The Mapmaker's Apprentice

Glass and Steele, Book 2

De: C. J. Archer

Narrado por: Marian Hussey

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. But the more they investigate, the more sinister plots they uncover, including a link between the Mapmakers' and Watchmakers' Guilds, and an ancient magical treasure buried beneath the streets of London.

As the net of suspicion widens and enemies draw closer, it's not just the apprentice's life that's in danger, but Matt's too. Someone will go to great lengths to prevent him discovering the name of the man who can fix the watch keeping him alive. Great lengths indeed.

Best One

I think this was the best book in the series! it kept my interest , I finished it faster than the other books.

Ugh narrator ruined it.

The story was good. Hopefully in the next book Matt and India finally get together. The narrator was awful. I really enjoyed the first book and wished that they kept the first narrator.

Better than the first

I found book two to be faster paced than the first and am ready to start book 3.

Narration not magical

Emma Powell who narrated the first book was magical. Each character had a distinctly unique voice. The new narrator, Marion Hussey, has a more breathy, fast paced, and higher pitched voice which does not make the story as magical and spellbinding.

Switched

I was initially a little bummed out to not hear the same narrator. Realizing it was a series to have the same narrator for all would have been better.

Quick keeping the mystery going

This is my second listen and I was able to catch more of the details I missed. well worth the tr

Loved it!

I love where this series is going. The characters are growing and becoming even more endearing. The mystery was darker this time and I get a feeling it is only going to continue that way. The narrator was much better in this book. I hope they keep her for the next one.

I loved it

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.

Nice sequel to the first in the series.

I liked the continuity from the first in the series. There is maybe too much attention on Glass and Steele as it seemed Matt’s cohorts had a much reduced and clichéd role. Still a fine second volume.

Awesome story and narration

Love the narrator! She is one of my favorites! She always brings the characters to life.
