What a delightful adventure! I loved the mystical world Townsend created, and all the quirky characters. Definitely a fun new series for those who enjoyed reading Harry Potter. I couldn't recommend it more!

This was definitely an amazing book. Morrigan’s whole journey from the very start to the very end never failed to pique my curiosity. What is she, actually? Who is she? What is Jupiter’s whole deal with her that he had gone to such an extent of protecting her?
And I love the big reveal moment, truly. The scene with Morrigan and Wundersmith was the highlight for me. It was amazing, it was tense, it gave me goosebumps because I could picture the whole scene inside my head. Trapped with a villain who just wanted to mess with her head, giving her a big reveal about her identity that she hadn’t even known before. It must have been very traumatizing for Morrigan herself to receive such information from the villain himself.
Afterall, this was a very, very fun read. I’ve never read Harry Potter (though I have watched all of the movies), but this is not worth comparing to.

As a review on the front cover states “readers will feel as though Harry Potter is meeting Alice in Wonderland”. I couldn’t agree more, I think there is also a hint of A Series of Unfortunate Events about it as well, at least to begin with. A great read, definitely felt weird getting a book from the library from the junior fiction area but I think this would appeal to all ages who like this type of genre. Will definitely be reading the rest in this series.
