Where I found the magic a bit chaotic and confusing in the first book, Townsend has settled into the story and created a great structure for Morrigan to progress through her education mastering different skills. Townsend explores a plethora of social issues in this book from stigma and discrimination to diplomatic relations. This is a series that is getting better and better as it progresses. Morrigan is suddenly under even more pressure to master her abilities to save Nevermoor and her Wunimal friends. Worse, it only seems to affect Wunimals, taking away their ability to reason and leaving only their most basic animal instincts. Meanwhile, a mysterious illness has struck Nevermoor throwing the city in chaos. However, only able to watch records and without the guidance of a teacher, Morrigan’s progress is frustratingly slow. She eagerly jumps into her lessons, keen to master her new abilities. In her second year as a scholar at the exclusive Wundrous Society, Morrigan is finally permitted to study the so-called Wretched Arts of the Accomplished Wundersmith. “Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow” by Jessica Townsend is the third book in the children’s fantasy series “Nevermoor”.
