“Ginger was an understatement, Morrigan thought, trying to hide her astonishment as the hat came off. Ginger of the Year or King Ginger or Big Gingery President of the Ginger Foundation for the Incurably Ginger would have been more accurate. His mane of bright copper waves could probably have won awards”

Meet Morrigan, a cursed girl, who escapes her death and finds herself in a magical world. Sounds good right? But thats not it, it is not over for Morrigan, she has to earn her place in this world and is therefore tested in a way that she has never been tested before. Morrigan is fighting for her place in the Wundrous Society, alongside her patron Jupiter. In order to do this she must face four different trials against hundreds of others fighting for a place in the Society. It will not be easy, but it will be worth it.

THIS BOOK. OMG. WOW. I absolutely love this book and the world that Jessica Townsend has created so so much! I was very apprehensive to start this book as I heard it being compared to books that I absolutely loved in my childhood such as Harry Potter and the Hunger Games and I was convinced that it just could not live up to their standards. I WAS WRONG, SO SO WRONG. Capitals are the only way I can express my feelings for this book. It is the first book I have ever read that gave me the same amazing feeling that I get when I read Harry Potter. It was so exciting and whimsical and I just could not put it down. I found myself looking forward to the time that I could pick it up again and fall back into this fantastic world. The characters are fantastic, I enjoy so many of them. Fenestra had me crying with laughter at certain points in the book, such a fantastic imaginative character. The magical system and the world is just wonderful and if I could move in with them tomorrow I’d be there. This has opened up a new unknown love for Middle Grade books, as an adult I feel like I appreciate this book so much more. I am so invested in Morrigan Crow and Nevermoor, and I will recommend this book to every single person that will listen to me. At the time of writing this, I am eagerly staring at Wundersmith ready to dive straight in again. Bravo, Jessica Townsend, Bravo!

"Step Boldly" and happy reading!
