A cursed girl escapes death and finds herself in a magical world - but is then tested beyond her wildest imagination
Morrigan Crow is cursed. Having been born on Eventide, the unluckiest day for any child to be born, she's blamed for all local misfortunes, from hailstorms to heart attacks--and, worst of all, the curse means that Morrigan is doomed to die at midnight on her eleventh birthday.
But as Morrigan awaits her fate, a strange and remarkable man named Jupiter North appears. Chased by black-smoke hounds and shadowy hunters on horseback, he whisks her away into the safety of a secret, magical city called Nevermoor.
It's then that Morrigan discovers Jupiter has chosen her to contend for a place in the city's most prestigious organization: the Wundrous Society. In order to join, she must compete in four difficult and dangerous trials against hundreds of other children, each boasting an extraordinary talent that sets them apart - an extraordinary talent that Morrigan insists she does not have. To stay in the safety of Nevermoor for good, Morrigan will need to find a way to pass the tests - or she'll have to leave the city to confront her deadly fate.

三星半
评分看到最后还挺抓人的!三天看完了。受诅咒的小姑娘来到一个奇特世界的经历,为了争取进入魔法(wunder)协会的资格,经历了三次考验。最后一次考验却十分不同寻常,把整本书拉到了哈利波特这个层面的深度。属于八到十二岁的读物吧。但大人读起来也不觉得幼稚。作者的文字也很幽默。续集也已经出了。目测这几年会拍成电影,底子特别好。
评分异世界型儿童文学,经常会把现实描写成简单粗暴的讨厌,异世界则经常是是进入一个特权阶层,对于小学生来说,这样的幻想再正常不过,但作为作者的成年人,除了迎合,还可以做得更好。当然这些也可能只是因为君主制。这本还是比HP系列好点,作者没那么算计。
评分三星半
评分拿这本书和Harry Potter做比较是出版商销售这本书的时候做的事。事实上,自哈利波特之后,好几次听到某一本新的儿童Fantasy读物被打上这样的标签。尽管渴望,可我还没读到哪本让我回想起当年阅读哈利波特的愉悦中带着震撼的感受。所以再次听到这类推销语时,我为作者担心:这虽是一种赞美吧,也许也挺不公平的。担心多余了。这是我读到的最靠近当年阅读哈利波特感受的作品了。一个奇特的魔法世界,一个特别的勇敢小姑娘,一些也许只有到成年才能明白的映射(和哈利波特一样,不知道也完全不影响阅读体验,如同当年少年的我们阅读哈利一样)。真期待第二本书的到来。
