Thank you Hachette for this book in exchange for an honest review
Synopsis:
Morrigan Crow and her friends have survived their first year as proud scholars of the elite Wundrous Society, helped bring down the nefarious Ghastly Market, and proven themselves loyal to Unit 919. Now Morrigan faces a new, exciting challenge: to master the mysterious Wretched Arts of the Accomplished Wundersmith, and control the power that threatens to consume her.
Meanwhile, a strange and frightening illness has taken hold of Nevermoor, turning infected Wunimals into mindless, vicious Unnimals on the hunt. As victims of the Hollowpox multiply, panic spreads. There are whispers – growing louder every day – that this catastrophe can only be the work of the Wundersmith, Ezra Squall.
But inside the walls of Wunsoc, everyone knows there is a new Wundersmith – one who’s much closer to home. With Nevermoor in a state of fear and the truth about Morrigan threatening to get out, the city she loves becomes the most perilous place in the world. Morrigan must try to find a cure for the Hollowpox, but it will put her – and everyone in Nevermoor – in more danger than she could have imagined
Review:
Hollowpox was everything I wanted and absolute perfection. There is no way that I could give it any less than the 5 stars that it absolutely deserves! So much so that I have this series in hardcover and paperback and had this final book pre-ordered as soon as it was announced to be released!
Morrigan and her friends are learning more about the Wundorus Society and in particular Morrigan learns about the hidden parts of the school, so she is able to learn more about herself as a Wundersmith. While this pressure is already enormous for Morrigan, add in a mysterious illness that has spread across Nevermoor. I love how you get to see the fear and judgement that is featured against Morrigan for being something perceived as dangerous and how she strives to prove herself worthy against society’s judgement
The third instalment of this series outshines the first and second book, which I never even thought it was possible to do. I loved this series, I loved this book. Honestly, you would never be disappointed with this read!!!
