last chapter saved it from 4 stars
Hope to see what the evil wundersmith can do in the next one

Awesome audiobook!

Great story, great characters and well done audiobook. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.

I want more!

Wonderful story, Wonderful performance!

Morrigans journey is one of the more exciting and unpredicting stories I've heard. Cant wait for book two to be available in my region!

Loved it amazing characters and a very interesting story line.
Cannot wait to start on The Wundersmith.
