If you love stories centered around artifacts with complicated histories that involve magic, this is the book for you — especially if you love maps. The New York Public Library and their Map Division have their time to shine here. I honestly gained a deeper appreciation of cartography as an academic discipline after reading this – though I do wish that the map-centric magic system was featured more here. Great for readers just finishing an Erin Morgenstein-like book and are in the mood to read more.
