A unique and compelling tale that kept me riveted to the pages, The Mapmaker's War is sure to be a best seller. Although it took me a bit to get into the story as it's written without any quotation marks, which makes it a bit trickier to decipher - I totally loved this book. Once I got used to the writing, I fell in love with the character of Aoife. Her journey isn't an easy one, but she prevails.
I thought the world building was intriguing, but it was the dynamics of Aoife's thoughts and her interaction with the other characters that had me invested in the outcome. I wanted her to be happy, but her sense of a peaceful existance, although desired by many, is not always as it seems on the surface. It's what lies beneath that is interesting. I would recommend this book to any age group over twelve and can't wait to read the next one next year! Fantastic!!
