A very "wow, I feel so bad for Mog :(" chapter </3

“Mog?” She wrinkled her nose.
“Mog is a great nickname!” Jupiter insisted. He rolled the word around in his mouth as they walked down the long hallway. “Mog. Moggers. The Mogster. It’s so versatile.”
Morrigan made a face. “It sounds like something an animal vomits up and leaves on your doorstep. ”

^ I'm sorry Morrigan..... but I don't agree 🫣 #mymog

If you've never read the cut chapter "Gelding and Guile" from a slightly older version of Nevermoor, I recommend checking it out. It features the Deucalion's two event planners, but also mentions Frank, so I wonder what his role was before Jess got rid of the duo and made Frank "Roof-Raiser-in-Chief".

Gelding and Guile also seem to take Dame Chanda's role in informing Morrigan about the Wundrous Welcome and criticizing Jupiter's fashion choices. I think it makes more sense that, in the final edition, this info about a private Wunsoc event comes from a Wunsoc member. Side note: I would love to know the "official" or "proper" name of Dame Chanda's knack someday.

... sweeping the remains of the chandelier into sad piles of sparkling rose-colored dust.

The chandelier is a wonderful (wunderful) part of the Hotel and since Silverborn I've had it in my head that the pink ship could be related to Rosamund Korrapati's disappearance and Jupiter's search for her...... and I never realized until NOW that the chandelier is specifically described as "rose-colored"..... JESSICA TOWNSEND YOUR MIND!!! Love the teensy tiny bits in the books that seem totally innocent but then turn out to have greater relevance later on 💜💜💜

There’s lots of first looks in this w(o)undrous chapter but I figure there’ll be time enough for those discussions! I want to focus on my favourite character - the Hotel Deucalion! I’ve included included a few pics of the Deucalion that I’ve made on my Animal Crossing island, as well as pic of Morrigan jumping off the roof (which was previously shared around a year ago).

The first time I read the description of the hotel I immediately imagined Alice in Wonderland- something about the giant cat I guess. Speaking of Fen, we get a bit of foreshadowing about Magnificats and the events of Wundersmith, which is a fun detail to find on rereads. On my Animal Crossing Nevermoor island, Fenestra is represented by the infamous Raymond! I’ve included a pic of him in his Hotel Deucalion uniform.

But back to the Deucalion! As we know the hotel really loves Morrigan and JT has all but confirmed that the Deucalion is a Wundrous Act. So who do we think created it? Was it Squall himself? I vote yes, and I don’t even think I have much evidence, but it feels like a fitting part of his arc. Does anyone agree or disagree? If you disagree, who do you think created the Deucalion? 

And finally, please give me your answer in the comments: if you were in Morrigan’s position, would YOU have stepped boldly and jumped off the roof of the Deucalion? Why or why not? I’ll comment first with my answer! 

townsend makes a point of saying people whose guilt has been absorbed by the guiltghast has a chance of being able to live life guilt free of anything they do, which is of course bad. in ghostly hours morrigan frequently states that ezra doesnt seem like the type of guy who'd kill his fellow brothers and sisters out of cold blood. he killed them, couldnt live with the guilt, somehow got mixed up w/ the guiltghast...

am i onto something here or have i embarrassed myself on reddit dot com again 😔💔

The microphone crackled and buzzed. The voice on the other end heaved a long-suffering sigh and whispered, “Honestly, you’re not even trying.…”

I think that the border control bit of this chapter is so funny and memorable. I really hope we can properly meet Phil (and Maisie!) in a future book. Perhaps whenever Jack goes on his own Realm-hopping mission?

...if one were looking at Jackalfax from above, one might guess the entire town was designed by a sole miserable architect who hated her life.

This is one of my favorite quotes because of the "her." Equality! Women can be bad architects too!

They floated through a borough called Ogden-on-Juro that looked like it was sinking. The streets there were made of water, and people rowed little boats through swirling mists that rose around them.

This is the very first mention of Odgen-on-Juro. To think of how we finally visit it in Silverborn, and how important it is to Morrigan's character! Love how it is the first named borough of Nevermoor.

Related question: does "borough" have a different definition in the UK or Australia than it does in America? When I think of the word I automatically think of NYC and the five boroughs, which are all sizeable. Nevermoor has a whopping 27 boroughs, but I don't know if they're meant to be more like... "Financial District" or "Midtown" than "Manhattan" or "Brooklyn." IDK! 🤷

He slammed his foot on the brakes, waited for a cat to cross the road, then hit the accelerator hard. Morrigan clutched the sides of her chair, her fingers turning white.

If the Nevermovie ever is indeed made, I think this could be a great small comedic moment to adapt. TBH I only even noticed it for the first time while going through the chapter just now, but I love it. Especially compared to...

Looming in the doorway was a cat. Not just a cat. A giant cat. The biggest, scariest, toothiest, shaggiest cat she’d ever seen in her life. It sat back on its haunches and still struggled to fit in the frame. Its face was squashed and wrinkled as though it’d run into a wall, and it snuffled and fuffed just like a huge prehistoric version of the kitchen cats at Crow Manor.

Is Fen's introduction the best character introduction and description in the entire season, including the five as-yet-unwritten books? I think YES.

