Absolutely obsessed with this series. I don't think I have had such a powerful attachment to a book series since reading Harry Potter as a child! I cannot wait for the fourth book to come out and would highly recommend reading along with the audiobooks!

Well that's it! This is by far the best book I've read this year and I definitely didn't expect that!

Love love love Morrigan Crow!! This third one is sliightly less amazing than the first one in the series, but even better than the second. The scary virus Hollowpox turns wunimals into regular animals, and splits Nevermoor’s inhabitants into two camps - those who sympathize with the Wunimals and those who let their fear of the virus control their thoughts. Very similar plot to the one in Zootopia, and scarily relevant to our own world.

This book was a big miss for me. It doesn’t really focus on Morrigan’s progress with her knack and was felt solely focus on hollowpox.
Plot: 1.5/5. This is book 3 in the Nevermoor series and picks up where book 2 leaves off. A mystery virus is causing Wunimals (intelligent talking animals) to lose their minds. No one knows where the virus originated or how to stop it. There’s more misinformation spreading daily and the Wundrous Society must figure out how to stop it. While told through Morrigan’s perspective, her development story is not really part of the plot.
Pacing: 1.5/5. This book was slow to medium paced. It was hard to keep interested as the book was less about the Wundrous Society and Morrigan and more about a virus.
Character Development: 1.5/5. Not much development happens for Morrigan. We learn more about the Wundrous society as a whole and a bit more about Wundersmith powers, but it is limited. Most of this book is about the treatment of Wunimals and a virus.
Overall Rating: 1.5/5 but rounded up to 2 stars. I was so disappointed by this book considering the first two I gave 5 stars. Maybe it was timing for me, but coming out of the pandemic, this book felt like political statement about racism and covid/viruses and not about the main character’s development of her knack. It was less escapism than I like it my books and felt too much of a one off story.
I’m left with many questions at the end of this so if you also like a neat bow at the end of your books, this one may not be for you.
Mood: virus, racism, dark
TW: death, characters losing their minds, contagious virus, racism, bullying, injury, mentions of alcohol, romance (m/f relationship, mentioned infidelity in f/f relationship, f/f kiss and f/f relationship)
