Description
Ever since Cordelia discovered the hidden map in her father's precious telescope, she's been searching the streets of London by starlight and trying to uncover its secrets. She's sure that her missing father is out there somewhere, and that if she follows his map, she'll finally discover the truth about his disappearance.
She never expects to stumble upon a secret society of Mapmakers - or to learn that magic isn't limited to the few Maker families, but is instead is all around, if you just know where to look . . .
But danger is lurking around every corner, and Cordelia must convince the rival Maker families to work together for once - not only to bring her father home, but to save the very essence of magic itself . . .
A gorgeous adventure from exceptional new storytelling talent, Tamzin Merchant, featuring beautiful illustrations by Paola Escobar.

„The Mapmakers“ by Tamzin Merchant is the second book in the „Cordelia Hatmaker Series“. It seamlessly follows the first book and is centered around Cordelia’s search for her father. I listened to this on audiobook and the narration was great. I also adore the cover! It’s so magical and whimsical. Sadly the plot couldn’t convince me as much as the first book. I was bored by the villain and some of the turns the story took. Especially the parts that hinted towards the Arthurian Myth didn’t sit right with me. This could definitely be because it reads a bit younger than the first book. And since I’m a grownup enjoyer of middle grade novels I’m not the target audience. I would still recommend this for younger readers that liked the first book but I won’t continue in the series.
