The Mapmaker’s Apprentice
- Glass and Steele, Book 2
- Narrated by: Marian Hussey
When an apprentice from the Mapmakers’ Guild goes missing, Matt and India are hired to find him. Working in secret as a couple, they discover that not everyone in the guild is what they appear to be, and the boy’s extraordinary map has caused envy, doubt and fear.
Possessing one of the apprentice’s magical maps, India and Matt must use their wits and India’s fledgling, untried magic to find him. But the more they investigate, the more sinister plots they uncover, including a connection between the Association of Mapmakers and Clockmakers, and an ancient magical treasure buried beneath the streets of London.
As the web of suspicion expands and the enemy draws closer, not only the apprentice’s life is in danger, but Matt’s as well. Someone will do their best to prevent him from discovering the name of the man who can fix the watch that keeps him alive. Really great length.
I like the writing and the plot, but the narration distracts me. This narrator is not as good as Matt’s American accent. It’s as if she forgot he was supposed to be American. Also, she has this kind of breathless reading. so she’s okay, but really good.
I love this historical fantasy mystery. I liked the characters and the story, from start to finish. I will definitely be reading more from this author. Exquisite. The narration is top notch too.
Very well written . The plot is very good. Interesting about the magic of watchmakers. The watchmakers’ guild is against magic and has strict control over its members. India Steele and Matt Glass investigate a missing practitioner. Very interesting overall. I hope book three will be published soon.
