When an apprentice from the Mapmakers' Guild goes missing, Matt and India are employed to find him. Going undercover as a married couple, they discover that not everyone at the guild is what they seem, and the lad's unearthly maps caused jealousy, suspicion and fear. With one of the apprentice's magic maps in their possession, India and Matt must use their wits and India's fledgling, untried magic to find him.

I loved it
Revisado: 12-07-18
I loved it. It had fun characters and a good story. The action moved along nicely and it had good dialogue. It picked up right where book one ended and yet it was entirely it's own story. I enjoyed the narrator, too. I thought she had good pacing and emotion. I always knew who was speaking and none of the voices were annoying. Matt's character wasn't strongly American, but I enjoyed him nonetheless.

You are about to travel to Edgecombe St. Mary, a small village in the English countryside filled with rolling hills, thatched cottages, and a cast of characters both hilariously original and as familiar as the members of your own family. Among them is Major Ernest Pettigrew (retired), the unlikely hero of Helen Simonson's wondrous debut. Wry, courtly, opinionated, and completely endearing, Major Pettigrew is one of the most indelible characters in contemporary fiction, and from the very first page of this remarkable novel he will steal your heart.

Delightful + Exceptional narrator

Any additional comments?
I remembered enjoying this a few years ago, but wasn't sure the story warranted a second go. It did. The expression of thought so clever and so keen in observation of human nature was perfectly articulated and enhanced by the narrator. The story moves around nearly every sort of social conflict--race, culture, gender, age, tradition--with humor and grace. Major Pettigrew himself is quite delightful. He is both arrogant and vulnerable, self-centered and kind, blind yet understanding. I absolutely LOVED this audiobook.

Sevana Warran, reigning prodigy Artifactor of the age, has absolutely no desire to selflessly serve her fellow man. She wants, in fact, to be left alone so that she can putter about in her workroom.
But her efforts in avoiding other people prove to be in vain. The reigning family of Windamere is no longer sitting upon the throne and the Council has instead taken power. The sole hope of avoiding the evil machinations of the Council is Bellomi Dragonmanovich, Prince of Windamere.

Tedious
Revisado: 12-05-14

Better dialogue, and less of it.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Cress
What didn’t you like about Cheridah Best’s performance?
She did a great job at the young prince's voice as a young child, but as an adult I didn't want to listen to baby talk.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
disappointment
Any additional comments?
I wish I had paid attention to what some of the other reviewers said and not purchased this book/audio. I haven't listened past chapter 7 (drudgery the entire way) and when I skipped ahead to see if anything actually happened I came across the same dull conversations. Just not bored enough to continue; this was a disappointment. I read a lot of juvenile fiction and this was still too baby for me. If I ever finish the book and change my mind, I'll repost.