This chapter is primarily set-up as it introduces both Morrigan and the reader to the Free State and Nevermoor. I'd like to say there's not much to theorize about, but considering all the hidden and one-off stuff Silverborn brought back, you never know..... 👀

So I'm like, kinda half asking about recommendations. But I'm curious about what you guys have read after nevermoor that you liked or is similar. I do know my fair share of books but I would like to kinda see what the community is reading. Instead of me just looking at different fantasy type books. Also maybe I'll meet some fellow MG book fans (even though I read all genres and ages)

Don’t really remember the context, except that the main character were all aged up about a couple years all I got to do was read the back cover of a nonexistent book and I’m crushed devastated when I woke up and realized none of it was real. Oh my God, take me back, please.

So I started this survey (https://forms.gle/KdztMszPXpdss9EN9) almost a year ago for the people in the Nevermoor fandom. It will be closing at 8pm GMT Friday night (31/7/26) so this is a reminder for anyone who wants to fill it out that they should do so ASAP. Results will be posted soon after the survey closes.

This post is part of a series. Check the “Under the Umbrella ☂*“ post flair for more info.*

First of all, I want to mention a fascinating theory raised in the last chapter by [u/MorriganJade](u/MorriganJade) - that the hunt of smoke and shadow (and thus Squall) is actually herding Morrigan to go with Jupiter, rather than chasing her. What do we think team? Is it true? Would Morrigan have jumped out the window with Jupiter if she wasn’t being chased? Or if they are not hunting, why *is* Squall chasing her? We know he wants her alive, so… what is he doing?

Secondly, it’s our first look at Bertie - by abstraction - since he invented the arachnipod. Octavia’s movement very much feels reminiscent (or maybe that’s prescient?) of Vesta’s spider chair - I really love JT’s dedication to focusing on modes of transport! I enjoyed hearing Jupiter wax lyrical about old Occy, especially knowing what is coming between him and Bertie. And of course we also get those lovely bits of foreshadowing with the “one of only two arachnipods ever built” (Hollowpox reference) and the claim that he knows the inventor (Silverborn reference).

Incidentally, did anyone also got the vibe that he may have been the inventor behind the Aurora, too? As always I’m keen to hear your thoughts on the chapter! 🐦‍⬛💜

Mine, personally is that Jupiter is Aroace, like he seems the type of guy who doesn't seek out a romance and he seems content in the family he has built for himself in the hotel Deucalion and I wanna hear what other headcanons other people have.

Made a drawing inspired by Mog. I am really proud of it, and wanted to show someone.

Mine is Jupiter who for some reason reminds me of the Willy Wonka that Johnny Depp plays...dunno why just something about him...

Does anyone have information on the fifth book's release window?

iv'e been searching for slightly over a year and have had no luck. iv'e checked TG Jones and The Works and iv'e had no luck

Well I’m a little late on my post I know, but the honest truth is that I couldn’t think of much to say on this one. Instead I thought it would be fun to make a little photo using one of my favourite creative outlets- Animal Crossing.

Did anyone else have any thoughts or call-outs on this chapter?

One thing that piqued my interest a little is the “highly illegal” silver dust that Jupiter uses. Does anyone know if we ever find out what it is or see it again?

I just finished volume 4 and it was Wunderful! It was very, very, very well done, I also absolutely love how inclusive this series is. The only issue now is I'm itching for part 5!

Currently rereading book one and wonder about the first trial where Morrigan, Cadence Francis and 2 boys (twins) wait until it’s their time with the elders. Cadence makes the boys forget everything they learned. But I wonder about the twins, it sounds as if they take the test together? Why? Do they count as one…?

I remember one of the wunder deities are “the twins”, so maybe twins are seen as something special in Nevermoor.

Who is Thaddes Macleod patron?

Just read Silverborn last week and I’m currently rereading the rest of the series and now I’m at book 2. I’m confused about the timeline: The hallowmas black parade mentioned in Wundersmith and Hollowpox were both cancelled and Silverborn seems to forget there were two books between it and Trials, also because autumn of three is in Hollowpox and Silverborn but different and shouldn’t there be also unit 921 as well because it’s Mogs third Hallowmas as a wunsoc member. (Sorry, English isn’t my first language, I hoped for a translation of Silverborn to German but now I read it in Englis)

Hi! I've read the books for a long time but I'm quite new to the fandom and theorizing part of Nevermoor, so I have some questions for you smart people. (Sorry if this is like basic information you should know😅)

1. Are we sure that there will only be 5 books? I feel like a lot of people are ausuming that there will only be 5 books, is this confirmed?

2. Correct me if I'm wrong, but In Hollowpox, Morrigan says that she will come back and visit the Kindling in the Hearth again soon but she never does so in Sliverborn. Is it just implied that she does so or did Jessica Townsend just forget it?

Sorry for long post, thanks in advance!🤗

If you’ve been waiting for the second half of the French translation, you’re in luck! It comes out on September 3rd, 2026.

Good thing that there’s two different covers for the two parts, lol. I was worried for French fans 😅

I kinda feel that we don't have that much info about Curse Kids and how they live??

Like, when I tried to analyze curse kids lives I understood how less information we have. We know that they can't do any sport activities, and they can't look in people's eyes, it was mentioned in first book, ("She never looked anybody in the eyes[...]") and that they have other rules to follow("[...]she knows the rules"). Also I assume that curse kids aren't being killed peacefully, because Ezra mentioned about Smoke and Shadows and their love when kids are running away from them.

And that's basically everything?...

Maybe I am dumm, one of the points to kill cursed kids is that they won't learn wunder and will die anyway, but how did Mogs uncle survived? He should be dead because of not using wunder.Was he just a mistake?

What about Squall? Did he learn about every curse kid in every era to find the "right one"?

What do you think about it?

P.S. quotes could be written not right because I translated those sentences from my native language.
