Off the Bookshelf: HOLLOWPOX, The Hunt for Morrigan Crow, by Jessica Townsend

 

Narrated by Gemma Whelan

Nevermore series

audiobook

DEVOURED this book. Got a lot more exercise, walking, just so I could keep listening.

LOVE the Nevermore series. The worldbuilding is incredible. The characters are such fun.

Morrigan's life is finally settling down and she's finally getting lessons on using her power as a Wundersmith ... but then terror slips into Nevermore. A dreadful disease is spreading through the Free State, and threatens to destroy the society from within because it pits Humans against Wunnimals. The disease is turning Wunnimals into Unnimals -- ordinary, beastly animals. What can be done to stop it?

Of course, it's bad enough Morrigan and her friends feel helpless and useless, as mere students in the Wundrous Society, but then the Society itself comes up against criticism and helplessness and feeling useless, when they can't seem to stop the Hollowpox. Things get worse when the evil, renegade Wundersmith, Ezra Squall makes contact with Morrigan. He will cure the Hollowpox if she agrees to be his apprentice.

Can she do it? Will the cure come too late for Morrigan, and perhaps too late to save her friends?

READ. THIS. BOOK.

Lovely, delicious series. Fun, thrilling, with lots of "No, Morrigan, don't do it!" moments.

More, please?
