The trials of morrigan crow6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() But when a mysterious ginger man called Jupiter North appears, with the promise to take her away from her old life, she doesn’t hesitate. Her father says it’s all just a cruel joke and the glimmer of hope Morrigan had for a second is crushed. Don’t they know that she won’t live another year? But when it’s bid-day, a day where adults can bid on children to further finance their education, Morrigan receives four bids. Everyone seems to be looking forward to the day she dies and Morrigan doesn’t know any differently. Her family doesn’t provide much comfort either, because they simply dislike her and ignore her most of the time. It also means she is a ‘cursed child’ and she’s constantly having to apologise for everything that goes wrong in the dreary town she is born in. ![]() ![]() Morrigan Crow was born on Eventide, which means she will die when she is twelve years old. And I can now proudly say: This is a fantastic book, for middle school-ers and university students alike! It’s an absolute rollercoaster of events and emotions washed over me as I read this, flipping through the pages as quickly as I possibly could. It’s often very, as the name suggests, ‘in between’: it’s either too childish or simply trying to hard to be exciting. In books you have this very specific genre called ‘middle school’, and I’m never really that fond of it. ![]()
