I listened to 'Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow' as an audiobook after enjoying reading the book a few years ago. I loved the story even more the second time! The audiobook version is phenomenal, with Gemma Whelan transforming into distinct characters during dialogue. I felt instantly transported to Morrigan's world.

Even though this is a middle grade story, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a magical and whimsical adventure. There are magical trials and a talking cat, as well as some interesting social commentary. With multifaceted characterisation and fantastic world building, there is a lot to love.

I loved the story and the chatacters.The narration was beautifully done.
I knew the story but I felt like I was visiting for the first time.

Having read the book, Nevermoor: The Trials of morrigan Crow, I knew what I was in for. I truly enjoy the series. However I never listened to the audiobook until it was presented to me. I received the audiobook as a digital review from Netgalley and in return am leaving my honest opinion of it. As stated, I am familiar with the great book series as well as the narrator, Gemma Whelan, but only knowing her for her acting skills on screen. I knew just from her acting reputoire that I was in for a treat. I was not wrong.

The audio version of Nevermoor was absolutely spectacular! It brought new life to the fantastical and magical world Jessica Townsend has created for the reader. Gemma Whelan brings bright life to each and every whimsy character she narrates and she leaves nothing to the imagination. She could read the dictionary and it would be entertaining, she is just that good.

I cannot recommend enough for readers (young and young at heart) to add this audiobook to their collection. Whether you are new to the series or want to re-read for a whole new experience, do it! You will not be disappointed, I promise!

The narrator did an AMAZING job with this book. I need to get my hands on the next ones in the series. This book resparked my love for middlegrade books. I am so glad I read it, it was so whimsical and just perfect.

This audiobook was so delightful. This is the perfect listen for kids—parents and kids can listen to this during car rides. Highly recommended.

I didn't think I could love this book more and then I got a copy of the audiobook through NetGalley (thank you!). The narrator for the book is awesome and really helped enhance the story. Love her voices, especially Finestra who has always been my favorite! If you are going to do a reread (or even a 1st read) in anticipation of the 4th book in June, do yourself a favor and listen to the audiobook. Highly recommend!

Review of Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend – ★★★★☆

Nevermoor is exactly the kind of story that reminds me why adults should dip into middle grade fiction more often. Jessica Townsend has crafted a richly imagined world full of wonder, whimsy, and just enough darkness to keep the stakes real. Morrigan Crow is a delightful protagonist—clever, sharp, and easy to root for—and the universe she’s thrown into feels both fantastical and grounded in its own logic.

I had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook, thanks to NetGalley, and it absolutely elevated the experience. The narration was outstanding—engaging, expressive, and perfectly attuned to the tone of the story. I often found myself lingering in scenes just to savor the performance.

While I’m holding back a star for some pacing issues in the middle, overall this was a joyful, immersive read that made me feel like a kid discovering magic again for the first time. I’m already looking forward to the next in the series.
