Very engaging.
Finished Perdido Station on Audible and in some ways better than the ground breaking book.
It was an interesting pairing as both have steampunk elements tho China Mielville's book far darker. While Nevermoor begs for a movie Perdido may be be a huge challenge and might be better left to the imagination....my daughter and I both had flashbacks for years after first read.

Blackfish City has the same potential for some nightmares tho I think it could be made into a series. Some visuals are astonishing.

Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow - Book Review
https://www.commonsensemedia.org
Kids will hide under the covers with a flashlight long after bedtime -- one more page! -- to read this highly satisfying and engrossing new fantasy. With its page-turning plot, offbeat humor, quirkily colorful characters, and richly imagined fantasy world, Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow has all the earmarks of a classic.
Fox has tapped “The Martian” screenwriter Drew Goddard to adapt and produce fantasy story “Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow” as a movie.
Very engaging.
