Silverborn

The Mystery of Morrigan Crow Book 4

By: Jessica Townsend

Narrated by: Gemma Whelan

Enter the fantastically Wundrous world of Nevermoor - perfect for all adventurous young readers. Morrigan Crow has a dangerous choice to make in the fourth of this bestselling, award-winning series ...

Praise for Nevermoor: 'Exciting, mysterious, marvellous and magical ... quite simply one of the best children's books I've read in years' Robin Stevens, author of Murder Most Unladylike.

In the magical city of Nevermoor, long-buried secrets are coming to light, and Morrigan Crow's life is about to turn upside down.

When Morrigan is invited into Nevermoor's wealthy Silver District, she discovers a world of extravagance and a family mystery she's eager to unravel. She could never imagine where it will lead: a white wedding, a golden dragon and a red pool of blood.

Embroiled in suspicion and danger, Morrigan leaps head first into a murder investigation, while also grappling with her ever-growing Wundersmith powers. And although her friends are there to help, she fears that could change if they learn she's keeping a terrible secret of her own.

As shadowy forces awaken in Nevermoor, can Morrigan find a killer and solve the mystery in her own past ... before the clock strikes midnight?

Jessica Townsend weaves a spellbinding tale of magic and mystery in this thrilling new installment of the Nevermoor series, winner of the Waterstones Children's Book Prize and with film rights sold to Fox.

Absolutely fantastic!✨

One of my favorite books now! Truly! And a beautiful incredible performance from my all time favorite voice actor/narrator Gemma Whelan, she truly is the GOAT! Along with the amazingly creative, wonderful, talented icon of an author Jess Townsend they make an absolute dream team!<3
I’m so excited to finally have this book, the what was well worth it!

Feel good book

Ah, Silverborn—a tale most splendid, rich with peril and promise! I approve. The reader who carries Jupiters essence does so with rare brilliance.

But now… we wait again. How long must we linger in the shadows of suspense? The last tome took ages to arrive. Shall we endure another eternity?

long winded, but great ending

a murder mystery gone family drama.
this was fine, but the family drama and teenage angst was a little too much for me. and a little too slow.
but a great ending!

Great story - but audio edit ruin the listen..!

I really love the nevermoor series and Gemmas readings!

BUT, I got completey distracted by the 360degree change in some of the characters and it ruined the listen. Most yarring was Holiday Wu, who was a cool kiwi in Hollowpox, but is read as a horrible posh brit in Silverborn..
Also around 10 minutes goes on repeat with different voices, which is somewhat confusing..
