A review by frenchleigh
The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd
4.0
I went to the woods for an English program once and a man taught me how to read maps. He said, “when the map and the world conflict, the world is right.” (If you know, you know). But what if the map is right instead?
This is the kind of book where everybody is somebody and everything is highly predictable and despite that I enjoyed it a lot. I give the first 90% of the book 5 stars. It’s well paced, magical and does justice to a big cast of characters.
My complaints are that the ending was a bit weaker than the rest of the book and I really disagreed with the moral structure of this world- people got blamed for things I didn’t think they were to blame for.
