Morrigan Crow is a cursed child. She knows it, her family knows it, everyone knows it. So it is very unexpected when she attends the Bidding Ceremony and is actually bid on more than once. But were they serious offers? Especially when, as a cursed child, she is going to die at anytime.
But then, mysteriously, a benefactor named Jupiter, rescues her on the night of her looming death and takes her to Nevermoor where she will participate as his apprentice in the Wondrous Trials. But how can she win if she doesn't have any knack (talent) to speak of and what will happen if and when she fails?
I was surprised this was over 400 pages (read as an eBook) because it read very quickly. It was a lot of fun, quirky characters, and a clever world. While it appears there may be more about Morrigan it ended well.
