![]() ![]() ![]() The comparisons tend to be highly superficial, the described book unlikely to satisfy a Harry Potter fan looking for more of the same. Often when I hear a middle grade fantasy is similar to Harry Potter, I roll my eyes. ![]() If you’ve heard anything about Nevermoor, you’ve probably heard it’s “perfect for Harry Potter fans”. As this is one of my longest ‘reviews’ ever, here is a wee table of contents: The final section on Hollowpox contains spoilers for all three books. I avoid specific spoilers in most sections, but remember I reflect on the series as a whole. This post mixes my personal reaction to the series and an evaluation of its appeal for young readers. But third time’s the charm! I reread the first two books last month and finished Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow a few days ago. “I’ll review both books at once, giving an overview of the elements that make this series so enjoyable!”, I thought. I shelved the sequel, Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow (which had already been released), immediately after finishing Nevermoor, though I didn’t pick it up until December 2019. I had good intentions to review the book after it was announced the Cybils winner, but intentions do not write book reviews. I thought it couldn’t possibly be as good as everyone made it out to be. I had heard some buzz around the book prior to that. Cybils judging introduced me to Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow in January 2019. This post sat in my drafts for just over a year. ![]()
