A little long, but enough twists for me, even though I guessed some - and most I did not.
Likeable characters.
Highly recommended fantasy for fans of maps and libraries (and the nerd found within).
And after the book comes proof that truth is stranger than fiction...
Have bought the ebook (pre-ordered 10 days before publication) and the audio-version, which came recommended from Book Riot.
Would like to see this filmed as a short series for streaming (Disney / Apple / Netflix / Prime?).

I listened to this on audio. It was a great cast of different readers bringing the story to life. All I knew when I started the book is it was about maps. And I have always loved maps of all kinds new, old, secret

This was so fun, yeah there’s some plot holes and I have some questions but it was still really good

The Cartographers is a fantasy, dark academia, mystery novel.
The concept of the story is pretty interesting and entertaining, and the story as a whole is great. However, the execution was what deprived me of truly enjoying the book. The POVs, the predictable twists, the pace, everything worked against it. The characters were interesting though.

You know what? I actually enjoyed this book! Had fun reading this. There was some magic, mystery and a little bit of (dark) academia.

I didn't know it would turn fantastical, kind of threw me off. I think I would have enjoyed it more if it had been more advertised as that?
