The Mapmaker's War by Ronlyn Domingue
4.0
I'm surprisingly compelled by the form of this novel. The main character, Aoife, is retelling the story of her life, to herself: "You followed the path," "you loved him." "Tell the truth" she implores several times, each time making you wonder how truthful we really are with ourselves. The story isn't a page-turner - you won't lose sleep over any plot twists - but I just might lose sleep over how truthful this book was.
Part legend, part coming-of-age story, part cautionary tale, part romance. This book was a full yet casual read. It is essentially the story of a woman who told the truth as she knew it, and spent the rest of her life living with the consequences, good and bad, of such candor.
