Each of the candidates can undertake up to four trials (it’s like sudden death – if you fail one, you’re out), the first three of which change each year, and then the final trial is the Show Trial – where you show your knack and the Society deems if you are good enough to join. Which, you know, when your patron won’t tell you what your ‘knack’ is, is probably quite intimidating. Each year Wunsoc only takes nine candidates, and this year there are more than 500 candidates entering. Now Wunsoc is a very elite club. In order to be invited to join, you must be put forward by a sponsor (Jupiter in this case) and then pass four trials. Of course, all this is before she is saved by Jupiter North of the Wundrous Society (Wunsoc for short) on the eve of Eventide, and spirited away to Nevermoor, where she lives in the most magical hotel (the Deucalion) and is invited to join Wunsoc.
I’ll never wish you luck again you ungrateful little.
Please accept my deepest apologies for any trouble I may have caused you. I’m sorry to hear you lost your recent spelling bee because you’re an idiot. I’m sorry you thought TREACLE was spelt with a K. Morrigan gets blamed for EVERYTHING that happens, and each month her father pays for all the disasters to befall the community, and Morrigan also writes apology notes that are hilarious: All cursed children die on the next Eventide after they are born (this is basically like a comet in that it may be a different number of years until the next one comes around), as they were all born on the previous Eventide. I had no idea where it was going, but I cannot believe I put it off for so long! I need all of the remainder of the books immediately!! If books were colours, this would start off as black, then go through a rainbow phase and end up sparkling gold. Oh my gosh, this book was the CUTEST most mystical story I think I have ever read. Racing against time, can Morrigan claim her place in this wild Wundrous city before the shadows catch up with her?
Only first she must pass four impossible trials using an exceptional talent (which she doesn’t have). Morrigan cannot believe her luck when she’s given a once-in-a-lifetime chance to join the Wundrous Society – a place of mystery, magic and protection. She bravely accepts her doom, but in a very surprising twist of fate, before the clock strikes twelve on Eventide and the howling shadow of wolves arrive, she’s whisked away by a remarkable man called Jupiter North and taken to the secret city of Nevermoor. Not only does Morrigan Crow’s curse man she’s blamed for all bad luck, she’s also destined to die on her eleventh birthday. Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow (Nevermoor, #1) blurb:
